@BeckyPringle Very true! What is your take on the impact of standardized testing on educators?

If we value education, we must also value educators.

@tdmercier Completely agree with this! I would love to hear about how standardized testing impacts educators.

Another reason high-stakes standardized tests are not just detrimental to our students…they’re detrimental to society in general.

@maritstiles Completely agree! Do you think promoting standardized testing also negatively impacts educators?

Doug Ford is spending millions on outdated standardized testing instead of investing in the supports students need. It's time to scrap EQAO tests and focus on helping kids recover after a very difficult 2 years. #onted #onpoli 📰➡️ ontariondp.ca/news/ndp-calls…

@ehutt1 I would love to hear your thoughts on the impact of this legislation on educators!

Likely an unpopular opinion but I'm OK w/ this call from the Biden admin. I say this having written at length about the history and use of achievement tests ehutt.web.unc.edu/wp-content/upl… & our often naive assumptions that 'releasing data' will help schools journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.310… 1/

@ETFOeducators Interesting article! I completely agree. I would love to hear your thoughts on whether you believe that standardized testing negatively impacts educators as well?

ETFO has long advocated for the end of standardized testing in #onted and continues to be active in promoting alternatives. As educators, we know that genuine learning is not standardized. Read this to understand why the union thinks EQAO should end etfovoice.ca/feature/end-eq…

This blog discusses in detail how standardized testing is not only a students’ issue but is also negatively impacting teacher morale 🧑‍🏫 teachertaskforce.org/blog/how-globa….

The world’s first flying car has been approved with pre-orders now available for $300,000.

This is a great article discussing some additional points to the problem of standardized testing that I identified last week! #EM203Research ascd.org/blogs/15-reaso…

This is a good opportunity to question whether standardized testing is outdated in this generation. New methods of teaching and testing may help with students’ learning. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

@em203rmistry Since your topic is issues with schooling, it would be worthwhile to explore the topic of inadequate funding! #EM203problems

@EM203NFeng Since your mind map focuses on issues in education, the issue of standardized testing is worth exploring in addition to the ones you have! #EM203problems

@EM203jskinner Since you are looking at factors that contribute to the decline in education quality, it would be worthwhile to explore funding cuts to public education! #EM203problems

Thoughts on my first three classes so far...... Learning the tango was an experience, but also has been interesting to see the different learning styles and how they impact engagement. Excited for what's next! #EM203Robin

@EM203JL Also just learned to do one! It was definitely an experience but always feels good to learn new skills. 🙂

Finally learned to solve a sudoku puzzle. Definitely took me some time but its done! #EM203Robin

@EM203raeesareza Hi Raeesa! I also attempted a Sudoku puzzle but since I’ve never solved one before, I chose to do a fairly easy one. Excited to see what more is to come!

So far, I’m enjoying learning about methods of learning and how we learn in a digital age. I just attempted to do a difficult Sudoku which was challenging but fun! #EM203Robin

@EM203Cole Hi Cole, I agree with you! Reading about learning theories has been very interesting and information like this is often overlooked in academic settings but can be very helpful for students academically and in their careers.

EM203 examines how emerging and new technology impacts learning. During the course, we will learn about some of these emerging technological changes and how to utilize 21st-century learning skills. #EM203Robin

@EM203ntivirikin Hi Natalia, good to hear that you’ve been enjoying the class so far. I chose to learn how to solve a Sudoku puzzle but Tango would have been a close second!

@EM203ARamirez Hi Ana! I agree with you, I have not been the most active Twitter user prior to this class but have been enjoying tweeting and learning other functions so far.

Just learned how to solve a Sudoku puzzle by watching a WikiHow YouTube video! Since I previously didn’t know how to solve one, I chose to complete an easy one. youtu.be/XYolXbSPSv0 #EM203Robin
