Here’s what I love about Bluesky.
There is a whole world of educators that I don’t know yet that are doing the fucking work.
Every time I log in someone I don’t know is sharing something.
This is special. This is better.
Every other app right now seems like an echo chamber.
Thank you all.

This is a problem for the field of education research.
Tweeting about politics undermines scientists’ credibility in the eyes of the public — gotta leave the takes to trained professionals.

Why Teachers Should Grade Less Frequently
Excessive grading stresses out kids and teachers, stifles innovative teaching, and fails to deliver as a true measurement of learning.
