Tucker Carlson: "Biden just reclassified the Kennedy documents sixty years after his assassination, no one even peripherally involved- is still alive. The sources and methods that were supposedly showing the world by declassifying these are so outdated they were irrelevant...so…

Orange Shirt Day should not be a called or turned into a “celebration”. It is our Remembrance Day. We honour and observe. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

Tip 3: If students #highered are still learning #LMS and assignment, teach the functions of #LMS where to upload and how to do it as a separate part. Basic grammar, templating, teach the assignment and then how to upload to Dropbox if using #D2L. Do it in parts.


Tip 2: If teaching online and Students need to reach you. Go through example of proper #email templating including capitalization. Takes a few minutes in early classes to show how & sets expectation for pro writing and help for term. #writing #highered #D2L #Zoom #Teams


Writing Thread: I’ve taught writing to international students in person and online. Tip 1: Teach students basic punctuation rules as a refresh in first classes. #teaching #internationalstudents #writing


Great tips to get your online #D2L or LMS course fall ready using #Discussion boards and consistent presence and tech tools! Happy learning #fall2022

Many seem to wish AI to assess students' essays. Is the future of written assignments that one AI writes essay and another AI gives grades? We need to seriously reconsider how to decide whether someone has learnt something

If a final-year student submitted this essay to you, how would you assess it? Could you detect that it had been written verbatim (apart from the prompt) by an AI program, GPT-3? If so - what would alert you that it "looks artificial"? #aied #edtech

Sure miss Gord! Saturday lyrics…🎼

Bill Barilko disappeared that summer He was on a fishing trip The last goal he ever scored Won the Leafs the cup They didn't win another till 1962 The year he was discovered I stole this from a hockey card I keeped tucked up under My fifty-mission cap

GordQuotes's tweet image. Bill Barilko disappeared that summer
He was on a fishing trip
The last goal he ever scored
Won the Leafs the cup
They didn't win another till 1962
The year he was discovered
I stole this from a hockey card
I keeped tucked up under
My fifty-mission cap
