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.

The common thing there is that they're smaller animals. When you raise a large animal like a cow you need to sustain that extra size for the entire time they grow.
Does climate friendly meat actually exist? I don't really understand how, at least not at the volume people eat meat today.
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.
Learn to make your own, then sell them on Etsy, wait, oh no!
Yes, I'm sure they're still processed but I think it would make sense to give less credence to anonymous tips as they're less likely to be legit or serious than one that someone puts their name on.
It can be overkill if you need something simple that doesn't match next's defaults, but if the default settings of next work for your use case I found the base project setup very simple to use.
Have you tried using an auto formatter? Let's you write code however and fixes the structure automatically on save. It's way easier for me to write curly braces then hit ctrl+s than have to select multiple lines manually and tab in and out. I feel the biggest gains I've made in productivity came after I learned to embrace tooling.
I was taught java my first semester. I certainly hope no schools teach dynamic languages in the first semester.
Yes, it's still a transpiler, I'm not saying it isn't, but what I mean is that it doesn't add any functionally specific to the typescript language. There's a transpiler for TS that doesn't even do any type checking at all and just does the type stripping and back porting. But of course, that's not why people use typescript. All the features that are actually important to typescript could be done through a linter instead. If type annotations were added to JavaScript you could get most of typescript's features with linting rules and just handle back porting in a more standard way.
