Just getting my arms around the new AI tool #NotebookLM. I think I can get it to transcribe #Zoom interviews. A game changer for #research. What else can it do? #AI #technology #digital

Back at it today! Goodbye slow mornings and days in sweatpants. Hello new semester and fresh faces!

Last day to enjoy leftover cheese before facing down the new semester.

Using #ChatGPT today to help me make a travel itinerary for the new year. It’s not a mandate—just a rough outline to help me plan.

Happy New Year 2025! Can’t wait to see where #edtech and #ai will take us this year!

Great article on how teachers are controlling their own classroom curriculum. I’m here for it. #edusky www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/u...

Just resharing this starter pack for those interested in research and chatter on #digitalliteracies or #tech in #ELA. #edusky #academicsky go.bsky.app/98FHS2C

Setting the digital Do Not Disturb sign on my work email. I feel lighter already. #edusky #academicsky

This could be a fun activity for #ELA #middleschool classes. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It’s Day Four of the end-of-semester grading fiesta. Eyes falling out of sockets? Check. Shoulder and arm sore? Check. Giddy that I’m one day closer to an eggnog and cookies hangover? Also check.

::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.

Just finished watching Dune, parts 1 and 2, last night. God, those are amazing films. Can’t wait for Dune 3. Meanwhile, I’m hoping for a little Spice for Christmas. #movies

just wanna retire and go live in some quaint seaside town with my cat where i run a little bookstore that sells magical potions and spells that turn idiots into frogs and maybe help solve a local murder every now and then.

Happy birthday, Noam Chomsky! #Academicsky #linguistics

Coming out of a grading stupor and realizing it’s Friday night. #catsky 💙🐈

My mom: Now that your classes are over, we can get lunch and do fun things Me:

One more pitch for our edited collection on #AI in #ELA #education. Maybe add it to your holiday shopping list? a.co/d/beu0Uky

I may or may not have just bought $150 worth of books from Barnes & Noble in their cyber Monday sale.

Wrapped up classes with my students today and gave them books I collected at #ncte. Nothing warms my heart more than watching them argue over who gets what. #edusky #academicsky

Nearly there. Two days to the end of the semester and then the exam grading fiesta. I think I can. #teaching

So thankful to be thinking about pie today instead of #hurricaneHelene cleanup.

Finishing Wall’s The Glass Castle and thinking that maybe my family isn’t as crazy as I thought. It’s a good reminder as I drive to Florida today for Thanksgiving. #Booksky

Telling me your shiny, new, expensive tool is teacher-proof is the only red flag I need to end a conversation immediately. It's an insult. Tools are nothing without teachers who can facilitate thoughtful use that pushes kids to think critically, ask questions & solve big problems. #EduSky

"Science of Reading" Playing Numbers Games Not Supported by Science radicalscholarship.com/2024/02/15/s...

I know I am late to this party, but my #YAL students and I just read Kobabe’s phenomenal graphic memoir Gender Queer. It’s a must read for everyone at my Thanksgiving table.

I just learned how to make a starter pack! How neat is that? Let me know if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/98FHS2C
