@GoogleForEdu @GeminiApp ever wonder why radio shows were so popular? 70% of what we hear is retained, while only 10% of what we read is. a lot of that's down to audio's role in memory

Hey educators, have you heard? 🔊 With Audio Overviews in the @GeminiApp, you can turn documents, slides, and reports into podcast-style recaps to support auditory learners, make complex topics easier to explore, and take learning on the go. Give it a try: gemini.google.com

A huge thank you to @csteachersorg - DFW Chapter for the opportunity to present two PD sessions and exhibit! It was an honor to be part of such a fantastic event. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can support you in any other way. #Coding4All only positive vibes @GoCoderZ

@TsuiAllen @tombennett71 I haven't experienced much difference in behavioral issues between China and the US. Where I currently teach in the US, absenteeism is a much bigger issue than behavior.
English
Not sure @tombennett71 the issue of classroom conduct is a concern for countries like China and Singapore where education seems to be more valued and teachers are publicly respected by policy makers and individual families alike...
Tom Bennett OBE@tombennett71
From the US: student behaviour getting worse, say teachers. What’s remarkable is how international a phenomenon this is. 1. Student behaviour is a major factor in classroom culture and student success 2. Teachers report decline in student behaviour edweek.org/leadership/is-…

@TsuiAllen @csteachersorg @intelino @microbit_edu That's great! I also submitted a couple, and for those who are still interested, it looks like the deadline has been extended by a few days.
English
Hello again @ciphersoup So, I've just managed to beat the deadline I think for the call for proposals for the @csteachersorg Annual Conference. Will have to see if I get the call-back in February 2025 and maybe get to see you in Ohio in July 2025 with @intelino and @microbit_edu
CS Teachers Association (CSTA)@csteachersorg
Don't forget, proposals to present at #CSTA2025 are DUE TODAY! Whether you’ve presented at a CSTA event before, or are looking to present for the first time, we want to hear your proposal! Submit your proposal here: ow.ly/2vrR50TM49x

Looking forward to this. Will you be there?
CSTA Greater Los Angeles@CSTAGLA
Do your students like video games? Why not have them learn how to code by creating their own games! Register and join us on Oct 15th from 5-6pm for our October Chapter Meeting with special guests @mr_isaacs and @billmarsland greaterlosangeles.csteachers.org/events/csta-gl…
English
@TsuiAllen @csteachersorg Yes! I always love learning about what everyone is doing over there.
English
I really don't play the numbers game but waking up to the ♥️ from current and new @csteachersorg connections reminded me to say hello to @ciphersoup and to get my act together to establish a better British @csteachersorg connection.
Allen Tsui@TsuiAllen
Absolutely ♥️ the oversized @microbit_edu Want to make one to go on display at my school!

@UTeachCS @pscsta @csteachersorg @DigitalPromise Thanks for the adorable addition to my collection! See you next year!

The rubber ducks are multiplying! 🐤🐤🐤
We love trading ducks with @pscsta & giving away ducks to the amazing group of CS educators at #CSTA2024.
Stop by booth 113 before 3:30 pm today for a chance to win our BIG rubber duck!

Great post from @TeachBenitez on her work in elementary STEM. Too many kids want to join your robotics club? What a great problem to have! 🤖😍 smartbrief.com/original/6-ste…

@sneekylinux Are you talking micro:bits? Because I'm kind of hoping you're referring to primary computing students as 'bits'. :D
English
A1: All my lessons are fun but when the weather permits we take the bits outside😊 #caschat

@mackem_twit @guardian The article didn't suggest to do either of those things.
English
@guardian Not sure I agree with this article. Computer Programming is difficult and shouldn’t be dumbed down/ removed , simply to attract more entrants. Coding is a great career and can open up many opportunities.

@TsuiAllen @ISTEofficial @RoboticalLtd Great, I'll swing by the booth. I was able to see Hal at CUE in Palm Springs a little while ago. It'll be fun to see the new stuff.
English
2 of 2: I've been invited to @ISTEofficial #ISTELive24 by my wonderful buddies @RoboticalLtd to show and share these two new products coming to the UK in 2025. Come see what they are and how they will engage learning about physical computing at booth #1295 from Monday 24th June.
English
1 of 2: In answer to your question @ciphersoup there are so many booths and speakers to say hello to, the @ISTEofficial online conference program and app has a fully searchable feature... conference.iste.org/2024/program/s…

@TsuiAllen It didn't even occur to me that people from caschat would be coming all the way to Denver! I'm on a plane in a few hours. I'm really excited for the conference. Any CS related recommendations?

Becoming a bit of a tradition to be dining out with @MissJShields1 arriving for the @ISTEofficial #ISTELive24 pre-weekender. No famous Philly Cheesesteak stalls this year but as my brain and body are still in London time, a bacon burger was in order #teacher5oclockclub

Hey #csk8 #CSed #sensemaking friends... I'm super proud to share my next CSTA session: this time a half-day seminar: "CS That Makes Sense." JOIN US! It's gonna be hands-on CS pedagogy FUN! #CSTA2024

@birbilize @SurplusCornbre1 @nim_chimpsky_ @Soul0Engineer @leopoldasch It looks like they arbitrarily chose whatever GPT4 needs as 1 'compute'.
English
@SurplusCornbre1 @nim_chimpsky_ @Soul0Engineer @leopoldasch thats still not a quantifiable metric. how much is 1 compute? or 2 computes?
English
AGI by 2027 is strikingly plausible.
That doesn’t require believing in sci-fi; it just requires believing in straight lines on a graph.
English
@mdeutschmtl What about the breadth of understanding? How else will we fit in all the rigor?
English
Ok edu and #learningsciences folks.... we talk about DEEPER understanding. and also about HIGHER understanding.
Well, which is it? 🤨 Does the metaphor go up or down?
We need to PICK ONE and stick with it. Or at least *I* do.

Thank you again so much to everybody who joined in with tonight's #CASChat Have a wonderful long weekend when it arrives. Don't work too hard those who like @MrsMounsey have a stack of NEAs to QA. See you again in a fortnight when we'll be talking assessments and revision tools.
English
@MrMorrison_cs @caschat_uk I had the same problem, and what's more, they didn't filter mine, so I often had no idea what was blocked until the lesson had started.
English
@caschat_uk A3 #caschat more opportunities to do interdisciplinary collaboration, working with teachers across subjects.
