Excited that Kristie Dotson will be doing a keynote at the American Association of #Philosophy Teachers conference this summer! Note that CFP deadline is Feb. 17. https://philosophyteachers.org/cfp-keynote/

@clintlalonde That really is awful. So far my son doesn't feel that pressure, but he's in grade 7 and I expect it's likely to come later. High school is next year...

The Philosophy department at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver (where I work) is inviting applications for an Assistant Professor without Review (non-tenure track position) in Ethics: https://philosophy.ubc.ca/job-opportunities/assistant-professor-without-review-ethics/ #UBC #philosophy

Great story about a colleague's project to create interactive, browser-based activities to go along with an #OpenTextbook in logic: https://bccampus.ca/2020/02/06/homework-activities-a-logical-extension-of-forall-x-using-carnap/ I can't wait to see the results of this project by Dave Gilbert at #UBC #Philosophy! #OER

Pressbooks can now make clones of open books and copy over H5P activities, as @clintlalonde discusses in this post. Nice! https://edtechfactotum.com/pressbooks-cloning-now-with-added-h5p-goodness/ #OER #OpenTextbooks

@clintlalonde I can see how this might happen, though it’s still too bad. At some ages grades just are what school is about, and your future depends on them. Hard to get past that I’d imagine. Though myself, I completely agree with you. I’d be so thrilled to not give grades but genuine feedback on progress that doesn’t have to be quantified.

Bryan van Norden has an amazing and growing list of suggested readings on what he calls the “less commonly taught philosophies” (at least in N America), including African, Asian, Continental, and more. Great places to get started to diversify readings in #philosophy courses! http://www.bryanvannorden.com/suggestions-for-further-reading

Very intriguing post by Martin Lenz on the important details of why asking students to learn how to ask philosophical questions (in addition to answering) is valuable. Via Daily Nous. #philosophy https://handlingideas.blog/2020/01/31/questions-an-underrated-genre/

@foureyedsoul Just tried it out and it's looking good! I created a couple of different class names for different text and line widths depending on whether the argument is in word form or symbol form. Seems to be doing the trick so far! I really, really appreciate your help.

@plantarum Sorry for the late reply! Thank you for letting me know. This is what I suspected.
