@neiltyson Teacher here, big fan of yours btw. I have yet, in my career, ever hear a teacher say that. Granted I work with phenomenal teachers, I won't say it doesn't happen elsewhere. Also, just about every teacher I know already thinks they suck at their job.

Some educators who are quick to say, "These students just don't want to learn" should instead say to themselves, "Maybe I suck at my job."

@ChelseaAnne_S There is no shame in catching it. You did your best, and you have done the responsible thing by informing the daycare. All my best to you and your family.

@msonenote I want recordable pages, a built in screen recorder in one note so I can record a lesson for students in the class notebook without having to go to PowerPoint, host in on stream and then embed in the notebook.

What is your dream OneNote integration?

Seems like a nice feature!

Almost ready to get back to work, but an every day reminder that your #mindset matters is what will greet the students, also a math test, but that's why Twitter name is what it is.

@mr_cottam @mrsrduran @b_l_stone @jodileefleming @ReeseTrac @JkKersten @MrshinrichsT @mrskingma @msasully @AnneMarieCrane4 I'd personally go with presenting a contextual real life situation where rounding is required, such as money. Then give the Ss the time to debate and argue the merits of different answers and strategies before discussing our rules.

A big shout out to @marthajez and the team at both @FCLEdu and @MicrosoftEduCA I've been working with a loaner surface for a while, can't wait to break this bad boy in! #MIEexpert #edtech #surfacemaster

@mr_cottam @MrshinrichsT @TaraMcFarling1 @MarcCobb10 @JkKersten Context is needed to answer the questions. I may not round it if accuracy is required, or round if not. Rounding to the hundredths is usually an acceptable margin of inaccuracy, but then again sometimes not. #context

@mr_cottam @mrsrduran @ReeseTrac @RothwellMrs @JkKersten @L_degraaf There are too many to list in a tweet, so I'll start with just one, you have to know the math and be competent with it.

@mr_cottam @MarkChubb3 @MatthewOldridge In comparison to the Pythagorean theorem they're quite young. Not my #1 source, that's Van de Walle, but they are a good addition. Good teaching doesn't age, and new isn't always better.

@mr_cottam @mrsrduran We haven't analyzed election platforms yet. We'll be doing that based on their role card/life to apply context to the platforms.

Alright @mr_cottam @mrsrduran what topic are we talking about in math right now? #math #granderierms

@mr_cottam @mrsrduran Math season. Not weather season.

@mr_cottam @mrsrduran @MrshinrichsT @jodileefleming @GEDSB @MajorBallachey They're a good read. Another resource that doesn't need to be read cover to cover but can be selectively read for information as you need it, once you've familiarized yourself with the layout and purpose.

@mr_cottam @mrsrduran If you want to put it in the context of modern educational blogs, then yes. That being said, there is no confusion as to its intent. Assessment and evaluation both tell you where a student is, what you do with the information is the teaching aspect. Do you move on or not.

@mr_cottam Semantics: assessment by definition is the evaluation or estimation of the nature, quality, or ability of someone or something. What the post also leaves off is that is a subset of our students who are motivated by marks.

@mr_cottam @MarkChubb3 @MrshinrichsT Summative vs formative. The purpose of your assessment, is what drives how you use it. I hate figure skating.
