Citations is also an excellent citation creator app— because, well, that's its sole purpose. It doesn't have any “plagiarism detectors” or “grammar checkers." But, it does its job incredibly well, to help #students and #teachers GET WORK DONE! Citations has support for 5 different citation formats: MLA (default), APA, Chicago, IEEE, and Harvard. It formats each citation correctly, so all you have to do is copy & paste. You can also add/remove authors, and the date field, for versatility.
Citations also respects your #privacy unlike these other tools many #students use to get their work done. Citations is private with no ads, trackers, or any kind of in-app promotion. In fact, Citations runs without an internet connection at all. All of your data is yours forever— I don’t even collect analytics. It's built from the ground up to be more privacy conscious than any other tool that formats citations.
Because, come on, a citation creation app shouldn't sell your data.

At parent teacher conferences for his school last week, one of my 16yo's teacher told him how much she admires his writing: it's concise and spot-on, which is very hard to do, she told him. He felt very good hearing that compliment, and it made me realize how rarely we all hear praise for our work. This is a reminder to me to look for more opportunities to share with people how much I appreciate them, and to be specific about my praise. #Writing #teachers #students #praise

IRI security forces have caught a man and his daughter "while spreading chemical poisonous gas" at a school in Iran.
The report is also saying that they were recording the reaction of the gas at the time they were caught
According to Reisi, the president of the regime, the attacks are a coordinated by "enemies of the nation" and the whole security apparatus of the regime is at highest alert to identify and capture those criminals.

This School Regularly Calls Police to Arrest Disabled Students. Now the Feds are Investigating.

On #Michigan Radio, State Rep. Matt Koleszar said that holding #students back does not help them to read better. "We’ve seen it in other states and there is zero data from any other states that suggests that retention is the way to go. We’ve go enough data to know it’s not working. Plus, in Michigan we retain such a low number of students anyways that we are seeing the kids that are retained disproportionately in communities of color."
More students at Bristol University are re-taking a year. In 2019, 375 students retook the year, according to an #FOI . That fell to 180 in the 2020 academic year.
However, in 2021, 570 students retook the year, while in 2022, it was 825.

Bailiffs forcibly entered a student home and installed a pre-payment energy meter after accommodation firm UniHomes seemingly failed to pass on the household’s payments to the energy supplier.
UniHomes offers packages in which students’ rent, energy and Wi-Fi bills are rolled into one fixed-price payment.
But #students at several universities say that they’ve been threatened by bailiffs, debt collectors and energy companies – despite having paid Unihomes.

> ... in the world of training and #teaching, quantity is better measured than quality. What’s easy to measure is the number of hours taught or the number of students taught, but the quality of the teaching or its transformative effect on the student is harder to include in metrics. To increase the “productivity” of a teacher, you may add a few students in the classroom.. you’ve magically created productivity. It doesn’t matter if the #teacher is boring and the #students hate...
#FD #FacDev
Of the 109 universities that responded to #FOI requests, 64 said they had given no refunds or compensation over teaching quality during Covid-19.
The refunds that were paid, totalling £1.5 million, were shared among 1,300 students.

Q: Teachers are worried students will cheat on writing assignments using AI. List 10 ways teachers might work around this and use AI as an advantage instead of something to avoid
A:
* Provide clear instructions and guidelines for assignments that make it clear that AI-generated content is not acceptable.
* Use plagiarism detection software to check for similarities between student work and other sources.
* Incorporate AI-specific assignments or activities into the curriculum to teach students about the capabilities and limitations of AI.
* Use AI as a tool for writing assistance, such as for proofreading or grammar checking.
* Use AI to generate prompts or topics for writing assignments to increase creativity and originality.
* Have students collaborate on writing assignments using AI tools to encourage teamwork and peer feedback.
* Use AI-based writing exercises or activities to enhance students' writing skills, such as sentence structure, vocabulary and grammar.
* Use AI to personalize the learning experience for students by providing them with writing prompts and exercises tailored to their interests and abilities.
* Have students reflect on how AI can be used ethically in writing and other forms of communication.
* Use AI to provide formative feedback on student writing, highlighting areas for improvement and offering suggestions for revision.

Dear Geveret Smith,
I am writing to address some concerns that you expressed in your letter about the class #holiday activities held over the past week.
First of all, I want to express that our #PublicSchool loves ALL our #students.
We have a #diverse #student body, we hold #diversity training every year, and we prioritize being good #allies to our #Christian students.

Please help this teacher get #water #quality testing supplies to use with mostly #BIPOC kids in #Akron #Ohio https://www.donorschoose.org/project/mad-scientists/6555693/?utm_source=dc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=proposal_expiring_donor&rf=email-system-2022-12-proposal_expiring_donor&utm_swu=1993 #WaterQuality
