#EduSky When you do a deep dive into curriculum storyboards during the same week you start rewatching Stranger Things on Netflix... you get a bit of a weird mashup. Check out my latest blog post on curriculum units as storytelling: www.onteachingandlearning.com/blog/curricu...

#EduSky I highly recommend that you check out the #EnRoads climate simulator as a climate education teaching and learning tool. Also check out the @climateinteractive.org Climate Ambassador program: www.climateinteractive.org/en-roads-amb...

Great day yesterday with 45 teachers from Kigali area at our Climate Education Teacher Workshop. We used the @climateinteractive.org #Enroads Simulator and collaborated on climate change lessons / units / activities.

#EduSky #iteachsocialstudies #GCED #service-learning I believe in the value of service-learning and GCED. I've been trying to figure out how to do these things well for many years. However, sometimes it's good to take a open-eyed critical view: www.onteachingandlearning.com/blog/a-criti...

#climateeducation #EduSky #iteachsocialstudies I was going through some old files this weekend and came upon this project that I did with students during Covid. I thought I'd write it up and post it. Take a look: www.onteachingandlearning.com/blog/an-exam...

#EduSky #IBDP #TOK If you teach the IBDP TOK course, check out this great resource about Art. Check this out; an interview with Brian Eno. It's fantastic. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/o...

#EduSky #iteachsocialstudies podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Powerful discussion here. Compromise is a necessary part of democracy and we’ve probably lost the value of it. But what about when we compromise our values themselves? Tough conversation.

#EduSky #iteachsocialstudies #TOK #IBDP Thanks to Religion Matters for giving me the opportunity to write up some thoughts that I've been mulling around for a few years. Check it out: religionmatters.org/2025/09/19/t...

www.economist.com/finance-and-... #EduSky #EconTeachers #iteachsocialstudies Interesting read here. In what way is it helpful to think of human attention economically? Does relative scarcity apply? Should we consider it a factor of production? Can our attention be stolen?

Would make for an interesting discussion for #APpsych. Personality… but also a critical discussion of data, correlation, causation, psychometric assessment, etc: www.ft.com/content/5cd7... #EduSky #iteachsocialstudies

A simple (simplistic?) rehashing of what we know and hopefully do, but for some possibly important eye-openers. Don't only read the post but also the science behind it! #EduSky www.edutopia.org/article/stud...

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Good discussion of where things stand with climate policy. #climateaction #climateeducation

I cannot recommend this new book from John Green enough: everythingistb.com As Green argues, the fact that TB, in 2025, is still the world deadliest infectious disease, is an example of a great injustice.

#EduSky This rings true to me: www.forbes.com/sites/danfit...

#EduSky. I'm skeptical... other thoughts? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/t...

#EduSky #iteachsocialstudies AP exam score release day. How’s everyone feeling? Any thoughts on exams 2025?

This was a worthwhile listen: youtu.be/prF8trTallQ?... #climatechange #climateaction #iteachsocialstudies

#EruditePedagogy Have not looked at the original research; curious about the thoughts of others. Seems to reinforce importance of responsive teaching / formative assessment... alignment of cognitive processes aided by teacher eliciting information about how the students are conceptualizing topic.

Great stuff here for AP Human Geo unit one. #EduSky #iteachsocialstudies #sschat

I’ll definitely be checking out season three with Dylan Wiliam. #EduSky

#EduSky #globalcitizenship #GCE #SDG4 A week or so ago I posted the syllabus for the Critical Global Citizenship course I taught for the last two years. Well... here's the next installment in that series. I hope you'll give it a read: www.onteachingandlearning.com/blog/a-yes-a...

#EduSky I’m almost tempted to be optimistic about education because of this: youtu.be/TWpg1RmzAbc I think AI generated content may become so ubiquitous and annoying that the world will simply crave real human-generated content. Bring back the human-written essay, even…

Curious about some #EduSky thoughts on the below: How do you refer to the thing that is "teaching?" I'm sympathetic to the science of learning movement as it emphasizes what empirical studies can tell us about how students learn, and proven instructional practices... thread 1/4...

#EduSky I teach at an int with many USAID and UN agency families. The USAID shut down and funding freeze to the UN has been a big part of daily convo for past four months. This American Life brought their storytelling style to the story. Worth a listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

#EduSky www.edweek.org/teaching-lea... I did a 1-semester course this year with seniors called “senior seminar.” The idea was the same. What are practical life skills that will help them transition to a level of independence post high school? Budgeting, banking, personal wellness, laundry, cooking…

Yes, yes, yes!!! This put to words (without use of AI), exactly my concerns. #EduSky

I decided to expand a little on my post from yesterday. Take a read: www.onteachingandlearning.com/blog/the-tea... #EduSky

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

#climate #climateed I fear that other pressing concerns may push out discussions about climate change. Hoping not. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Thought for #EduSky. I'd love to hear what other think about the following: A key task (maybe "the" key task?) of a teacher is to "explain." But effective explanation seems to require... thread 1/3...

#EduSky Last Friday was my last day as a HS teacher for awhile. I'm taking the 25-26 school-year off from teaching to focus on completing my Ed.D. In the meantime, I'm also trying to get back into writing about teaching. Check it out: www.onteachingandlearning.com/blog/syllabu...

Update to this #APUSH post. College Board has put back up many, but not all of the videos that were taken down. The topics Failure of Reconstruction & Slavery in the British Colonies videos are still down with a "Note: This video is being updated to strengthen alignment to the AP course framework."

Any other geo teachers out there addicted to this game? apps.apple.com/us/app/geogu... Great for the cultural geo stuff in AP Hum Geo #iteachsocialstudies

@cmooreanderson.bsky.social. I just stumbled upon this figure of dialogic explaining (specific to physics teaching) and thought of you. It’s from Kulgemeyer and Riese, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/tea.21457)

Out of my province of NB.

Dear UVA: I’m disappointed. #EduSky www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Update on the College Board deleting certain AP Daily videos this week. I still wonder at the coincidence of the timing and the particular topics being re-recorded. Both AP Hum Geo and APUSH. Let’s see what the new videos reveal. #EduSky #iteachsocialstudies

Disturbed by the content scrubbing College Board seems to be doing on AP Classroom. Topics clearly listed in Course Guides now being removed from resources midyear, seemingly for fear of WH anti-DEI executive order. #EduSky #iteachsocialstudies
