The difference between a district educator and a classroom educator.
The district person will say, do this it makes us look good.
The classroom educator will say, do this is is good for the student.

If you have a second display attached to your computer, then you have the option to mirror or extend the screen. Mirroring duplicates the computer's screen while extending treats each display as a separate screen.

One week before exams start, Students' stress level hit the exponential fase... Go on, kids! You've fought your way up to third year, I'm sure you know how to wrestle this beast by now. You got this!
Teaching staff will pull you out whenever you get really stuck, but not one minute sooner. Learning was never meant to be easy.

Early morning thoughts on why #teachers matter.
Tech has always been an amplifier and sometimes makes issues difficult to ignore. I don't have an easy answer, but I agree with this opinion article from a university professor on how AI tools have made the previously existing problem of cheating more difficult to overlook. Many of the ideas apply to secondary education too. https://www.insidehighered.com/advice/2023/04/06/chatgpt-catalyst-instructors-deal-cheating-opinion
Do you agree that cheating was wider-spread than previously recognized or do you believe AI tools greatly increase cheating? #ai #edtech #edutooter

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.

Hey teachers, if you are going to share students’ work with others, get their permission. I don’t care the rationale or the justification. If you don’t you are showing gross disrespect for them as humans and creators. #edutooter

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.
If you read the 74M piece, please be sure to also read through my old 🧵 about the OS #research and how they initially misrepresented publicly available data.
