I had a really good day with my regional Washington State Science Fellows! #wascied

Every generation needs to find its human rights heroes. If the present proves anything, it's that expanding and protecting human rights and human dignity is the work of humanity… in perpetuity.

May Jesse Jackson's memory and example be a blessing.

As a democracy, we have neglected the importance of civics education for too long.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article) The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

NSF funding for STEM education is ⬇️ 80% in 2025.

I read that #NintendoSwitch2 physical media are just licenses on a cartridge; you don’t own a copy of the software. Which means you can’t re-sell the games or play them should #Nintendo remove them from the store. If this is accurate: not for me. That, and $80 USD for *old* games? Too much.

Curious… if we share things using BlueSky as our data server, who owns that? Does it need to be on a PDS for me to consider it not owned by someone else?

Ultimately, sadly, because we democrats couldn’t get out the vote. That’s why. That’s the reason. We offered the people nothing compelling enough to just show up, so we lost the presidency and we have no control in either house of Congress. :(

Wish that you spent your Friday doing something besides checking if TikTok was banned or not?

NGSS, PE's and Assessment Inquiry... oh my! | Brian MacNevin 𝄆𝚫𝄇 I was contacted by a teacher in a REALLY different and quite far-away state. They were inquiring about a quite-old post about the NGSS PE's that I had made. Here is that post: It turns out, the post...

New AT Protocol blogging platform. An email with a teacher from another state about a 2018 FB post I'd made regarding the PE's not being a checklist of student accomplishments in lessons or units. Would welcome feedback as I work on refining my message! 😀 #ngss #edusci #scied #wascied #edusky

Curious about which unit and which lesson this is?

Maybe Canada should just annex Pt Roberts? And Whatcom County!

I wish I knew exactly what that means! lol

The EdReports tools are intended to help people evaluate entire multi-grade level (or HS course) curricula for alignment to the NGSS.

The EQuIP rubric is intended to help people evaluate lessons and units for alignment to the NGSS.

Yup. They’re for NGSS states, so I’m not sure if they’re useful for you.
