Hello. What do you care about? ift.tt/2isgLSF

@courtney_ryanne Can’t fault that

The standard assumption of curriculum designers -- that teachers have practice sources but need lesson plans -- seems totally backwards to me. Give me a truly excellent workbook and I can figure out the lessons, though I'm not sure how universal this sentiment is.

@CultureGrrl @nyphil We found it from searching others’ posts about @nyphil it’s from Dvorak Slavonic Dances open.spotify.com/track/2UUKO7m1…

What was the last encore @NYPhil this afternoon? A famous piece, but I can’t name it.

@saberikhan Was looking at the CS50x Game Development course for some ideas in that direction cs50.harvard.edu/games/2018/

@saberikhan Our main CS class is mostly intro Python + web development. W/in that class there is a lot of demand for more JS. Outside of CS classes, a lot of students are dabbling in Lua and Unity and I'm thinking about how I might be able to do more with that.

Super fun having #MSTU4029 class visit the @dwightschool Spark Lab a full decade after I took the class.

Our next session in our AI Conversations on innovation takes place this Friday. Meet Actionable Innovator @BeaLeiderman and join us to learn more about how the SCRUM framework can improve teamwork in your class or school. #edtech #innovation #education eventbrite.com/e/actionable-i…

Really appreciated this short article "Teaching Stories: Small Moves" by @gbenedisgrab for highlighting a seemingly small classroom move that could have a big impact on student engagement & learning. I think we often miss these subtle types of innovation. link.medium.com/71zHAAuZIkb

Steven Johnson observes how “peer” and “stranger” relationships have been amplified similarly to “fan/follower” relationships by social media in “Jane Jacobs Versus The Kardashians” stevenberlinjohnson.com/jane-jacobs-ve…

@KevinAWorkman As a student in some online, asynchronous environments I’ve felt really frustrated when there was something I didn’t understand/misinterpreted. As a teacher, having some live instruction/discussion help surface the issues that students have that I didn’t anticipate.

@KevinAWorkman Some synchronous time and/or your availability to meet w/ students will do a lot to clarify instructions and expectations that may puzzle them otherwise despite whatever best laid plans you have for simplicity and clarity.

I'm teaching an undergrad intro to web dev course starting in January! It's 100% remote, but it's up to me what that means. I need to fill 4 hours per week with class, or videos, or labs, or a combination. Teachers / students: any advice?

Never have I ever seen this before. 3 emails in a row with the subject line "thank you". Today I am feeling appreciated. 🤗

the thing no one teaches you is that "programming" isn't really about learning a language. it's learning how to problem solve. it's far more of a conceptual problem than a linguistic one.

My vote goes to the mayoral candidate who can convert all the ice cream trucks to solar power. This is my number one issue.

@LenaAtReplit @kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Thanks! Any recs on submitting feature requests? Importing an assignment from GitHub would be great. I could see a lot of ways that sharing projects/assignments could be developed too.

@MatthewPMoran @kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Oh, I love hearing how teachers use our different features. Glad to hear annotation saved the day!

@kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Oh yes then check out Teams for Education replit.com/site/teams-for…

@MatthewPMoran @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Ohh, cool! I hadn't really heard of Replit Teams -- I will check that out!

@kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit Replit Teams for websites was great last week when I was out sick and was able to live-follow what students were working on and leave comments. It helped me know what they had missed in the instructions I left so I could pick up easily from there when I rejoined the class.

@kellylougheed @MathyMcMatherso @Replit I started w/ Codepen yrs ago, but my current HS students complain about their experience w/ it in MS. I never really *got* Glitch so I've only dabbled there. I was working in Cloud Shell a lot last year, but I'm shifting to mostly Replit now since we signed up for Teams.
