@aaron_p_edwards I prefer a tweet.

@QuincyAvery Why not?

@RevRayCistman Guys: before you comment, slow your roll...this is a satire account. Look at the name. Hugh Janus is his associate pastor. Marsha Mellow is the youth pastor.

@FromTeachrsDesk What definition of CRT are you assuming?

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@nickgillespie I mean, when I was a young'un, a hernia check was a standard part of the yearly athlete physical. Its where the "turn and cough" one liner came from. Lots of jokes about that moment of the physical. So yeah, we got our junk checked.

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@ajjuliani Yes. But the prob is scaling. Doing it 1x as an assessment in a sm class is doable.. Doing it repeatedly w a stdt load anything north of 50 or 60 is another. I've got 6 classes of abt 30. Can do once, but quickly gets out of control if u want it done repeatedly. Time is lmtd

@Dbirdfatty @MrDanielBuck I've done this sort of thing in past years. The first one or two are bombs like you say, but after about a month they get the message and reading improves some.

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@Dbirdfatty @MrDanielBuck Perhaps....but if you held the line, after another few quizzes, you might have 12 or 15 out of 20, and that's a real improvement. You'll never bat a thousand, but if you hold them accountable with a grade consequence, it will make a diff over time.

@BakerBarbell 😬
Yea....
I learned to avoid CF style programming the hard way.
I'm not one of those guys that continuously dunks on CF--its useful in certain situations...but not the best for your average high school athlete. Took me a year or two of CF programming to see that.

@jenteach13 Ya gotta have different norms and rules regarding screens, guys.

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@jenteach13 3/ Some of the students in these online credit recovery classes pay 20 bucks for an AI bot that does the work for them.

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@jenteach13 2/ This incentivizes skipping class, bc they know they can make it up at the last minute, and the make up is a lot easier than just coming to class consistently and doing the work the first time. Each day I have about 25-30% of my students absent....

@drantbradley For me it is primarily doctrinal. Not many Christian colleges that actually teach from a high view of scrip. Plenty do on paper, maybe, but the reality on the ground is diff. Don't want my kids being taught heresy/falsehood under the guise of Christ-likeness.

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@drantbradley ....maybe we got our act together in the 80s and 90s after Vietnam, only to fall off the wagon in the last 10-20 years again. I don't know, just spitballing here.

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@drantbradley Good point, I reckon. Were I alive then, I might say the same thing. Maybe it proceeds in cycles, I don't know. All I'm saying is that its hard for me to ignore what my eyes are seeing. I can't pretend I don't see it and continue to recommend the military to the young.

@n_hold 3/..that now w/ handwritten essays, you almost totally lose your ability to catch and prove AI usage. Also, at least when it comes to long research papers, editing and revising is much harder to do.

I'm torn.

[The Daniel Collaborative @TheDanielCollab]

@n_hold 2/ ....its the best tool I've seen. Also: I've pivoted 2 assigning 100% handwritten essays, only worked on in class, can't take it home with you.

That definitely cuts down on AI use, but a few students still sneak it in. There are downsides to this policy though. One is...
