I am hopeful we can return to a time where computers are treated as devices that extend our skills and thinking, rather than used to extract rent. The majority of my students can’t even remember a world where this was the case.

How are we supposed to foster the deep thinking needed within our schools if we are just as distracted as our students? mugmarks.study/p/schools-as... #education #deepthinking #technology #edusky #schools #culture #edtech

For any Current Events teachers, here is a helpful resource for tomorrow! #edusky #geography #socialstudies #teachersky #greenland

"Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people—they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress." -Paulo Freire

History is surprisingly not that long ago. This is a great video to send students that reminder. #history #edusky #teachersky

Teachers and students alike fall victim to this trap. Writing is thought in its tangible form. This one conviction may be the only thing keeping education alive today, and we need to do our part as teachers to showcase this throughout our curriculum. #education #teachersky #edusky #ai #writing

Student jouralists in Minneapolis documenting ICE raids in their community like this are the most authentic demonstration for why writing still matters. Show your students and empower them! #writing #journalism #education #ICE #edusky #teachersky rooseveltstandard.com/797/opinion/...

Profoundly mature take from 7th grader Micha on EdTech (and some FOSS alternatives) that points toward the need for schools to own their tech, not just rent it. #education #edusky #teachersky #FOSS #edtech

Cool resource for geography teachers as students wrap their heads around US current events #geography #teachersky #education #edusky

Celebrate 25 years of @wikimediafoundation.org with your teaching! The Civic Online Reasoning website (spun off from staff at Stanford) has great materials for teaching students to use Wikipedia! #edusky #education #wikipedia #civics cor.inquirygroup.org/curriculum/l...

I watched the treadmill for hours why can’t I run a marathon?? #ai #edtech #edusky #education

It doesn’t look like this includes “sales” from services like Kindle Unlimited or library checkouts like Libby in the US. I wonder how those would affect these stats in terms of what method readers interact with text #education #edusky #books #reading

As someone whose district is all in on Apple, educators getting this for $30 a year seems like a steal #technology #edtech #education #edusky www.apple.com/apple-creato...

It would be funny if it weren’t so painfully believable. #education #edusky www.educationnext.org/president-tr...

⛾ The Cool Professor - A response to Freddie deBoer #EduSky mugmarks.study/the-cool-pro...

Great quick read to send out before a meeting. Learning Styles is something that I still see permeate the education space to the ultimate detriment of students and lesson design

Illinois lawmakers advance measure to untangle student test scores from teacher evaluations www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025... The state has 97%+ of teachers getting proficient ratings so it's not obvious this is doing much in practice anyway (besides the compliance stuff the article mentions).

Such a racket. No one in their right mind would buy these books in an online shop. Getting libraries to foot the cost if someone is duped into checking it out is next-level disgusting. #libraries

And just like that, my new award from the @StateDept to help Pakistan grapple with air pollution and climate change is no more, thanks to this new administration

The U.S. Secret Service says their agents came to the school to investigate a threat, not to enforce immigration laws. Their arrival spread fear in a community on high alert. www.wbez.org/immigration/...

"Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the Tribune it was in fact officers with that agency who investigating a threat in against a 'protectee' in connection with the ban on TikTok" www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/24/i...
