Wow, finally! When will it be our turn? For the SACE languages (continuers) exam, some languages have transitioned to e-exams, but others, like Chinese, still require handwritten responses. Teaching students to write Chinese characters by hand takes a lot of time and can sometimes make them less excited about learning the language. While learning to type the characters also requires time, students usually find it easier than handwriting . Living in the digital era, I often question how often I actually use paper and pen anymore, and now I’m asking my students to handwrite their exams.😓 Don’t get me wrong—I’m not against teaching character writing. I have a deep appreciation for Chinese characters, and also used to be a believer of learning characters writing by hand is very important and having been trained through rote practice myself. However, as a language teacher in TODAY world, I rely heavily on typing, and handwriting has become less of a necessity. I type almost exclusively now, and the only time I really handwrite characters is when I practice calligraphy. Occasionally, I even experience 提笔忘字—forgetting how to write a character after picking up the pen—not because I don’t know the character, but because I simply haven’t written it in a while. In our increasingly digital world, I strongly believe that typing has become a necessity. That’s why I look forward to the new subject renewal process, which aligns with SACE’s Passport to Thrive strategic plan. I hope this change will positively impact our subject by modernizing how we assess language skills, making them more relevant to the digital era in which we live.

We're excited about today's Monday mini-lesson! It is designed for 16-18 year-old students following ANY educational programme, enabling you to offer the benefits of the wonderful TOK course to ALL your learners. Instead of linking it to the DP subject groups, and the areas of knowledge and themes, we link it to more generic subject groups (which we define here - https://lnkd.in/eDsZZaPv) so it can plug into any curriculum. And instead of offering thoughts on how it might help approach the TOK essay and exhibition, we offer quick suggestions on extended projects it could help students create. The lesson looks at the massively important issue of 'publication bias', and how lies in the media can be told by omission just as much as by commission. It can be used by teachers of virtually any subject, particularly ones driven by published data and evidence. Of course, we also offer a TOK version of the mini-lesson, which you can download here - https://lnkd.in/eTNXqNFG Our members receive 15 new mini-lessons every month, as well as a host of other resources that constantly evolve to keep pace with the changing world.

Looking at the data for a single college is an exercise in ambiguity. The key to analyzing a college's market position is through comparisons to other colleges. The series of College Viability apps is designed to let users compare more than 30 IPEDS-based reports for the last 8-reported years. At the end of the linked blog is a promotional offer to get these apps into the hands of more college leaders, faculty, and staff. The blog content provides 16 reasons why it is the comparisons that matter. https://lnkd.in/dFaup2uN
