My vacation start Friday, bit we changed travel plans
Apparently it is "change everyone/s title to something that sounds more important" week.
In my experience, once educators understand students and how to put them at the center of teaching, they changes their practices in an irreversible way.
Meaningful feedback from some lessons can be automated, for other lessons it cannot. If you lessons don’t include both, you are missing the point.
The fact a large part of society has been convinced to abandon science with devastating effects is going to be what the early 21st century is known for.
I manage an LMS. Half of the requests are to get more notifications half are to get fewer. The rest follow the how-to to set their own notification preferences.

@garyackerman If following is beneath you, then leading is above you.
If you aren’t ready to do the work… the real work… the stuff you are asking others to do, then you are not ready to lead.
Yes, I am more qualified than you to comment on some things. Decades of study and experience qualify me. I may not be correct, but I can justify my stances. And I know where my expertise ends.
“We came from monkeys” is proof your comments about biology do not warrant attention.
Answers to math, physics, chemistry tests really don’t matter. It’s what happens in nature that matters.
I’m an atheist working in a public institution. One new colleague has taken to saying “god bless you” at the end of each conversation. It really annoys me.
Some things need to be repeated: “Personal incredulity is not evidence.”
Can we start calling it what it is? Drivel is my proposed word.
Is it real or is it paradolia?
