The EdTech Playbook Hits #1

5 days ago | ictevangelist.com | Mark Anderson

It’s been a while since I last posted here. Not because there hasn’t been anything to say, quite the opposite. It’s been a relentless year, full of work I care deeply about, but also the kind that takes its toll when you don’t stop to take stock. So, here I am, finally pausing to mark something that does deserve a moment.
Mark Anderson: The Mansion or the apartment?

1 month ago | starherald.com | Mark Anderson

We recently had the chance to live like royalty — briefly. While visiting our son and his family in another city, a friend offered us the keys to their $3 million lake home. Think designer kitchen, a rain shower bigger than our first apartment, and a view that makes you forget to check your phone. It was tempting. Very tempting. But we didn’t stay there. Instead, we crashed on the couch in our son’s modest apartment.

Bruce Cassidy says Golden Knights' poor play this week not 'a one-off'

2 months ago | starherald.com | Mark Anderson |Mark Anderson

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mark Stone had a point-blank opportunity Thursday night, but when Winnipeg goalie Eric Comrie denied his shot, the Golden Knights' captain slammed his stick on the ice. It was that kind of night — and week — for Stone and his Vegas teammates. They entered the week seven points ahead of Los Angeles in the Pacific Division, but the seemingly comfortable lead is down to three after losses to Edmonton and Winnipeg and consecutive victories by the Kings.
Keeping Love Alive: Spring has sprung

2 months ago | starherald.com | Mark Anderson

Spring officially began on March 20. That means any day now in Nebraska we should be hit with a major winter storm, right? Spring becomes an exciting time. Newness all around us. Days get longer, grass begins to grow, and flowers begin to bloom. By the end of the month, average temperatures could be 20-30 degrees higher than they are on average now. Since spring is a season of renewal, couples can harness this power by focusing on renewing their relationship.

2 months ago | starherald.com | Mark Anderson |Mark Anderson

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Dodgers have spent a lot of money hoping to win their second straight World Series and bettors are putting their cash on Los Angeles. BetMGM Sportsbook has taken 37.8% of its futures money on the Dodgers, which far exceeds its previous high of 21.7% of money that was placed on the 2022 New York Mets. It's also far ahead of this year's Mets, who at 9.4% are receiving the second-highest amount of the handle. The New York Yankees are third at 7.7%.

Crafting high-quality, engaging, and well-structured lessons that account for student misconceptions, differentiation, and assessment is an ongoing challenge.

Keepin’ Love Alive: Lucky in Love

2 months ago | starherald.com | Mark Anderson

As the world prepares to wear green and celebrate luck this Monday on St. Patrick’s Day, it’s the perfect time to reflect on one of the most cherished forms of luck we can experience — being lucky in love. But what does that really mean? Is it a matter of chance, or is it something that can be nurtured and cultivated over time? In truth, being lucky in love is about more than just finding the right person — it’s about actively working to keep your relationship strong over time.
Keepin’ Love Alive: Ash Wednesday marks a time of reflection

Mar 5, 2025 | starherald.com | Mark Anderson

Yesterday marked Ash Wednesday. Celebrated by many Christian denominations, it begins Lent, which is 46 days before Easter and a time for self-reflection, spiritual growth, and renewal. For many, this time is about giving something up or committing to new habits that align with their values. But what if we expanded the concept of reflection beyond religion and applied it to our relationships as well?
Keepin' Love Alive: Surviving the cold spells

Mar 3, 2025 | starherald.com | Mark Anderson

Wow, last week was chilly! I'm relieved to feel the warmth creeping back in, especially for a Nebraska winter — it’s actually feeling pretty mild. I love living in a place where the cold isn’t always biting. Much like the fluctuating temperatures in Nebraska, relationships also go through cold spells. My wife and I hit one recently — my own doing, of course. While these rough patches are never fun, they usually pass before long, and life gets back to its sunnier side.
