@mhoye This is just a beautiful explanatory piece. Straightforward to design labs to explore this in class - like middle school physical science even, (I wonder if you can even see this with a super-cheap, diffraction-grating spectroscope? Probably a USB spectrometer would be better if there's a little budget)
Episode 251One of the most consistent findings in reading research is this: how much you know determines how far you can go as a reader.In this episode, we’re joined by Kelly Gallagher, author of To Read Stuff, You Have to Know Stuff, to explore why knowledge is central to comprehension and what that means for classroom instruction.Kelly helps us rethink the long-standing emphasis on isolated reading strategies and instead focus on building knowledge at multiple levels: word, sentence, passage, article, and book.Kelly offers clear examples and practical thinking that will help you reflect on how knowledge is built over time and how we can design instruction that goes deeper, not just wider.RESOURCESTo Read Stuff, You Have To Know Stuff by Kelly GallagherKelly Gallagher’s Article of the Week Looking for more literacy support and resources?

Foster child gets his fairytale ending when math teacher adopts him
Have any math teachers on here used minecraft (eg arrows to teach about parabolas. You can use command blocks to make the parabolas physical arcs when you fire. Or redstone for logic?)
There is also something called "educational minecraft" apparently.
Thought I might mess around with it this summer, but don't know if it's worth the time or if I'm just making up an excuse for me to play video games. (very possible)
Curious what it was like *in a class*
