I left X almost 2 years ago. I missed the educators, but not all of the noise. Threads, and now Bluesky, have kept me going but both are still where it was on early Twitter.

Didn’t realize you had moved the chat over to here. Do you send out a topic list and let folks select like old times? Ready to join in.

I think the word "Anchor" here is perfect. Either it anchors the learning and it keeps students from drifting from the important concepts - OR - it is something that pulls the teacher down to the depths because they were forced to throw it out by admin and it is drowning their creativity.

"SEL is a process." Unpacking a process requires each person to interact with the process & question themselves about how this process affects them. Therefore, IMHO, a program must be deeply understood by ALL to be affective. Teachers must live with, and be a participant in, the process.

Same here. My Dad was one of 9 kids and my Mom had a brother. All of my uncles were great - don't get me started on a few of the aunts tho.

Same here. Project-Based has been around for 100+ years. In the last 20 years or so has it been properly organized and packaged. Whether it is Project-Based, Problem-Based, Inquiry-Based, or some other X-Based process, students benefit when it is done properly allowing teachers to be facilitators.

Thanks for listing me on here and providing a couple of folks I hadn't yet added. I hope the conversations become more common on here than they currently are on Threads and so glad people are finally leaving the cesspool over at Twitter.

What brand are you trying? When I lived in Japan I LOVED their various canned coffees in the vending machines (in the middle of nowhere) that were cold in Summer and Hot in Winter.

Hi there. Glad to see you over here. I've been off the Twitters for about a year and on Threads. I DO like Threads but I intend to have my account over there interacting with news and politics. Over here I will attempt to keep it educational and ways to help others.
