All of this. Turn off the “digital whiteboards”. Make the kids put their Chromebooks and Surfaces away. Have the text in front of them, a pencil in hand.

Protecting our border is a frontline service, protecting Kiwis from online scammers is a frontline service, fighting money laundering is a frontline service. This govt are slashing frontline services to pay for unaffordable tax cuts. It’s reckless.

Technology should always be used intentionally and consciously to enhance learning, not as a crutch, keeping up with latest trends, nor to 'wow' visitors. And gamification should always start with L.O.s at their heart, rather than wizzy games with a few keywords tacked on.

This ANZAC Day we remember, honour and celebrate our ANZACS and all who have fought for our way of life. As First Nations people, as Territorians, as Australians and as allies! Thank you, it is my great honour to welcome you all to Darwin and Larrakia land! Lest we forget…
@itsF1SKY I think I dropped learning objectives because I'm doing multiple things per lesson: vocab, syntax, text study etc. So, the learning objectives are there. I'm just not writing them out or presenting them.
@JohnYoung18 @greg_ashman Amazing. Thank you for that insight. I think there would be many in education that might have similar perspectives. It’s that specific attitude that is valuable. If you didn’t have the former, then any attempt of the latter would become less effective.
@greg_ashman “Explicit instruction will not allow students to meet the expectations of the general capabilities …” excellent ….. let keep explicit instruction and ditch the general capabilities!
This is the problem with education in Australia. Brown is a prominent maths education researcher at Deakin University. What do you reckon they’ll be telling trainee teachers about explicit maths instruction there?

@tonyannett I think it's because a lot of Catholic communities have forgotten the rich traditions and culture of Catholicism, which used to serve as a bulwark against this sort of thing. We need to bring back more of our Catholic identity, we are different and we should celebrate that.
I’m noticing a trend of far-right culture warriors converting to, or identifying with, Catholicism. But they’re not abandoning their prior beliefs. They remain opposed to core tenets of Catholic social teaching - and indeed oppose everything the pope stands for. (Think about…
'Modern learning environments' and other dumb ideas: thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350254…
We need to stop talking about children as if they’re a burden, life ending, career killers. Kids are the best
If we want to really reform American education, it begins in the teacher prep programs. Few adults actually change their opinions. Converts are won in the youth. Recapture schools of ed, create alternatives, staff schools with more and more classically minded educators, and…
All of this. Turn off the “digital whiteboards”. Make the kids put their Chromebooks and Surfaces away. Have the text in front of them, a pencil in hand.
@tombennett71 There's certainly a tendency to stake out territory and defend it (and maybe sell a few books) rather than try to figure out what best practice is.
Why are informational or narrative non-fiction books so important to include in schools? They help children to make real-world connections. Non-fiction books can be used to enhance children’s experiences and interests AND introduce them to 🆕 experiences. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@effortfuleduktr Not only 'encountered them' but taught them... well, presumably. Optimally, even. Good work there. You're still a little weak on prioritizing your own ideological orientation tho. Keep at it!
I find it extremely weird that people would be upset about Grant Robertson being appointed to be vice chancellor at Otago. It's not an honourary role, it's an actual leadership role. And he's a former finance minister, which is quite a substantial qualification.
Protests and disruptions at Masses are always and everywhere wrong. I heard of one recently at a Jesuit parish. That goes if you're an LGBTQ activist protesting or a "rad trad" protesting. And it especially goes for Catholics protesting at Masses, which to me is close to…
I’m ready to be lambasted for this and I don’t even care. There was a time - AGES ago - when we went to visit my parents who (at the time) lived across the country. We were broke as a joke. Getting out to see them was really hard. But this was the only way for them to see…
Been going on since at least 1978. Dolores Durkin wrote about comprehension "instruction" really being comprehension assessment. eric.ed.gov/?id=ED162259
When are we going to start talking about the difference btwn assessing comprehension by asking a few Qs & TEACHING students to use text structures to articulate the main idea and summarize a text? One is effective in improving outcomes. The other highlights achievement gaps.
