Mariners were so close to a first world series. Bummed right now. They might not get back to the playoffs for another couple decades. End of the day, the 7-9 hitters would probably strike out playing tball.

I've been thinking about the benefits of a 4 day school week w/ teachers working all five days. I would be a much more effective teacher those 4 days with students if I had the 5th day to plan, prep, grade, give feedback, collab with colleagues, etc. Just a random Sunday thought. #edusky

As we head into the school year, I’m as grateful as ever for our nation’s hard-working educators. If you agree, please let the teachers & homeschoolers in your life know about Rick Steves Classroom Europe—a free & ad-free library of 600 video clips covering history, art, music, culture & geography.

What if students had more say in how they learn? That's the promise of student agency and it works. 📘 Explore the why + how: knowledgeworks.org/resources/st... #EdChat #StudentVoice #FutureReady

If I have to pass the same blood born pathogen training every single year to teach, maybe Congress should have to pass a test over the Constitution every year as well. 🤷‍♂️

As a teacher of AP Human Geography, I feel like it's important to point out that the people making a lot of the current national policy decisions probably would have failed my class based on their policies and arguments. #edusky

This makes me sad. How does this make us better as a people or a nation?

Just spent two days at the Northern Cass Personalized Learning Institute. I presented two well attended sessions and was able to attend some sessions to learn from others. This work fills my cup.

After watching most of the major media outlets fail miserably to do their damn jobs, at least we have @rollingstone.com doing the work of actual journalism.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

At Santa Cruz Valley USD, educators embrace productive struggle—for themselves & their students. “We acknowledge students have different needs, but it can be overwhelming. We’re in partnership to identify those needs.” – Megan Padilla 🔗 knowledgeworks.org/resources/sh...

A3: I discuss with my students mostly how it will change how some professions or some will become redundant as AI improves. I think it helps provide a frame of reference and relevancy into my class when we use AI. Real world connections. #EduSkyAI

A2: I think being able to use AI as a collaborative partner, not just an answer generator. Students who can leverage AI to improve their own skills and knowledge will be more adaptable and employable in careers that may not even exist yet. #EduSkyAI

I model AI use in front of students, then give them prompts to get them started, encouraging then to continue the dialogue until they get what they want. They learn to craft prompts on their own and use AI to greet to an end goal in a structured environment. #EduSkyAI

My Friday #HistoryTee 🗺️ 🗃️

I was asked to provide access to the course on the history of American slavery that I posted on Twitter back in 2020, and I'm going to take this opportunity to post the whole thread here with all the links to readings and sources. threadreaderapp.com/thread/12167...

Currently watching a guy struggle to load a couple ikea bookshelves and a few small things into his cyber truck, while I have three beds, a dresser, a vanity, and more in my Tacoma. Embarrassed for this dudes struggle! Not sure this guy has ever loaded a truck in his life and he's starting with this

Q2: What role should AI play in grading and feedback? #EduSkyAI @thenerdyteacher.bsky.social

Q1: Are you using AI in any aspect of assessment? #EduSkyAI

Hey #EduSkyAI! We have our chat back in action on Thursday and @jenroberts.bsky.social, @mikelawrence.me, and I will be here to share in the Ai goodness. We hope to see you tomorrow at 8ET! We are going to chat about AI Assessment & Feedback. #EduSky

Anyone done an unessay project for a History of the English Language class?

In my coaching role, I spend a lot of time preparing and delivering PD. Over the past year that has mostly involved AI. Today I am sitting at my computer writing an article without any connection to or support from AI. Happy to just sit and write down my own thoughts. It is refreshing! #edusky

Excited that @knowledgeworks.bsky.social is here!

My 9 year old daughter is pretty proficient with Canva. This afternoon I showed her Adobe Express and I am pretty sure I created a monster!

I love all of my jobs, but maybe 4 different jobs is too many. Just a few more weeks and then I get a break. Definitely only working 2 jobs next semester. 😃

Led a virtual pd this afternoon for teachers on how to use a variety of Google's lesser known tools. Great time and the hour flew by! It's fun to work with teachers who lean into the work! #edusky
