Let’s do a #bfc530 Summer Break (at least here in the USA) check … what’s going on with everyone?
Hey #bfc530 … sorry I have been detached this week … been hitting that education Summer detox… how is everyone doing?
Random question for the #bfc530 chat … Do people play board games or cards any more? I remember growing up it seemed like everyone played games. Were physical games replaced by digital games? Are they better? Whaat are your thoughts?
Something I wish I did, but didn’t … History Fair with the students … we started it but then got hit with a couple If hurricanes and missed school so it got lost in the missed school days. I love doing that project with the kids. #bfc530
Dennis Dill@realmstrdill.bsky.social · last yr.Happy Wednesday Time for the #bfc530 slow chat. With the end of the school year here (or near) let’s talk “regret” … what is something you wish you could have done but didn’t?

One thing that bothers me is when people use the phrase “do it for the students” as a tool of manipulation … usually when they are adding something else to our teaching plate. #bfc530

Hey … sorry for not posting in #Bfc530 … had to run my FiL into the ER … in the waiting area. This life moment brings up the question … How do you all deal with aging parents? Mine have passed, but my wife’s are in their upper 80s.
As a veteran teacher, I enjoy a lot of autonomy. Although, I am in a system of rules and standards that must be followed so so I am not really sure if I have real autonomy or if I just think I do because my Admin isn’t telling me what to do all the time. #bfc530
Happy Tuesday! Let’s talk autonomy … How much autonomy do you have over what you do? How does having a sense of control over your work affect your mood/happiness? Don’t forget to use the #bfc530 hashtag in your response.
AI is becoming more and more prevalent and it is here to stay … I am annoyed with AI in automated answering … it never seems to know how to help … kids are using it to answer questions so they don’t have to read or do the learning activity … the process of learning can’t be skipped #bfc530
Bosses … ugh … am I right? What makes a good boss … someone who is going to be honest … may not like what they have to say, but at least you know where you stand and what is happening. #bfc530
