🍰 WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK:
🌀 Hurricanes are in the news and in many of our cities. And they’re getting stronger and more frequent. Is climate change causing all of these hurricanes? In this video, climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe explains that the right question is actually ‘How much worse did climate change make it?'” Additional links from my week include:
⛑️ A Teacher's Guide to Disaster Preparedness from Subject To Climate and the American Red Cross.
🗳️ The 6 Surprising Education Issues at Stake in the Election: "Many of the topics the campaigns are talking about connect directly to the classroom.” - The Hechinger Report
🌳 Using Edtech in Service of Human Connections: “Teachers and schools are reducing their reliance on digital tools to create more intentional and connected classroom experiences.” Edutopia shares teacher Paul Emerich France’s “series of questions that he calls a ‘filter’ educators can use to determine if the tools they use are actually effective.” Love this.
👻 Speaking of technology, you may have had trouble connecting to TKSST this week. If so, I promise we’ve been working to resolve these problems, but it’s a bit like chasing ghosts. We’ve switched server companies, upgraded the service, and optimized various technical aspects of the site. I'm now rebuilding TKSST to replace the current 5-year-old version. We suspect the old code might be too resource-intensive for our traffic across 6,500 pages, but we'll know more soon.
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to improve TKSST for everyone. ⬇️ Check out this week’s videos below. - Rion
