🎬 | A new study has found most of the plastic debris on beaches in the Seychelles and nearby islands comes from Indonesia, India, and Sri Lanka. This animation shows the huge amounts of debris that are washing up on the remote islands. Key findings ⬇️

@MicrobialLife these are some great ideas. Your microbe assessment sounds brilliant! I love videos/presentations and team tasks, although they have to be arranged carefully so the students don't hate on "group projects"
It's an exciting time really. We need to drastically reinvent our assessment practice

@MicrobialLife super interesting! I am having these thoughts internally. Trying to think of ways to authentically assess my students understanding

@binarythis @academicchatter I see you.
Coming back to work is really hard. I've been back 3 days a week for a year. I hate to say it but it's not easier yet

To my students,
I'm sorry.
Learning new stuff is really hard and I definitely don't give you enough credit for the journey you're on.
Sincerely,
The science brained academic taking a theory of Teaching and Learning class

Our 9-year-old son came home from school & said that some boys at recess offered to play with him if 'he hugged & kissed a girl.'

He responded to them, "No, that's inappropriate," & told us he didn't mind not being able to play with those boys after all. Afterwards his teacher shared she was happy he stood up to peer pressure.

Y'all—it's never too early to teach boys about consent and boundaries. Have the conversation. Then have it again. And again. Boys will be the boys we teach them to be.
