Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Our teachers are some of the most important influences in our lives. I’ll always have their backs. Team Crow joined educators from Sheridan School District to support their fight for better wages & working conditions.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Senior CTE student built me a return cart by repurposing an old AV stand. WIN!

A2: when I was a campus librarian, my students would have called the library the room of requirement. It was for quiet study or reading, making, games, karaoke, guest speakers, lessons, technology help, tutoring, events, oh, and books! #TLSkyChat

A3: I set up a 3D printer in the library window & always had something printing. It brought in curious students and I was able to give them books about additive manufacturing 😃 #TLSkyChat

Librarians and other educators have essential duties to step up & address the issue any time we believe a child is being harmed. This includes being harmed by AI, and make no mistake, it is harming not only our students, but also our adults, and our society.

“Everybody’s scared, everybody’s nervous. ... Our staff of color are carrying all their papers just in case. ... Never did I think that would be something that I would ever have to say. .. I’m sad—in disbelief and just so angry that our staff and our students are going through this.”

There are more public libraries nationwide than there are Starbucks or McDonalds, and while they don’t have the reputation for being everywhere that those stores enjoy, public libraries remain as a valuable resource that can turn an interest into a full-blown passion.

"Reclaiming teacher time with AI". Time for what? In the era of shrinking enrollment, be prepared for other duties as assigned, more students added to rosters, and fewer educational support personnel. Be very careful what you wish for; you just might get it.

Great example of failing forward and growth mindset.

Every day, write over a “spotlight” as a bellringer. They study the text, write nonstop for 5 minutes, then share their ideas in small groups. It’s an incredible collegiate-level bellringer activity that ensures every student reads, writes, and speaks every class. Tomorrow’s spotlight:

As host of the On Being radio show, Krista Tippett asked guests countless metaphysical questions. But this new year, she recommends tossing the resolutions and turning the big questions on yourself.

"Oh look, we found a way to make AI suck even more!"

This is a tremendous loss to scientists and the public.

The original Betty Boop, the first four Nancy Drew books and Greta Garbo's first talkie are among the many works from 1930 that will be free to use, share and remake starting on Jan. 1.

So, LLMs are a form of information laundering. They insulate you from the sources, which makes it impossible to judge the reliability of the source.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

Oh AI, you suck. I'd bet many people would not take a second look, pause to think critically, or even try to spot problems before passing this off, sharing it, or turning it in as an authentic product of their hard work. AI is making us stupid and lazy.

I'll eagerly await the full story in January. In the meantime, I'm increasingly alarmed at the uncritical adoption & evangelical stance of those pushing AI & its rapid incorporation into existing ed tech. To be blunt, this is not going to help students be anything but fast, sloppy, & less capable.
