TCEA is coming up fast. It will be an amazing opportunity to reconnect and discover new ideas. I am happy to share that I too will be contributing to this learning community.

I hope to see you all.

@mdroush That's already happening.

@WallStreetApes I kave breaking news for you. 15 year students couldn't do that 15 years ago, either. Then and now, they have to be taught skills.

@rodjnaquin We are literally paying parents not to educate our society's children. You have to ask yourself, who benefits when a polulation enters adulthood uneducated? And do we really want that as a society?

@BlackAndMildOne @AzPetrich We have money for war, walls, shock gloves, and golden statues.

I used to be a huge fan of exit tickets. They were a core part of my lessons, but I've fallen out of love with them.

I often find that they're time-consuming to create (and print), and don't provide the reactive, instant feedback that students actually need.

I find that there are far better alternatives, that we need to use within the body of the lesson, including MCQs, hinge questions and and live marking.

Who's also moved away from exit tickets?

@ManningTechTalk What a beautiful journey of strength finding happiness. Wishing this young couple the best.

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

@MrsMoricz Preservatives in food may also be the culprit.

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

Remember Blabberize? ChatterPix?

Mike Davola made his own version where you add a mouth and voice recording to any picture to make it talk. No ads, everything stays on your device.

@hicasamadim I got 27. But given all the crazy answers here, I'm wondering if I missed something. Did anyone get that number?

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

@albertocedben @OrevaZSN People also dislike the loud data centers that are noisy and are not self_reliant (electricity and water). Not to mention human displacement. Ironically, I use AI daily for my job. I wish there was a better balance.

@PhysicsHawk @shirky17 Relationships, plus protocols are the real magic sauce. But only if behavior across the entire campus is stable. Then, it's everyone for yourself.

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

@TheQueenOfNo @jlpoober Teachers are only paid 10 months, so technically they are not employed over the summer. Many work second jobs to fill that gap.

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

@amandamagnus2 @JD_P805 @luxemiaa LOL

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

@Vizzpat @MmisterNobody @CptNash2 Agreed.

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

@MmisterNobody Both of my children preferred technology over paper in high school. They could ignore class disruptions, pause /replay instruction, and no more heavy backpacks. Both are in college now. No one uses paper for anything.

[Fergy (Tamara Ferguson) @Fergy4Tech]

@SciInTheMaking While I appreciate the sentiment here, we must look at the whole picture. Technology, when done CORRECTLY, amplifies the influence of the teacher, makes learning accessible beyond traditional constraints, & deepens connections to abstract ideas with animations and models.
