I don’t know who needs to hear this, but grade 12 students still very much want stickers on their work.
The smartest 1% never stop learning. They will own the future. 23 things to learn in 2023 (and get in the game):
If ChatGPT doesn’t cause educators (& education) to pause & reflect on how & what we teach, our students are being underserved & undervalued. Never before has the need for skills such as curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, personal/social awareness been so important. A🧵
'This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,' said Toad. Frog looked through the window. 'Toad, you are right,' said Frog. 'It is a mess.' Toad pulled the covers over his head.
This. This. 1000x this.

The difference between BEING innovative and LOOKING innovative begins with #PD. Don’t buy a ton of devices, offer no PD and say “Hey, go innovate now” It’s not good for the teacher, it’s not good for the students, it’s not good for anyone. Invest in PD. INNOVATE!

A4: I think this one will need to be taught. Beyond a "credit", how do the voices of those who have earned the badges become amplified because they have earned them. I think employers would value them as they would demonstrate skills. #BadgeChat
A3: So, I was a Girl Scout! They excelled in Civic Participation badges ... you just had to be a Scout. I think that similar would be a great start - for everyone. Voting, community service, healthy online discourse, there's a pretty long list to put together! #BadgeChat
Uhm @SenorG ... each of these questions could be a whole chat, Man! :)
A2: With the access to people and data, I think that words are easier (think "keyboard jockey") but we're going to need a new measure of influence ... in today's connected word, are actions always louder than words? I don't know. #BadgeChat
OK, @SenorG ... I've been thinking about this one. Connection is important for building social capital - norms, social trust, etc. I like that access is easier than it's been. That is also a worry ... both for the seedier side of access and the lack of equal access. #BadgeChat
I can't attend but, man, am I having some serious FOMO on this one! #badgechat #BadgeSummit

A3: I've gotten to do a couple of backflips over the years! I think the one that's consistently been with me is "write a book" ... there are several genres I've considered over the years. But I haven't just done it. #ChatOnEducation #whatsyourbackflip
A friendly tweet, an invite to an #fetc session on make code, followed by an evening of board games. @mr_isaacs, you’ve sent @mrnultisanerd and I down a very interesting and meaningful journey into game design and real world education. We appreciate you. #pln #TeacherApprecation
A2: I've had to practice this one a lot, but I work with "Let's make better mistakes tomorrow" as my mindset. I have, over time, adjusted my expectations. I know that if everything is perfect, nothing is growing. I've had to learn to embrace the mess. #ChatOnEducation

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but grade 12 students still very much want stickers on their work.
Teachers, want to take something off your plate? Put HW in the trash, especially for elementary grades. Let students go home to run, play, and enjoy being a child. And read a little after playing. Then they come to school recharged instead of stressed out and you will too!
I wish people from here were over on the other place. It’s a breath of fresh air. This place has gotten so Musky. I’m @TheRealHoarse there too.
Going to try posting a long form post here. Buckle up. Occasionally I hear teacher’s say that they question learning from presenters or facilitators who have been out of the classroom for a while. That’s a reasonable concern but it’s also very contextual.

@letsquitteachin That's a critical, core question that's rightfully and thoughtfully debated a lot these days--is learning more abt skill or more abt knowledge? I personally don't believe there is skill without knowledge. Check this out aft.org/periodical/ame…

Inquiry and direct instruction are not in opposition. Too much of either is bad for students who have the capacity to Google anything they want. Right now, my students want more direct instruction and less figuring things out and I’m working to meet them where they are.
My daughter wrote this a few years ago. I keep it at my desk for school days like today. So proud of her, for being her. I am tired of the doubting voices - this really helps me to recenter and and to keep going.
Using a calculator isn’t cheating. Using spellcheck isn’t cheating. Using Google isn’t cheating. Using audiobooks isn’t cheating. Using #ChatGPT isn’t cheating. Let’s stop trying to catch kids cheating and start creating authentic assignments they won’t want to cheat on.
Why are ethics questions always like: "is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?" And not: "is it ethical to hoard bread when families are starving?"
One of the best pieces of advice I can give teachers on building relationships with home adults/parents: Talk to them like they are experts and you’re a newer team member. Ask for their help and expertise before assuming you know more more/better.
All of life’s challenges fall into either your circle of control, or circle of concern. Turn your attention toward the circle of control. That’s where happiness lives. #SundayMotivation
If you wear an Apple Watch, Apple TV should be able to rewind back to the spot where you dozed off.
Kids who are going to “cheat” are going to do it regardless of the tool. Excel can do math, Alexa and Google can write essays… There are tools for all kinds of “cheating” #ChatGPT isn’t the problem. Meaningless assessment is the problem.
