Such a happy #pypx group today. They got to connect with my friend @billybillyedu’s PYPx group in Japan who has the same topic as them! What an experience. #intl_Chadwick #FISsharks – at Yeonsu-gu, Republic of Korea

"I miss everyone." ❤️Overheard during my 9-yr-old daughter's first online meet and greet with 10 of her classmates, and her teacher, whom she misses greatly. Her smile seeing them was priceless. #kidsneedkids #ishcmcib @billybillyedu #remotelearning

Teacher @Catlin_Tucker saw that giving #feedback at the end of an assignment was too late to impact student work. She switched her technique to focus more on the process instead of the product. She's now training other teachers to do the same. #edchat ow.ly/dlzY50xey6g

Too often, feedback is given at the end of a project or test. But what if students had more opportunities to receive feedback while they're doing the work so they can improve their learning? Author...

In case u still believe the jury is out on reading logs. Guiding question, "Do I, as an adult, keep a rdg log of books I read 4 pleasure?" Also ask, "What am I assessing?", "Why am I assessing this?, "Does it bring me assessing this?" #pypchat #edchat #isedchat #ishcmcIB

Small study: just 2 months of being made to keep a reading log lowers young kids' interest in reading - vs. what it was before & also vs. that of kids who could choose whether to keep a log: is.gd/l3l5Tc (How much more damage from years of mandatory logs, one wonders?)

Narrative feedback is far more motivating than grades, points, carrots or stickers. You'd be surprised at how brutally honest and self-aware learners can be if you empower them write their own reports... without grades. #ishcmcStudio5

Can everyone be successful? My new essay, just published in the NY Times, asks why excellence, in education & elsewhere, is so often construed a scarce commodity: is.gd/MUKozy (Please ignore the Times’s cringe-worthy headline)
