Did You Know? When students write a short summary about a challenging text in their own words, they vastly outperform students who read a summary of the text provided by a teacher. In a 2021 study, students who wrote short explanations after learning about greenhouse gases outscored their peers by 49% on a follow-up test of comprehension. To boost engagement, you can also ask them to write a tweet, text, or a brief television script. Source: Lawson and Mayer, 2021

Thank you, Stu.

Thank you.

Thank you Alfonso for sharing. It’s very helpful.

Exactly! We are all learners and teachers in this room. 🙌🏼

They know more than me. 🤓

💯
The future is already here.

Do you have this for IG? What data is collected there? Thx!

Good morning Tisha. On scale of 1-5, I’m a 2. I have so much to learn, yet I’m diving into each. I’m curious and learning about them all.

Hey #eduSky add this to your “Feeds” and move to the top so you can quickly find others in this space! It’s a great way to connect with other educators here!

How do I connect and interact with people other than the people I am following? I only see their postings.

Well that explains our last razors. I was hoping it was a bad batch. 👎🏼

I only cut myself a few times a week, so you should be fine. 😉

Agree… unbelievably expensive. We use the Dollar Shave Club. There’s 5 of us needing razors, so it’s worth it.
