#EduSky #csk8 Anyone have a good solution for reducing waste when using #ozobot? It's a bummer that kids have to throw a sheet out and start over if they make a mistake with the color codes, not to mention wasteful.

Maine-Northeastern was one of the best hockey games I’ve seen in a long time, maybe ever. Whitehead was unbelievable for NU. 137 shot attempts for UMaine but still needed 2OT to win. Go Black Bears!

Bar chart titled “How ‘Learning Styles’ Can Limit Student Potential.” While 70% of teachers falsely believe visual learners are smarter, a similar proportion credit hands-on learners with working harder. In response to the question “Which student is smarter?”, 70% of teachers said visual learner, and 30% said hands-on learner. In response to the question “Which student works harder?”, 31% said visual learner, and 69% said hands-on learner.

The notion that students have “learning styles” has been thoroughly debunked.

New research has uncovered another big problem with the idea: Labeling kids as “visual learners” or “hands-on learners” can reinforce harmful misconceptions about students’ strengths and weaknesses.

Enshitification of software and tech is having to pay a year subscription to a service so I can edit a project and use the save button. Who the hell puts the save button behind a paywall?

God I hate Windows 11. Never have I ever wanted to throw out a Christmas present I bought for someone else more than I want to throw this laptop out a window because Microsoft is the worst

That would be awesome! Maybe putting together something like a #csk8 or #csk5 starter pack? I do think it's useful to have an elementary-focused network and space for teachers to collaborate.
