Absolutely agree: good instructors are a vital. I mention private ed because they are the ones focused on teaching (instead of research) in Brazil (where I come from) and many countries. That's not to say that public Ed can't attract and value good instructors: I think they should. But the current reality that I can see is not that, unfortunately.

Seasonal reminder: Alcohol is a completely legal drug that destroys lives, relationships and families. Don't make it hard for people who are trying to stay sober to enjoy festivities and functions.

@nd_acolyte @edmunds_t @edutooters @academicchatter we are programmed to learn through fun and play from a very early age. The idea that this should not be part of our approach to teaching/education is frankly ridiculous.

Hello all,
Please boost this toot to spread it around.
The link is to a formal logic textbook which I have been compiling and expanding. I have been the only one editing/fact-checking it, so I would love to have other eyes look it over or even play-test it in the classroom. It also has an OER and open-source course companion, Carnap.io, if you would like to use that.

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.

Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.

This is the only real time travel paradox.

If Republicans think "mental health" is the biggest issue then why are they so intent on arming them with the most lethal weapons known to man?

Where’s the lie? 🤔

For those in the #EdTech or academic spaces, I've noticed that Humanities Commons (https://hcommons.org/) has a Mastodon instance:

If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden

Proposed resolution:

When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.

No ads on fedi.

Edit: This is a PROPOSAL. The intent of this is not to dictate terms, but to encourage admins to develop and consider policy before the crisis happens.

Want an introduction to #CulturallyResponsiveTeaching, not to be confused with #CriticalRaceTheory?

You need to watch this 2017 webinar via Corwin.

In anticipation of reading Zaretta hammond’s book, Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain, I decided to watch her webinar (twice, it was that good!).

Any other High School Game Design Teachers on Mastodon, let's connect #edutooters

@aus_teach @AlliFlowers @edmunds_t @edutooters that, and also how we define “engagement” are always fun conversations to have.
