I don’t even have the words for not having any words. We stick together. Breathe. Keep the patient comfortable. Feel like shit. Take care of the poor, each other and ourselves. Look around for all the light that remains and can never go out. Sending you all a big quavering hug.
Teachers - this is an INCREDIBLE opportunity!

If you don’t like this picture, you’ll like it even less if Trump gets back in the White House and has a chance to hand pick more Supreme Court justices.

Oh no! Learning for Justice is an invaluable resource -- reaching and supporting so many educators at a time when K-12 teachers need MORE, not less support to teach truthfully in the face of anti-history & anti-LGBTQ+ laws and book bans.

ICYMI: we built a Flip importer. Access it at padlet.com/flip-importer
Thanks for testing it. We learn and improve with every import. There are fewer bugs now.
The largest import so far was over 3GB and took less than 3 minutes to upload.

7 years ago I wrote my first blog post about Flipgrid
Today I'm sharing a post on my new blog with alternatives to a tool that will be missed
If you're not ready for alternatives yet that's ok💚
However, if you're looking then these are some good ones

The @IRCSchools Board voted against the committee decision to retain @AlanGratz’s Ban This Book. They banned a book because it mentions other banned books.
It’s truly absurd.
Feels like a reasonable option. Still hunting for more. Maybe vidcast?
We don't have all the Flip features. We don't have their cool AR camera. We don't have video comments. Video comments will be out in a week or so. AR camera may take time.
But we do have the same easy video recording, collaboration, and LMS integrations.

Flip (previously Flipgrid) is being discontinued. The site and apps will not be available after September 2024. 😢
Padlet is an alternative. Students can add videos of themselves to a post using Padlet's Video Booth.

Okay, friends. What options are like Flip for those of us who aren't part of the Teams ecosystem? (This one hurts.)
The Flip Camera is moving to Teams for Education, we are retiring our web and mobile apps. Now, you can just click on Assignments inside Teams, and select video from the dropdown menu to send and receive video assignments with your students. Learn more on Flip.com.

If you want people to listen to your opinions, try presenting them as advice.
Opinions are easy to discount because they sound self-centered: "I'm expressing myself."
Advice is more trustworthy because it's other-focused. It conveys an intent to help: "Here's an idea for you."

Too many educators, intimidated by the magic phrase "science of learning," swallow dubious claims by proponents of traditional teaching. My new blog post looks at one example: "Cognitive Load Theory: An Unpersuasive Attempt to Justify Direct Instruction" - alfiekohn.org/blogs/clt/

The learning management system market is expected to grow to $43.7 billion by 2027. The anti-plagiarism software market to $4.8 billion. The remote proctoring solution market to $1.7 billion.
What if we spent all of that on preparing teachers and supporting struggling students?
