One of the most pleasing moments of being a prof is when your students produce work that makes you sit back and go, "Wow! That's a great piece of writing. They should try and get that published 👏👏👏."

今月から第12シーズンが始まります。扱う文献は以下の通りです。 Thomas, G. P., & Boon, H. J. (Eds.). (2023). Challenges in Science Education: Global Perspectives for the Future. Springer Nature.

Happy to announce that @Metacog01 and I have had our work published in @PhysRevPER . Thank you to @Research_MB for supporting this work with a #NewInvestigatorGrant. https://t.co/RSxxaZxoMT

In the end, I suppose, unless things in universities change dramatically, I'll still be the arbiter of what is quality student work or not. If the wrong questions are asked, the wrong answers will be constructed. Looking forward to fall teaching 😁

and what questions you can ask depends on what you know already. Knowledge is still so important; poor questions-poor answers & you still need knowledge to establish veracity, authority and accuracy of an answer...that is what I think will distinguish students' from each other.

I've been thinking about how to 'manage' AI with my courses. I remember when powerful calculators came into classrooms. Teachers were worried then too. The same with computers etc. But there is one thing that holds true with using tech...you need to know what questions to ask...

@A_Bellocchi @ArnauAmat Thank you so much! It's truly an honor to be in print. Working on this book chapter with such talented coauthors and editors like you has been an incredible journey! @Metacog01 @BoonHJ2016

A large part of finding personal peace is finding tolerance for diversity..and knowing that others have different views and orientations to you..about many things. I don't understand the hate we observe increasingly every day. You don't have to be right or agree about everything.

My persisting thoughts on homework. #homework #teaching #metacognition #wholepersoneducation How much homework is too much? Folio

Today's @RogersHelps outage has me wondering if it's a good idea to have a 'cheapie' back-up plan with another provider. I predict 100% this outage will not be Rogers' last, and being prepared is important. I'm grateful to still have a landline, and that it's not with them. 😁

Key q to ask anyone you might vote for: "If you win, are you prepared to listen to and work with the people you beat?" If that person thinks the other party has zero to offer then their arrogance is something to be very worried about. Better when we work together. #ableg #abpoli

The real reason you don't provide daily COVID case numbers is to deprive people of information. Accurate information empowers thought, can spur questions, raise challenges to policy, and the last thing this AB government wants is ANY questions...about anything! #ableg #abpoli

This is v sad news. 😥

'nuff said. 🤨

💗💗💗

Until a few days ago I seriously contemplated spotify...now, nope. You can't invite both sides of a scientific issue to your podcast, or even a booze up at the local pub, when one side spruikes non-science nonsense and wears tin foil helmets. 😎

I have a new favorite football (soccer) player. @SamAdekugbe Just wonderful! Marvellous contribution. Oh Canada... 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Funny thing: If all the people protesting in Ottawa had just stayed home, got vaccinated, wore a mask in public, & reduced social interaction, the mandates would've all been over sooner. Now we have another super-spreader event inevitably leading to the same sad consequences. 😟

When any person in government, or anywhere for that matter, but especially in this government in Alberta, irrespective of their stripe, with little if any background in science, starts any sentence with, "The science is in..." be worried. Be very, very worried! #ableg #abpoli

Saying that something is 'true' does not make it 'true.'
