K12Science Podcast: Time Management
I was recently reading the March/April 2023 issue of “Science Scope” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.
In this issue, I read the “Practical Research” column, written by Alison Betz Seymour. She wrote an article entitled, ““But, I’m Not Done Yet!” Time Management in the Science Classroom.”
Here are some practical, simple suggestions to develop time management skills:
1. Explicitly talk about time management.
2. Prompts such as “Check in with your time, there are about 10 minutes left for this task.”
3. Scaffold students’ ability to visualize time by using an analog clock with time intervals marked with dry-erase pens.

Stop using pop culture references as the first half of the title of your journal article.
Word of the day is ‘battologise’ (17th century): to needlessly and annoyingly repeat the same thing, over and over.
I spend a lot of time with ChatGPT. My impression… It’s just really book smart. It has no life experience except what it’s read. It’s as inaccurate and as sure of itself as people I meet in real life that have read a lot about a subject but have no operational knowledge.

Mario Fabbrini, owner of Papa Fabbrini Pizzas, watches the ceremonial burial of 29,188 frozen pizzas on 5 March, 1973. He had been ordered to recall the pizzas by the Food and Drug Administration. To demonstrate his accountability, Fabbrini organized a public disposal of the pizzas, later dubbed the “Great Michigan Pizza Funeral”.
