Hello - just a very quick #Introduction (or reintroduction) as I figure out how to move instances. I gave up the bird last November in one of the migrations and haven't looked back since. I genuinely prefer this calmer, more nuanced, more enjoyable type of social media. I am a Secondary school English teacher in the UK. Keen to connect with #Education people, #Teachers #EduTooter and the like, but I also love #Food #Wine #Cheese #TaylorSwift and #WhiteTailedEagles

From @cfiesler : "I'm trying to collect questions about AI (especially ethical/social implications) from kids and teenagers that I can answer." https://hci.social/@cfiesler/110974606994640626 #edtech #edutooter @edutooters #teaching

It's back-to-#school time! Woo-hoo!

Could novice programmers write clean code from the start?

Clean code is not just for professional developers. Especially beginners quickly lose track of their code. Clean code would help against that. I think we can explain clean code principles to absolute programming beginners, for example the DRY principle:

Important look at the "comprehension" side of the Science of #Reading equation. If there is a science to teaching comprehension, what is it? This author argues that it is NOT decontextualized, discrete, explicit instruction of skills--the kind that has exploded in the years since No Child Left Behind--but, rather, a deeply contextualized linking of vocabulary with content knowledge, as students learn about the world around them.

Wishing every educator starting school tomorrow a great school year.

Have a great year if this is your first year or your 25th year.
We have had some challenging and painful years, but it's educators that will make the difference, and despite all the systemic inequities in schools public education still offers the greatest possibilities for a better world!

Government has backed out on their promise of making NSW teachers the highest paid in Australia. New graduates would have seen an 11% increase to pay.
