Hello #education friends. This is a great opportunity for three #teachers to take a free summer roadtrip where they'd meet and learn from people leading the way with effective family engagement practices, and ultimately be featured in a documentary film. Please spread the word — applications are due on April 16.

Today I'm live tooting the #IES webinar entitled "Sharing Study Data: Implications for Education Researchers"
The panelists are going to talk about this guide to data sharing from the Institute of Education Sciences: https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/pubs/2022004/
If you are involved with or interested in K-12 education one of the people I highly recommend. I recently had him as a guest on my podcast and the first of two episodes is available now. Here is a direct link or you may use your favorite podcast app to listen to The Thoughtful Teacher Podcast.

Finished up the AI art project with the 8th graders today. They have created Chindogu projects (they had to describe it, draw it, and create it using AI Art).
Great class. Great kids.

Stop requiring college degrees for jobs that don’t need them:

#ITeachPhysics and have been using this Simpsons meme this year to emphasize certain points. I erased this particular message today because the kids were testing but I swear this is something I need to remind them about over and over again. #physics #edutooter
Our school begins a 2-week break at 3:00 today, so I just left a video comment in Google Classroom for each student using #ScreenPal . It makes video comments in Classroom super-fast. My class periods are short, and this allows me to give customized feedback and do quick progress checks on projects. My 6th graders likely won't check in over break (nor would I want them to), so the comments will help them pick up where they left off without a lot of backtracking. #middleschool #edtech #edutooter
❓ Can you design a non-violent video game about critical thinking?

Three signs it was a good class:
1. Kids don't want to leave when the timer goes off (I set a timer on my phone with a 2 min buffer).
2. Kids ask if they can keep working on their projects in quiet study (I don't assign homework).
3. Kids call you over during class - not to ask for help but to show you what they've discovered or created.
Bonus:
You overhear three kids (one boy, two girls) saying they love computer science as they're leaving the room.

I am watching students fighting against the French Olympiad exercises, they're being very brave!
From a mathematician's point of view, the exercises are interesting, but I guess that's frightening in the eyes of a 16 years-old!

#eduglow of this first day back at school:
1. A student was very happy when I told him that he was able to succeed in maths and that his grades were improving.
2. Another (really talented) student smiled timidly but also proudly when I told her that her method for solving a problem was smarter than what I would have done naturally myself.

I'm not perfect with my grading turnaround timelines, so I don't expect perfection on due dates as long as students *communicate* with me and ask for time.
In the "real world" timelines shift, things get reprioritized, and stuff happens. I want students to get practice in asking for help, and I'd rather have quality work and clear communication than something rushed.
I do have to balance my own workload though. It's tricky.

New Blog Post. “Why I left Twitter and went to Mastodon.” I wrote this myself. No help from #chatgpt. I have not been on Twitter since I left, which was a few days after the new year. I actually feel better. http://edtechman.blogspot.com/2023/02/why-i-left-twitter-and-went-to-mastodon.html?m=1 #mastodon #twitter #toot #edtech #edchat #angryalgorithm @edutooters @edutooter #edutooter #edutooters #opensource #free #freedom #education #personallearningnetwork
I have friends in the education community who will (I hope!) be making the move from Twitter to Mastodon this week.
What are good education-focused instances that are open to new registrations right now?
(Yes, they can default to generalist instances in a pinch, but education instances would be preferable.)
Thank you for your recommendations!

Yesterday during advisory our 7th graders traveled to Windsor Park Elementary, in CMS (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools) to partner up with "1st Grade buddies." Our buddy pairs and triads built bird feeders together, designing them and making them with paper bowls, string, rings, and cheerios. It was so fun! /1

I recently spoke with a #journalist with #The74Million about #homeschooling. Article came out today and it focuses on an #Outschool "study" about why families #homeschool and the increase of this #SchoolChoice option.

Abolish the #college Honor Code?
The #student writer makes interesting and valid points about how #Princeton (and all #HigherEd for that matter) Honor Codes create a double disciplinary whammy to #FLI students. What's missing from the piece, though, is any stats on whether or not first gen college students are disproportionately brought up on violations. #edutooter #academia
