Let’s discuss the quadratic equation? Like why teach it when you will ever use it

[Zearn @zearned]

A noisy classroom is a learning one! One popular strategy to get your kids talking is the “turn and talk” method. 🗣Your Ss turn to a classmate near them and discuss the problem or concept.

What strategies do you use to encourage meaningful classroom discussion?

why? online can be much more engaging if it is done right - which it rarely is

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

Overwhelming majority of survey respondents were only interested in campus-based study, with just 10 per cent prepared to countenance fully online learning

But do they know how to teach online? I did build some courses for them years ago but I doubt they learned how to anything from that

US news isn’t interested in education. They know they are doing a.bad thing but money

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

"It's designed for the wealthy and wealthy schools, and that’s always been what it’s about,” said one former president.

unfortunately no; VCs are not education experts

[Phil Baty @Phil_Baty]

Is the physical lecture dead? No, say a group of VCs I'm listening to right now: students value "shared listening", even in a traditional lecture format, and turning up to physical lectures gives the "excuse" to stay on campus for a club or society etc.. #THEWAS

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

When academics do tackle curricular reform, they often focus on improving the structure of a particular course rather than on altering the path to a degree.

[Donald Clark @DonaldClark]

Even Mary Beard, Prof of Classics at Cambridge, in 'Confronting Classics' wrote "many of the arguments now used to justify the learning of Latin are now perilous...honestly if you want to learn French, you'd be better off doing that, not starting with some other language first"
