Any #compsci teachers who use GitHub Codespaces (or similar) for teaching? We're a Chromebook school and can't put student devices into developer mode because of reasons. Codespaces seems like a good fit for different runtimes, but I have zero experience.

Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated. We're hoping to start in fall of 2024, so I have some time to tinker.

Any #chemistry #teachers have engaging or stimulating ways to do reaction type ID other than just drilling questions?

Has anyone seen an implementation of scanning and machine evaluating multiple choice exams that is not terrible for students?

Things I don't like:

  • requiring separate answer sheet (error-prone)
  • unstapling multiple page exams for scanner
  • exam not physically corrected, harder for students to review their exam afterwards

Asking for a friend...

@modrak_m @academicchatter the closest I've seen is ZipGrade, but that stilk has a separate answer sheet as far as i know.

Here's a post on a dice game you can use for chemical formulas and naming practice. This unit is boring and I needed a way to...shake things up.

YEEEEAHHHHHHHHHH

I wrote this last night and really feeling it again today while I power through and get students to think about how to leave productive feedback on their peers' work.

Ok, I got that blog post out. I'm still trying to refine my grading system without tearing it all down. Curious if others have thoughts. Please get in touch with ideas if something resonates.

Lots of links and processing in this one.

Is there like, a teacher BBS or something?

10 years ago, teacher Twitter was extremely helpful to me. There's the hashtag here, which is nice, but are most people still on X? Or worse, Facebook?

Trying to build that side of my timeline back up. Boots appreciated along with recommendations of who to follow.

@NewScience101 @edutooters @mguhlin thank you for the suggestions.

I'm just looking for more teacher brains, not only science.
