These days, given the ubiquitousness of technology in an age of quick-quick-answers, they took the time to invest in the characters, the story, all of it.
I’m not happy that there were some broken hearts—I’m proud that they moved with the book/story and came out better for it.
#Teacher Brag: So my classes just wrapped Of Mice and Men…and every class today finished the novel aloud…and every class had students who audibly gasped at the ending.
Y’know…I’m proud of them.
Their gasp means they were invested. They cared. They bought in.
@superladkid@ModestTeacher It’s really one of those things where I ask myself, “Is the bathroom really a point of contention?” Usually no. If you gotta go, then by all means, please go.
The only thing I ask my students is to please be respectful of my time. It’s also their responsibility to get caught up.
Gotta give a major shoutout to @processfeedback for making an amazing data-PACKED extension.
Cool how much data is given back so I can analyze student writing…not just for instances of academic honesty, but also how much time they’re spending on assignments, typing speed, etc!
And sure, I could suspect part of their responses are based on quiz date movement.
But the ones who emailed me are the ones who I know would be ready no matter what.
So there’s that.
I just emailed my students to tell them I’m moving a quiz bc I had to call out for the day bc my son is sick.
I just got some emails at 7:38 PM, all of them wishing my son to get better soon (from a cold).
This..is why I have the best job in the world.

@McDonalds Daily double upgrade used to be $6…and that was less than a year ago go…LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. Let that sink in.
McDonald’s is already raising prices on their “value” meals.
Nah.
I’m still jet lagged after coming back from my home country, but man, I really wanted to go to ISTE this year. Seeing this, now I REALLY wish I could have gone.
Big fan of @Kaepernick7, and would have loved to hear his keynote!

@phintz@emollick@CoSN@il_etl@fetc Also, the latter reason about teachers being afraid of AI is the exactly why I like running the “AI 101” workshop.
People fear what they don’t understand. AI is not anything to be afraid of but people fear it bc they don’t understand it. Let’s show them how useful it really is!
@phintz@emollick@CoSN@il_etl@fetc Absolutely absolutely true.
I don’t work for these companies whose applications I use, but the sheer amount of time saved and efficiency, plus the effort it saves me (ever try to rewrite prompts for student writing? Ugh…), what a lifesaver!
“Don’t let co-design and student voice be just buzzwords. Make them practice.”
At today’s Solutions Summit, @Kaepernick7 challenged us to flip the script by giving students space to lead, share, and shape the future of learning. From AI-powered storytelling to cross-curricular healing, his keynote reminded us that the best ideas don’t come from the top; they come from the classroom. #ISTELive #ASCDAnnual
Fun things I heard today in my classroom:
“What’s intelligence?”
“Yeah, AI runs on water.”
It’s not even 11 AM yet.
#Teacher#TeacherLife#StuffStudentsSay
Just found out that an extension (draft back) I use QUITE frequently has decided it needs to be a paid extension. This is after it has been free for YEARS.
I understand that proper credit is due and ppl should be paid, but man…I can’t express enough how disappointed I am.
