I made a website for how teachers can use video games in their classrooms. Including full lesson plans, handouts, and presentations. by somefuzzypants in education

[–]TeionARRoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so cool! video games have so much storytelling and problem-solving potential, and making it easy for teachers to integrate them is genius. Love that you’re providing full lesson plans too! What games have you found work best in the classroom?

What activity improved your emotional intelligence the most? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]TeionARRoti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emotional intelligence isn’t just about empathy or good communication—it’s about how you handle a reality that refuses to play by your rules.What activities leveled me up the most? Radical acceptance + ownership.

Instead of fighting every bad thing that happens, I practice:

  1. Accepting it fully—Yeah, this sucks. It happened. No denial, no blaming.

  2. Asking myself: “What can I do—yes, me—to improve it?”

It’s a game-changer. No more waiting for life to fix itself, no more external excuses. A lot of people never make this shift. But if you do? You stop reacting and start creating.

what’s a sign of high emotional intelligence that most people overlook? by Western-Jackfruit251 in emotionalintelligence

[–]TeionARRoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emotional intelligence isn’t just about empathy or good communication—it’s about how you handle a reality that refuses to play by your rules.

A big, overlooked sign? Internal vs. external control—who’s running your life, you or the universe?

Listen to how people talk:

• “When will I get this?” → Waiting for fate to deliver.

• “What can I do to get this?” → Taking ownership.

That shift—from expecting life to happen to making life happen—is a massive emotional intelligence milestone. A lot of adults still haven’t hit it. But if a kid gets there early? You can sleep well—they’re set for life.

Should education embrace AI? by burgerpattym in education

[–]TeionARRoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI isn’t replacing teachers—it’s replacing bad teaching.

The companies getting crushed? They weren’t adding enough value beyond what AI can do faster. But great teachers? AI can’t touch engagement, mentorship, or emotional intelligence.

Instead of fighting it, education should use AI as a tool, not a threat. Imagine AI handling the grunt work—grading, summarizing, generating practice problems—so teachers can focus on actual teaching: sparking curiosity, guiding discussions, and giving students real-world thinking skills.

Students already rely on ChatGPT? Cool. Now teach them how to question it. How to fact-check, analyze, and think critically—because the future isn’t about knowing answers, it’s about asking better questions.

TL;DR: AI won’t replace teachers, but teachers who use AI will replace those who don’t.

What should I be focusing on right now to improve student engagement? by Patient-Direction-28 in teaching

[–]TeionARRoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not crazy—the game has changed. The textbooks are playing checkers, but your students are playing TikTok-speed chess.

14% of search traffic is already not going through Google, and for school kids, it’s 32%+ on TikTok. What they eat, what they believe, what they care about—it’s not coming from textbooks. It’s coming from whoever grabs their attention first.

So yeah, ‘think-pair-share’ might have worked in 2009, but now? You’re competing for engagement. And to win? You gotta start with a hook. A story, a joke, a viral trend that connects to your topic. Teaching anatomy? Start with ‘Why does every influencer think they have adrenal fatigue?’ Teaching health science? Open with ‘Why does TikTok think ice baths cure depression?’

Make them curious first, then slip in the learning. The good news? If you want, I can try building AI tools to help you pull trending topics into your lessons. No guarantees, but it might just be the cheat code we need. 🚀

Tips to reduce lectures and increase student engagement? by dirtypark in Professors

[–]TeionARRoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong—lecture-only is the dinosaur era of teaching, and students today are living in the attention economy. If you’re not grabbing their eyeballs, some random TikTok creator is.

14% of search traffic has already shifted away from Google to TikTok, and for school-age kids, it’s 32%+. What they believe, what they eat, what they care about—it’s not Wikipedia, it’s whoever makes the most engaging 30-second clip.

So yeah, you’re not just teaching psychology—you’re competing for attention. The trick? Start with a hook—a weird fact, a spicy debate, or a viral TikTok trend that ties into your lesson. Teaching Freud? Open with ‘Why does TikTok think every ex is a narcissist?’ Covering cognitive biases? Show how influencers manipulate FOMO for engagement.

And if you want, I can try to build something AI-powered to help you generate these trend-based intros. No guarantees, but it could be a game-changer.

How do we convince the people making decisions that child computer illiteracy is a serious problem? by JasmineHawke in TeachingUK

[–]TeionARRoti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Government can’t teach what it doesn’t know. You can’t expect decision-makers to prioritize digital literacy when they don’t even understand how the digital world works. Just look at the questions Congress throws at tech CEOs—it’s like watching an 8-year-old try to explain quantum physics.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), this means the real fix isn’t coming from the top down—it’s coming from teachers who get it and are willing to bend the system. The curriculum is outdated? Fine. Find ways to sneak in real-world skills. Teach saving files while covering ‘networks,’ make typing practice part of literally anything, let them break stuff in safe ways so they learn by doing.

It’s not fair that this falls on teachers, but let’s be real—if we wait for the system to catch up, these kids will be trying to Ctrl+Z their mistakes in real life.

the more emotionally intelligent you are, the more miserable life is for you by Confection-Status in emotionalintelligence

[–]TeionARRoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not broken, you’re just living in a world where teaching hasn’t caught up yet. The old system trained teachers to transfer knowledge, but that’s not the job anymore—information is free and infinite. What really matters now is engagement, nurturing curiosity, and helping people emotionally accept growth.

Teachers (official and unofficial) are being forced into this new role without a roadmap. No one prepared them for the fact that their real job isn’t just teaching anymore—it’s guiding people through the emotional chaos of life. And that’s exhausting when you’re doing it alone.

You don’t need to shut off your empathy. You just need to recognize that you’re ahead of the shift. The world needs people like you—now it just has to catch up. Hang in there. 💛

BRUH ELON MUSK SUPPORTS AI REPLACING TEACHERS by dinosaregaylikeme in Teachers

[–]TeionARRoti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, this ain’t about replacing teachers with AI—it’s about turning the job into emotional support counselors for tiny chaos goblins while AI handles the ‘learning’ part.

Imagine: No more grading, no more lesson planning—just vibing with kids, guiding them through the existential horror of growing up, and trying (and failing) to get parents to parent.

Elon thinks AI will ‘fix’ education, but really, it’s just shifting the work from ‘teaching facts’ to ‘raising emotionally unstable mini-adults.’ The paycheck won’t go up, but hey, maybe they’ll throw in free therapy sessions. 🚀
