@fortunos @futurebird pretty funny if you can pull it off. Can destroy some kids though.

@futurebird @freequaybuoy "works for me/on my machine"

@wavesculptor @futurebird what does change in brain states mean in this context?

@MintSpies @AbramKedge @futurebird when I was taking cartography classes our teacher would put up student work on the board but with the names removed and we would discuss it together. We didn't know if it was folks in our class or previous years and it was really helpful especially when you saw your own work up there and other people were kindly pointing out their suggestions.

@mansr @futurebird my highschool programming class was C++ based, but it was a joke. It was paint by numbers and we didn't learn programming.

The main thing I learned in that class was that Gmail existed and my classmates sent me an invitation to use it. Because he was checking his email during class time.

@ligasser @futurebird i'm interested, but very skeptical as well. Before the LLM craze, I was working through the CS50 Intro to CS class that Harvard offers online for free through OpenCourseWare. Even back then, they offered a rubber duck debugging program that you could type your questions to. And back then, I don't think it did anything except quack. But today, I would be curious what it does because I suspect they would try to use LLMs.

@futurebird One way I might play is have all the kids stand on a line they can't get off of. One volunteer can move freely, blindfolded, and has to listen to the group to find the treasure (usually a pool noodle on the ground).

During the game/debrief they'll almost always figure out that talking over each other doesn't work, and come up with a way to have one voice (often electing a leader).

This does not address the CS aspect of your challenge, but I hope it was helpful / interesting. (3/3)

@futurebird When we're doing something together as a group, the group has one voice. Sometimes it's my voice if I'm giving instructions. Sometimes it is your voice if you're sharing. It feels good when you have the respect of the group. We are not in One Voice all the time, but when we are, itis respectful and helpful to wait until the person before you is finished talking.

One group development game I play to reinforce this is called Buried Treasure. (It probably goes by many names). (2 /)

@futurebird I am just a humble outdoor educator, so my tools are primitive compared to yours, but maybe they would be interesting anyway. I am interested how they compare to yours.

My classroom management methods all tie back to the concept of mutual respect, and I'll write a symbol of an eye, an ear, and a heart on the whiteboard. These represent and remind students "what does respect look like, sound like, and feel like?"

One thing respect sounds like is One Voice. (1 / )
