We used Apollo crew debriefs to identify skills needed for the next moon landings, including adaptability,
overcoming visual illusions, and enhanced crew coordination. Then we designed a training program to ensure we pick up where they left off. We Are Going (Back) @NASAArtemis

@EEtkina An amazing example of how topics from #edresearch and pedagogy can come together in a very practical way in a curriculum. Physics Ed is discussed but I think it is very applicable to all subject areas. https://t.co/kYKwlZ41DL

🤩 Step off of Earth and onto Mars as @NASAPersevere.

We collaborated w/ @NatGeo to help them create this new @Instagram immersive effect that lets you become our rover & places you inside Perseverance's newly released high-def panorama of Jezero Crater. https://t.co/uCYkngIKqH

@mathillustrated I’m more curious about “same ability”. Is that when everyone can solve the problem just like the teacher?

[Jim Flakker @JimFlakker]

Make edu relavent and authentic so S’s can see their work as leading towards thier own success. https://t.co/NBSTOn9euG

@mathillustrated Anything less is akin to not believing they can do it. They deserve better than that!

Not sure why some schools R canceling spring breaks 4 Ss & Ts. Online schooling in the middle of pandemic is not less stressful & it certainly does not require less work. Mental health is as important as "continuity of instruction" for Ts & Ss. #edchat #satchat #tlap #suptchat

[Benjamin Doxtdator @doxtdatorb]

My one piece of advice if you’ve moved to a busy distance learning schedule: tell Ss up front about how you will show compassion so they don’t have to ask. Eg, “I will grant you any extensions you need no questions asked. I can give you alternative assignments that work for you.”

Congrats! Great honor for a great teacher! @kentplaceschool

[Ralph Pantozzi @mathillustrated]

Next thanks to Fr. John Browning for giving me my first teaching opportunity (at age 19) with a class of middle schoolers ... and for the many other lessons he taught me about being a “man for others” who listens to the ideas of others @spprep #prepforlife #PAEMST #iteachmath
