Where? I feel Google has gone way downhill but the Bing based search engines haven't seemed any better.

Isn't new York flooded right now?

Because it's the country the company is based in.

But they're both Walt Disney, so does this say that he did character voices while masturbating?

Can you be more specific? I'd like to know what it's missing.

I think you're misunderstanding what I mean. Early Access is a newer term for getting paid access to a game early. Open beta is an older term but was used for free access to a game early for testing purposes. They used to have different meanings which is why early access was created as a new term to distinguish it from a beta. Calling paid early access a beta is intentionally misleading.

It used to be called early access. At least it wasn't a misleading term.

Getting over it?

It's basically a book you can talk to. A book can contain incredibly knowledge, but it's a preserve artifact of intelligence, not intelligence.

Agreed. I'm not defending phones in class, just pointing out that there's more work that can be done with lesson plans as well.

I fully support kicking kids off their phones in class, I don't think any lesson no matter how engaging can compete with that. I'm not supposed to be on my phone during meetings, I think it's perfectly reasonable to ban phones from class. I was just commenting that work can be done to make lessons more engaging when phones aren't involved. There's of course a limit to what you can do, and some subjects are just inherently harder to get kids into, like statistics. But seriously good on you for doing that. I'm sure that while it didn't have perfect engagement, it was far better than just teaching it to the book.

Just curious, is there a place you can share that lesson plan to other teachers? It'd be a shame for all that work you did to not get to be used in other classrooms as well.

You can increase motivation to learn by making lessons more engaging even if it's a subject they're not personally interested in. But making lessons more interesting and engaging is not easy and we can't expect all teachers to have the skills and resources to do the research and development needed to produce lesson plans that are really interesting. I think it could be improved by putting more money into developing interesting lesson plans centrally and distributing the materials to teachers to follow instead of just producing dry curriculums. Teachers need support.
