1000 Sats Gebühren pro vByte? 2000 Sats Gebühren pro vByte? Oder womöglich sogar 5000 Sats Gebühren pro vByte? Wenn in der Nacht zu Samstag (unserer Zeit) bei Block 840.000 planmäßig das vierte Bitcoin Halving stattfindet, werden voraussichtlich Millionen Menschen auf der ganzen Welt gleichzeitig gespannt auf die Bildschirme starren und schauen, was passiert. Dass Bitcoin anschließend komplett krachen geht, so wie es teils bei den vorherigen Halvings prophezeit wurde, damit rechnet eigentlich niemand ernsthaft. Die einen wollen vielmehr miterleben und feiern, wie die Bitcoin-Neuschöpfung immer knapper wird. Andere hingegen werden wetteifern und kämpfen um den einen, den besonderen Block, der symbolisch und monetär so wertvoll ist. Denn die Seltenheit eines Halvingblocks und die Aufmerksamkeit, die er erfährt, sorgen dafür, dass viele ihn ganz oder zumindest einen Teil von ihm besitzen wollen. Und alle anderen fragen sich: Wird es im Block versteckte Bilder geben, Nachrichten oder andere Spielereien? Wer wird den extrem seltenen 1. Satoshi des Blocks bekommen? Wem gelingt es, die ersten Runes auf Bitcoin erschaffen und wie teuer wird das eigentlich alles? Und werden die Miner die Blockchain auf Grund all dieser und noch viel mehr offener und versteckter Anreize vielleicht sogar reorganisieren? Fragen über Fragen, doch wir werden es bald erleben. Vorher sprechen wir jedoch erst einmal über Runes, das Shitcoin-Gambling-Spekulations-und-Entertainment-Protokoll aus der Feder des Ordinals-Erfinders, das ebenfalls mit Block 840.000 startet und schon jetzt für einen großen Hype sorgt. Und das der Grund sein könnte, warum die Blockchain womöglich über Wochen auf Grund exorbitanter Gebühren für viele Alltagstransaktionen unbrauchbar wird. Zumindest im schlimmsten Fall. Wir sprechen daher mit Freerk und Christoph von Ordimint über all das: über Ordinals, BRC-20-Token und Runes, über Memecoins, Mempool Sniping und Sats Hunting, über Layer-2-Scams, über Socratic Seminars und Bitcoin auf Kuba. Und wir haben sehr, sehr viel Spaß dabei. Doch hört am besten selbst!

Socratic seminars are a democratic, student-centered, approach to class discussions. They can be used at any grade level with any subject area. In a Socratic Seminar, members meet in a circle (or more likely an oval, because, let's be real, circles are really hard to...

David Vermeulen teaches middle school social studies in Montague Area Public Schools--you will remember him from episode 63 on self-paced instruction. In this episode, he shared how he implements Socratic Seminars with middle school students, fostering civil discourse and collaboration. He even incorporates a backchannel chat, similar to what was shared in episode 40.

Socratic Seminars are a big part of my class. The students circle-up and then dissect complex topics. These are highly engaging, collaborative, and provocative sessions. We do them a lot. However, even if you thoroughly enjoy something, like the taste of a Reese Cup (the relevance of which I'll explain in the episode), if you do it too much...the magic is lost. I'm always looking for ways to improve engagement in class discussion. My kids are totally down with Philosophical Chairs, which I consider a highly successful experiment. A few months ago I ventured down a new a path, the Silent Socratic Seminar. Even as I read the last sentence, it seems absurd. How can you have a class discussion if no one says anything? This episode will demonstrate how you can do just that.

Tsunami warnings, forgetfulness, planning a joke and school stuff.

Kathy Thomas  English teacher   Paradise High School (CA) Segment I – Background and Inspiration    Tell your story. Where are you from and how long have you been teaching? What   classes have you taught?    – Kathy went to Arizona State and was originally a business major but took a lot of language classes, especially French, and became a teacher of foreign languages for the first 12 years of her career. Who has helped you in your journey to become a master teacher?   – Not one specific person... a lot of people put her under their wing. Her math colleagues taught her organization and served as voices of comfort.      It is important for other teachers to know that we all have had setbacks in the classroom. Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience.   – Early in a career, while doing a lesson on telling time, only one student was paying attention. The clock that she had, made of card stock, hit the one student that was paying attention. But she took away, years later, not to take things personally. The reality is that not every student will share the same level of enthusiasm but now she has learned to step back and assess why students may not be engaged.     Why teach English and the language arts?   – Kathy believes it is the most important subject because it is all about communication through writing, speaking, reading, and listening.      What is one thing that you love about the classroom?   –  The discussions that happen in the classroom. There is nothing more satisfying than engaging in a discussion with a teenager.  She draws out conversation though Socratic Seminars and turning over the power of the classroom to the students with structure so it is not just a discussion about feelings.     Segment II — Digging into the Teacher Bag of Goodies     What book do you recommend to a developing teacher?    – Reading Don't Fix No Chevys: Literacy in the Lives of Young Men. It addresses the male population in the classroom. The discovery was that boys were different in the way that they attacked reading.      What is one thing a teacher can do outside the classroom that can pay off inside the classroom?   – Kathy joined her local writing project (connect with your local a National Writing Project). It really changed who she was in the classroom.      Is there an internet resource that you can recommend which will help teachers grow professionally?   –  NCTE. She is also a Quizlet addict. She also recently discovered Pixton, a cartoon maker that she uses for alternative assessment.     What can a teacher can do to make students better writers?   – She believes in discussion once again. If a student can talk about a topic and make sense of it, the next progression is to put those ideas on paper.       What novel or poem do you love to teach and why?     – The Great Gatsby. As Francine Prose said, it is just gorgeous writing. The story is so rich and complicated and beautiful. As far as non-fiction goes, she really enjoys teaching Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success.     The post #3 The Art of Communication with Kathy Thomas appeared first on Talks with Teachers.
