What’s the opposite of scaffolding a lesson?

👉 “Read this nine-page science article, write a detailed essay on the topic it explores, and turn it in by Wednesday.”

No safety net, no parachute—they’re just left to their own devices, says Rebecca Alber.

On February 23, 1954, a group of children from Arsenal Elementary School in Pittsburgh, PA, received the first injections of the new polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk. Thanks to the vaccine, by the 21st century polio cases were reduced by 99 percent worldwide. #OnThisDay #Vaccines

Students who studied a lesson and then wrote their own questions outperformed students who simply restudied the material by *33 percent* on a follow-up test. 🌟

#EduSky #assessment

The Department of Education (DOE) does not dictate what states teach. Every state develops its own curriculum.

Remember that books are going to be harder to find. Public libraries might be something that they go after. I know that food is #1 priority, but knowledge should be in your top 5.

Please stay safe and please educate yourself.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Hello friendos

Your librarian here with the library tip

Your library might have a collection of Useful Things you can check out for personal use. Anything from tools to baking pans to garden seeds to home projectors to toys to science kits to sports equipment to music instruments. Take a look!

Who’s the apple of your eye and pumpkin to your pie? Let's raise a slice for the educators we’re thankful for this year! 🥧 Tag them to give them a (virtual) pie—you know they deserve the whole thing.

Special thanks to educator Liz G. for the gratitude table activity. #EduSky

It’s so nice to be at the stage of a lifetime of a platform when everyone mostly agrees the people running it are working hard and doing a good job. Let’s enjoy that while we can!

Hey friends, I have a podcast with my buddy Lance Vlcek where we talk movies and have an absolute blast while doing it. Would appreciate a listen. New episodes every Friday!
