I’m curious. Does social media (as it is today) meaningfully add to your thinking and work? Does it, for you, consistently give more than it takes?

Logged on for the first time in a year and immediately saw a thread naming the following ‘worthless trends’ or ‘barriers to academics’: SEL Learning spaces ‘Anything’ trauma-informed Team-building Replacing letter grades Social justice PBL What happened while I was gone? 😂
5. One of the real potentials of something like ChatGTP is that it will emphasize ‘weak’ assignments. If ChatGTP makes it simple for students to excel (or cheat) in a classroom—to cut through an assignment like a hot knife through butter, we could question the assignment.
4. This will burden already overworked—and in many cases, disgruntled—educators already fatigued, already lacking the time to respond to these changes or the autonomy to integrate similar ‘innovations’ in a substantive way.
Adults arguing with adults under the pretense that they’re advocating for children is disappointing and, unfortunately, a common refrain.
@dperkinsed Well said (though they are not mutually exclusive).
@elonmusk You’re assuming people can thinking rationally and critically, Elon. And that those who can, want to and tend to and have the humility to correct themselves when they don’t.
They’re not mutually exclusive and each depend on the other, of course. But if you had to choose one, I’d take a wiling tendency to consistently think critically over a basic ability to do so.
The tendency to think critically > the ‘ability’ to think critically
@GhostedPepper @dperkinsed @DrJBhattacharya @anya1anya @alexanderrusso The energy and bandwidth used here to analyze, argue for and against, and take sides—all under the guise of honest inquiry into ‘truth’—is disappointing. This is not about children, learning, human improvement, knowledge, etc., but rather posturing, politics, and gotchas.

There are few things more deserving of scrutiny than the quality of your own thoughts and observations.
@raelee_lynn @MindShiftKQED @TeachThought I’d write this differently now, of course. This was years ago and while many of the points remain, it needs updating. 🙂
@OnceToTheBowl @TeachThought Now *that* is a wonderful metric of ‘good teaching.’
@drdouggreen @teemul @YoukiTerada @TEDxUWLaCrosse @Rdene915 @Getting_Smart @TeachThought @collegevine Oh, no. Not the learning style fight again. 🥳
