Ronda Blevins, Author

I’ve got a bundle this weekend that is great for a gift for the teachers (or those brand new grads) in your life!!

All set up and ready for a great weekend at Knoxville Book Festival!! Huge thanks to Amanda Willocks-Giles for her help yesterday and my bestest book show buddy Alyssa Blevins for all her help this morning and through the show!! Ronda Williams Blevins

I’m excited to share that I’ll be at the Knoxville Book Festival 2026 on May 2–3, 2026!

Come see me at the Knoxville Convention Center where I’ll be talking about *Finding Perfect Chaos in Your Classroom*, connecting with fellow educators and readers, and sharing a sneak peek of my upcoming devotional, *Finding Perfect Chaos in Your Life*.

If you’ve ever felt like teaching (or life) is a little messy… you’re in the right place. That’s where the growth happens.

Stop by, say hello, and grab a little encouragement to take with you.

Hope to see you there!

Coming back to posting with intention.

I stepped back for a bit to recalibrate, and honestly, it reminded me how much educators need space to breathe in this always-on digital world.

So this month I’m focusing on digital wellness, sustainable teaching, and finding positivity in the chaos.

Not because the work is easy.
Because it’s worth protecting ourselves so we can keep doing it well.

If you’re feeling stretched thin, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it.

With all of the focus on what to do with next week's classes happening all over the south because of this snowpocalypse that is supposed to hit this weekend, I want to remind everyone that when you are making decisions, think about digital equity.

Is this storm going to take down power lines and disrupt internet capabilities? How will you handle this if you are telling your students that we will just be online instead of in person?

Even if power lines and internet are untouched, do all of your students have the capability to be streaming classes? Do you need to do videos that they can do as they are able?

Don't just "prep everyone for online coursework" without taking into account the strengths and weaknesses that your students (and faculty) may face in accessing that online system.

I’ve had a great time at the Literacy Association of Tennessee serving on an author panel and doing a reading and meet and greet this weekend!!

Excited to be at the Mossy Creek Literacy Conference at Carson-Newman today selling and signing books and presenting a little later!!
