Can anyone tell me what issue I had today?? 😔

I still don't quite know what to think about AI, but with manus.im I was able to create the following website and report by literally typing 'can you evaluate the best websites to help teach 8th grade civics.' Crazy in all sorts of ways, see what you think: kjsamord.manus.space

Happy St Pats from a converted Irishman!

Civics Learning Week begins: on now with 'State of Civic Education in Pennsylvania'. Great conversations with the Governor, teachers and everyone else! #sschat #civicslearningweek #civics #teaching

Now more than ever, we’re excited to participate in Civic Learning Week to energize the movement for civic education across the nation. Check out civiclearningweek.org for a full week of events highlighting why K-12 civic learning is vital for sustaining & strengthening our constitutional democracy.

There are some great events planned for Civics Learning Week--check them out here! civiclearningweek.org/events/ #sschat #civics #socialstudies

To those social studies teachers who are taking the brunt of colleague 'trauma dump' over the past month...I feel ya, you got this. #sschat

New year means civics which means civics 101 pod! excited today to use the Articles of Confederation podcast, thanks @civics101pod.bsky.social ! #sschat

I asked chat gpt to mimic the computer from Wargames. Its response was nothing short of enthusiastic: "Absolutely! I’ll channel my inner WOPR. Just start asking questions, and I’ll respond in character. 😊". Should we be worried?? #sschat #ai #edusky #wopr

Kids might not always be paying attention to what you are teaching, but they do listen to you and watch you. To the good, the bad and the otherwise. #sschat #edusky #iteachhistory

We may not be a "sage on a stage", but, we are still on a stage. #sschat #Iteachhistory #edusky

The other day a student was very excited to give me a cassette tape with the star-spangled banner recorded on it. I was very appreciative but also filled with questions I decided not to ask. Some things better left unanswered. #sschat #edusky #teaching

8th grade compliment, "Mr. Stern, you TRY to bring humor to the classroom." I'll take it. #sschat #teaching #edusky

Thoughts on consistency for teachers who are teaching the same class at the middle school level... #sschat #edusky

Hope everyone gets to where they want to be, safe travels!

We all know about the education pendulum. I am starting to see it with tech, my district was early to go 1:1, and the novelty of tech was effective in sparking interest. Now novelty comes from non tech activities. Everything in moderation I suppose. #sschat #edusky.

Some blackout poems from the Declaration of Independence. Watch out for the alien! #sschat #edusky #teaching #poetry

Using 'blackout' poetry to finsh up our unit on the Dec of independence. Great way to intereact with the text one more time. Will post some as they come in, read at your own risk! :) #sschat #poetry #edusky

We predicted the results of the electoral college in my classes this year--found it was a good, non-partisan way to teach the election. Offered a prize to anyone who got them all right---had to hand out 4 prizes, they were very excited, I was a bit poorer! #sschat #edusky #dontunderestimatestudents

For someone who really does not like people telling me how to teach, I absolutely love learning about how everyone else chooses to teach. Thanks everyone else. #edusky #sschat #teacherthoughts

This looks nice... #sschat #civics #icivics
