Hello. What do you care about? https://t.co/JtKBrVRi0S

@courtney_ryanne Can’t fault that

[Michael Pershan @mpershan]

The standard assumption of curriculum designers -- that teachers have practice sources but need lesson plans -- seems totally backwards to me. Give me a truly excellent workbook and I can figure out the lessons, though I'm not sure how universal this sentiment is.

@saberikhan Was looking at the CS50x Game Development course for some ideas in that direction https://t.co/00LJ9vAVFF

@saberikhan Our main CS class is mostly intro Python + web development. W/in that class there is a lot of demand for more JS. Outside of CS classes, a lot of students are dabbling in Lua and Unity and I'm thinking about how I might be able to do more with that.

Super fun having #MSTU4029 class visit the @dwightschool Spark Lab a full decade after I took the class.

Really appreciated this short article "Teaching Stories: Small Moves" by @gbenedisgrab for highlighting a seemingly small classroom move that could have a big impact on student engagement & learning. I think we often miss these subtle types of innovation. https://t.co/oXoXKKekeb

Steven Johnson observes how “peer” and “stranger” relationships have been amplified similarly to “fan/follower” relationships by social media in “Jane Jacobs Versus The Kardashians”

@KevinAWorkman As a student in some online, asynchronous environments I’ve felt really frustrated when there was something I didn’t understand/misinterpreted. As a teacher, having some live instruction/discussion help surface the issues that students have that I didn’t anticipate.

[Matthew Moran @MatthewPMoran]

@KevinAWorkman Some synchronous time and/or your availability to meet w/ students will do a lot to clarify instructions and expectations that may puzzle them otherwise despite whatever best laid plans you have for simplicity and clarity.

Never have I ever seen this before. 3 emails in a row with the subject line "thank you". Today I am feeling appreciated. 🤗

[Andrew Piper @_akpiper]

the thing no one teaches you is that "programming" isn't really about learning a language. it's learning how to problem solve. it's far more of a conceptual problem than a linguistic one.

My vote goes to the mayoral candidate who can convert all the ice cream trucks to solar power. This is my number one issue.

@LenaAtReplit @kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Thanks! Any recs on submitting feature requests? Importing an assignment from GitHub would be great. I could see a lot of ways that sharing projects/assignments could be developed too.

[Matthew Moran @MatthewPMoran]

@kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Oh yes then check out Teams for Education https://t.co/8vtgjMdtMG

[Matthew Moran @MatthewPMoran]

@kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Replit Teams for websites was great last week when I was out sick and was able to live-follow what students were working on and leave comments. It helped me know what they had missed in the instructions I left so I could pick up easily from there when I rejoined the class.

[Matthew Moran @MatthewPMoran]

@kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit I started w/ Codepen yrs ago, but my current HS students complain about their experience w/ it in MS. I never really *got* Glitch so I've only dabbled there. I was working in Cloud Shell a lot last year, but I'm shifting to mostly Replit now since we signed up for Teams.
