and this is your brain after a day of preparing to teach entirely online:

This is a melted green rubber duck I found online, and I find this to be a pretty accurate representation of what my brain feels like right now. I sure hope I sleep well because I’ll need all those hours of deep non-REM sleep to process everything I’ve learned (newer data suggest this stage of sleep is the most important for learning and memory, and that’s from John Hopkins, so I assume it’s legit).
As for the part of my sleep that involves dreaming, I hope it has nothing to do with screens, elbow bumps, or masks.
The idea that, before all this, your brain was anything like an unmelted green rubber duck makes me laugh!
Sweet dreams!

Amen! I think I’ll actually cry the first time I get to teach in my classroom again!
