#teaching with technology

I’m not even an anti-internet person like I love the internet, I just get so frustrated with the passive way people have become accustomed to using it now. not actively seeking things out or engaging with communities, just turning their brain off & letting the algorithm feed them whatever it wants. & I can’t help but feel like that’s partially to blame for the current state of things (anti-“woke” backlash is easier to digest if you turn your brain off when online)

How to Keep Children Interested in Learning through Interactive Methods

There are many ways you can teach children, but if you really want them to take an active part in learning rather than just memorising facts or numbers, then the best way to do this is through interactive learning. Interactive lessons eliminate one-way communication or individualised instruction in favour of engaging students in the material. These lessons allow students to understand what they…

Who won teacher of the year?

If we are talking about LMK Highschool Teacher AU?

Mr Sun (Wukong). By a long shot. He wins the hypothetical award every year. Macaque of course always comes bitter second.

And now I'll use this ask as an excuse to introduce two more teachers to the AU

Say what you will about the DC timeline but we all know the truth, Jason Todd uses AO3 and has an account despite not understanding these new fangle technological advancements (hes fucking with Tim he understands what cookies are, it pisses off Tim more than anything else Jason has done)

Lilia: *sighs* Malleus got left out of another event. Hopefully he feels better soon.

Yuri: Ya’know I’ve been wondering something; You said Malleus has trouble with punctuality because he’s a fae right?

Lilia: That’s right, the passage of time for fae is different then humans. Why do you ask?

Yuri: well has anyone thought about just…getting him an alarm clock or something?

Yuri: Diaval is good with technology, right? I’m sure he could find some way to program it to upcoming events. It could even be portable!

Lilia:

Lilia: how did none of us think of that??

I don't know how to describe the phenomenon of the younger generation understanding technology less than people in their late 20s-40s. However, the more time I teach, especially online classes, the more this seems to be true because the younger generation didn't have to learn to troubleshoot as much.

I'm feeling very old man yells at cloud about this, but seriously? Can students just... play around with the technology their teacher tells them to use for like 5 minutes? That's literally all the time it should take to figure out how to properly share a file with me so that I can actually view it. (If I can make the technology work, so can you!)

Nothing like sitting in a pitch-black hallway full of high school students during a tornado drill and watching them revert to the archaic entertainments of shadow hand puppets

i was making a silly post about the book i’m reading and it got out of control. long text down there

i’m a genetics at heart and i really like to do that annoying science thing where i try to find a logical explanation to everything. yet i was reading my book (about genes) and the author got to a part where he discusses the genetic link of gender identity and identity in general and for some reason i dont like it? i mean, i agree. everything is genetically determined (or influenced). and it makes lot of sense right? the cascade of molecular signals orchestrated by genes is so large and complex we barely begin to understand it. so it makes sense to think that a change in some part of that chain may cause my genetically female genes to fail to signal binary biological femaleness causing me to not have the identity or physiology of a female. but the thought of it makes me feel weird?.

i have always been really curious about the biochemistry and genetics of transgender people but i have never actually made any research on it partially because i feel scared that by finding any “true” biological reason behind my identity it will be less valid or something.

genetics are so weird because they are us and they are everything. they are inescapable and all controlling (almost? kinda), yet they are so abstract and we are so limited by our ability to visualize and understand them that we end up having to talk about them in political, moral amd cultural terms. like gender and identity and illness or disability or violence. but those things are so marked by our interaction with our environment and our need to categorize things that we end up taking a lot of unrelated meaning with them when we try to understand something so uninterested in us like genes and anatomy. it’s weird. but it’s not like we can do much to help it can we. am i making any sense now? i love genetics but god they are a difficult area to understand in not science terms. and the history of genetics is so so messy and complicated and cruel at times. and we haven’t even started to play with genes yet. i’m happy gene therapy and transgenics and crisp technology are so regulated. i don’t know how much longer we can week ignoring them for though.
