I'm often struck how so much is made about "preparing kids" to work and learn in ways that, frankly, schools often don't know about & aren't setup to support. 🤷🏼‍♂️ So if the place we're "preparing students for" looks and functions like this, what then?

OMG OAME WOW!!💪🇨🇦 It felt really really special to be welcomed in my home province with open arms by math educators who are literally being the change we all wish to see, every single day. The energy in the room was INSANE yesterday. I am so grateful. You guys are my heroes💖🙏✨💪

Great times!

h/t to @themathguru.bsky.social and @realjmitchell.bsky.social for being good sports and letting me capture the moment. And to @natbanting.bsky.social for being in the frame doing other things. 😆

Having too much fun with the upgraded image generator in chatGPT.

Did some #ThinkingClassroom work today with solving algebraic equations. “I’m thinking of a number and if I add five to that number then multiply the whole thing by 2 the answer is 16. What’s the number I’m thinking of?” I miss having my own class…

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition. Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.

Any of my online pals at the reading for the love of it conference right now?

This was fun. Photography class took photos. English class wrote descriptive paragraphs about the images. I partnered with the teachers to run the descriptions through an AI image generator. The results were put on display at the end of the semester art show.

Yesterday I made the worlds cutest tree diagram. I used chatGPT to make the images and Adobe Express to remove the backgrounds.

Start here if you want to share info w/ folks to help blunt the harm of Haidt's The Anxious Generation: "Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The other physics teacher at my school noticed that when you graph projectile trajectories for a fixed launch speed at various angles, the parabolas produce a nice envelope which we could tell was ALSO a parabola. We'd never noticed that before! #ITeachPhysics www.desmos.com/calculator/l...

Last week I used Notebook LM to analyze 600+ teacher responses to the Professional Development day we had a week previous. Then I generated podcasts tailored to each individuals schools admin team…including next steps.

Said goodbye to her tonight. She was a good dog.

Transphobes deserve no oxygen in life or online. Pass it on.

White nationalists deserve no oxygen in life or online. Pass it on.

Ok…so this years Spotify wrapped comes with a notebook LM generated podcast tailored to your music tastes.

Does free, easy to use software exist that will create an image like this? #OntEd

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

I guess two questions 1) If the articles are freely accessible how can they claim unfair use? 2) How is this different than using freely available articles to teach a class of students how to write?

I’ll engage again when @sjeducate.bsky.social feels safe, positively regarded, and protected by that org. Until then… I stand with my sister and the Palestinian community.

In #NCTE I have found my home. It is my community. It is my English department. But if the organization does not choose the moral and ethical path that leads toward liberation and justice, how can I stay? I am watching closely. I need action from my organization.

Another one for the block lists.

Good morning! Thanks to a friendly Bluesky citizen, I figured out how to create a moderation list to keep track of the accounts Christopher (aka Wanda) creates simply to troll women here. Such a sad little man. Click on the list and then hit SUBSCRIBE for the option to block all of them at once.

The #math community seems to be growing here and becoming more active. I have presented on how to get the most of being in a community like this many times and here are my tips to grow this PLN and make it useful for educators. Bonus Tip - Use the Feeds: #MathChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath #MathSky

Just want to share with the #EduSky community an article I wrote for Ontario’s LD@school site that outlines a few ways that math teachers can make destreamed/detracked classes more inclusive for students, particular with learning disabilities. www.ldatschool.ca/moves-for-ef...

Made a Starter Pack of *current* K-12 math classroom teachers. Let me know if you should be added (or removed). go.bsky.app/35M7izP

The terrorism trial of Patrick MacDonald, AKA Dark Foreigner, resumes for its fourth day. We are watching over Zoom and providing updates as they happen. www.antihate.ca/canadian_ato...

Ditto for me. I could forgive people for not seeing things clearly back on October 7th, but after all this time, everyone knows what's happening. If you're defending Israel, you're defending genocide. It's really that simple.

This week I used Notebook LM to create a conversations based on some PD slides I used and the 60+ exit passes I collected for a day of learning. The conversation was a summery of the slides and exit pass feedback. This audio was shared with attendees. It was an awesome summary of learning.

Ok so today I was using Claude AI to try to generate a worksheet of special triangles. It did not do well.

I created a list of folks who make a social media place feel like home for me. I’m missing several, so be patient with me. Every person here is a banger. 10/10 go.bsky.app/4KXN1Jn

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

If you aren’t using Notebook LM you should be.

Ok this was a ton of fun. We started with a great discussion and activity to move people away from the assumption that all AI use is for the purpose of cheating.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

Block early. Block often. Don’t let the ding dongs in. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Here we go.

Me, deleting emails without opening them.

Congrats to MoMath & shout-out to the cool work being done by Cindy Lawrence + others! New location: 635 Sixth Avenue When: 2026 (in time for the midterms) #iTeachMath ♾️ www.nytimes.com/2024/11/14/a...

Oklahoma is ranked 49 out of 50 in education. But hey, nice Bibles.

More of this please.
