On the eve of welcoming my first kiddo into the world, I think it is time to do some major thanks to all of you who have impacted me in both my personal and professional world. I am almost certainly going to miss people, but just know you all helped shape me in some way

First of all, I have to give a major shoutout to both @DoerDi and @kshaw0128 - you both helped teach me, support me, and encourage me in the EdTech world. Whether it was challenging me in the work I do or the courses I took/taught, you both pushed me & inspire me. Thank you!

My Green Bay Tech family was all sorts of incredible - I learned DAILY from all of you how to be a better educator & person. @Braz74 was a partner in crime in MANY of the tech schemes, as well as @mrgfactoftheday @book_techjunkie @alsterckx @LisaHesseOlson @JoshuaPatchak

Let& #39;s not forget @AverbeckTech @MrsSchroederASD & @layden_jen from Ashwaubenon - so many great memories of #MWGS & #SwimUpPD - thank you for always being up for an adventure!

And what would #SwimUpPD be without folks like @AggieSalterITS @a_fenstermaker @kwildehealey @MrKlinge and MANY more. Basically anyone who has hung out with me at conferences has been such a driving force in where I am and where I am headed

Speaking of conferences, I am still forever indebted to folks like @mrmatera @tishrich @TaraMartinEDU @MrBold05 @carrie_baughcum & many others for letting me hang out, be weird, and play games with them during #ISTE and other events. Always love seeing my people!

I definitely owe a shoutout to @irvspanish and @misterwashburn at my first #FETC a few years ago. They invited all of Twitter to meet them for dinner, and these dudes treated me like a friend from minute one. Bonus points for also meeting up with @Gameboydrew there as well

I also owe @froehlichm for always being up to talk, motivate me, inspire me, and also share a good laugh. You& #39;re a good one, Mandy. Thanks!

I also have an incredible mentor in @deelanier - just watching how he carries himself is inspiration enough, but chatting with him always leads me to important ideas, questions, etc. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me, man.

What& #39;s great is that Dee& #39;s mentorship has helped me *try* to do the same for @EdTechLegaspi - though I often wonder which one is the mentor & who is the mentee, heh. Darryl - you& #39;re one of a kind, man. It& #39;s been a pleasure getting to know you and @ElizabethKing88

All of this talk takes me back to my people - #LAX18 - this group has meant so much to me on a personal and professional level. I don& #39;t think a tweet will do this group justice... it& #39;s honestly just fun to watch them changing education each day.

Shoutout to @sadieclorinda for helping BOTH myself and my students with design. I learn something EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Then you have @manuelherrera33 making us all into a freakin& #39; button. I still have the button, man!

Who can forget the epic trivia team of @mrsleban @Terencewhite23 @AdamGeisen @MikeWielgus & many more #LAX18 crewmates at #IDEACon - too good!

There& #39;s other #LAX18 crew members who I just am floored by daily - @knikole @KatieJMcNamara @chanatown @seanmarnold @abbyinprogress @almeridoremi @cogswell_ben @suzanasomers @rcarroll2003 @Jay__Dubois @greggeilers @TeachingTechNix @EdTechEddie @MrsDi & more

Then you just have dudes like @BradShreffler who will just offer to let you crash at his house when your flight gets cancelled, or @MrNunesteach who would buy you a cup of coffee at #ISTE just & #39;cause. There are tons of people just like that in EdTech. It& #39;s just fantastic.

I can& #39;t forget @ShareefJackson
- it& #39;s been incredible teaching Video Games & Learning with you and seeing your passion for equity in gaming. It& #39;s inspiring to watch you speak, and I learn from you every class, man.
