Learning Teaching Scotland Puns

What the title says. I used to care way too much about everything: arriving super early to work, staying later than everyone else, getting praise from admin, standing out amongst my coworkers, being all my students’ favorite teacher, being overly energetic for my students even though I am naturally a very quiet and introverted person, the list goes on and on. I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I don’t need to be and do all those things. That’s not sustainable or necessary to fulfill your self worth. I know I’m still a good teacher without doing all that all of the time.

Give yourselves a break, and remember it’s just a job, not your whole life.

I would love to learn other languages then English for a list of reasons,but basically I have fallen in love with anarchist,communist,liberation,workers, protest,landback songs,etc(if you know any song in any language that are based or black/red pilled pm me or comment and ill check them out) i have songs in english, french,Russian,Ukraine,Lao/Laotian ,German ,Spanish I would like to know how to say the words properly, and know fully what they mean in the original language. since there are likely cultural or linguistic principles i dont know. Also I might be in the market for a book club (when ever I think of book clubs 'nestor makhno Ukrainian anarchist warlord and book club aficionado' - robert evans of the behind the bastards podcast [during Christmas he does a non bastard]) Right now I am writing this out at 4 am so ill figure out the details later

I am interested in finding an immersive learning experience for a young child, similar to what a native young Japanese child would use to acquire the language if they lived in Japan. I am not looking for an English heavy channel like "Ryan's World" as I personally believe that learning Japanese through the use of pictures, Japanese dialogue (with Japanese subtitles), and music is the best way to acquire the language, without the use of English translations or romaji. Some examples of the content I am looking for are 学ぶ子供たちyoutube.com/watch?v=IJEJzj6_gDo, a Japanese children's' song, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPmkAeuDOyk&t=32s, a Japanese children's story. I am looking to find a channel that has content that is similar to these examples. Thank you.

Background:

I’m a young adult who always had a love for computers and building them, eventually a month ago I decided to pick up a book on python and started with print(“hello world”) at first was discouraged then kept going and eventually stumbled upon c++

I’m new and self teaching but so far it’s been a blast, learning c++ feels like learning and solving complex problems even if it’s just simple Switch problem, feel like I’m slowly building foundations

Anyways as to my question above would c++ be recommended for someone who is quite new to coding? I’m currently learning classes and have found coding to be almost natural to me.

Edit: wow this post really blew up, thank you for all the comments in regards to my question, I appreciate all of the help!!

Hello everyone, I've been slowly learning C# mainly through Unity's tutorial(added benefit of learning Unity along the way which I want to use). I also have watched Brackeys and various other YouTube tutorials to try and reinforce what I'm learning. I've also done some of codecademy's lessons. I should say I started January 1st, so I'm about 2 weeks in and I'm on module 3 of Unitys tutorial.

The problem I've reached now is I feel like I'm just learning how to follow a tutorial, its really demoralising. I understand what I'm shown, I pass the tests, the quizzes, everything. If you give me existing code I can "fix" the mistakes, if you ask me questions about code I can answer them.

But, if you sit me in front of a blank screen and tell me to recreate any of the code I've learnt or could explain, i just can't do it.

How else can I knowledge check, I feel like I'm using every available resource? How did you remain motivated? How long did it take before you could write say a player movement code without reference?

Hi there! My school is going to transition back to virtual learning soon due to the increase in covid numbers. This time around I want to up my tech game but not break the bank. I would like some suggestions for a decent tablet I can use to teach during screen share on GoogleMeets with a focus on math. So I would like to be able to annotate over a PDF file, make drawings/shapes with ease, and something that is customizable to add in some fun templates or grids and etc. Any thoughts?

***please no iPad suggestions that is literally the only thing being recommended on YouTube and it's the most expensive thing. no thank you.

A tip for teachers wanting to pick up new skills so you can transition to a new career- look at what education benefits your district offers. Through my union I am able to take free courses at a local community college. It has nothing to do with my professional development plan so I can take anything I want. I’m getting an associates in interactive web design totally free of charge and all online classes.

Most of my coworkers were totally unaware of this benefit, so make sure to check what’s available to you!

I kind of just came to a realization that I have been accumulating as much "spiritual knowledge" as possible as a means to teach others/philosophize as I go along my own path. That's not to say it hasn't come with backed up experience and genuine growth, I'm hardly recognizeable from "who I was" as a "person" just a little over a year ago, but I feel sometimes that becoming some kind of teacher figure to others has become almost more important to me than complete liberation itself. I do feel it comes a lot from a place of genuinely wanting to help others come to the point I have thus far, but of course there must be aspects of ego in it as well. Perhaps there is some kind of fantasy about taking on this role because I am fearful of actually "going all the way" so to say, into the unknown. Or perhaps the image of some incredibly wise peaceful dude pleases me on some level. I don't consciously feel this way nor do I intend to really, just a speculation cause I can't quite pinpoint why, perhaps it is currently subconscious. I don't want this to hinder the spiritual path, which may be a good sign. That's not to say there's something wrong with helping others along the path in one way or another, I just don't want to let that deter me from actually going all the way. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any advice on how to overcome this?

I got my first keyboard a couple of weeks ago and am pretty determined to become proficient but really have zero interest (at this point) in learning classical music or practicing reading sheet music. My goals are to be able to play songs that I like (beatles/elton john level songs nothing insane) and to eventually be able to improvise chord progressions/melodies.

What artists/genres are good for building a base of piano knowledge? I'm looking for an artist or song to learn where there are concepts I can learn that are applicable to piano as a whole. These can be long-term-goal songs too, not necessarily something I can play now, but something to work towards.

Also - as a qualifier to those who recommend against this method - I've played guitar for 15 years and have at least a basic knowledge of music theory; I've found a lot of this carries over to piano so far (I can recognize what chords I'm learning in a song, 7th and diminished chords have the same sound, I'm familiar w intervals, etc). So it's not like I'm just going to memorizing finger patterns with no context. I realize it's not the best way to learn. But I'd rather stumble through songs to pick up technique than do practice exercises and play mary had a little lamb.

Edit: I don't necessarily mean degrees IN creationism, rather degree subjects that somehow contain creationism ideas within their larger teachings? Otherwise it must be a strange thing to learn creationism then have to unlearn it later.

I've seen photos and they don't appear any less corrupt than mummies, embalmed bodies or Lenin and Stalin.

Not sure what to make of this teaching in the church.

I'm currently starting my journey into teaching in international schools. I am a qualified primary teacher with experience in Aus and UK. I know many schools are IB, and it seems like a lot of the good ones are too. I'm not too familiar yet with IB, but I know that it favours an inquiry based approach that promotes discovery learning, real-world skills and critical thinking. While of course I'm not against any of those things, they are not my preferred way of structuring learning experiences. I very strongly believe in a knowledge based curriculum, explicit teaching, retrieval practice, etc. I don't want to start debate about the pros and cons of the two approaches here, as I know that people have positive and negative experiences with both and strong feelings. My question is basically: is my philosophy of teaching and learning going to be incompatible with the IB approach? Is it likely I will feel dissatisfied in this environment? Or do I have a too simplistic view of the IB curriculum?

I know it's by far not preferable to self teach an instrument, I currently play violin so I'm comfortable in treble clef and I can slowly read bass clef.

But I've been think about picking up an inexpensive piano keyboard to try. Any suggestions

does anyone know where this location is on campus?

If so, what were your opinions before, how did you learn about CST, and at what age did your shift of opinion begin?

This happened to me recently. I am a math tutor and I’ve had this job for over a year. Some kid needed help with absolute value problems on her homework and every minute of me trying to help her understand the problems was met with “that’s not right” “you’re doing it wrong” “that’s not how my teacher did it” and even looking at google to prove that I’m wrong. Shocker: I’m right.

Everyone makes mistakes while they’re teaching, but they won’t fundamentally screw you over so that what you’re learning from them is completely incorrect. The person trying to teach you is well versed in whatever is being taught. Try not to look for errors but rather ask questions on where your understanding differs between theirs. It’s really easy to be full of pride and believe that you’re right when you could be wrong.
