As an American who did NOT vote for Trump, and certainly not an unelected South African billionaire, we are protesting! We are trying to stop this. But we need help! What will stop them if they continue this coup? They want it all. They want the world.

What do you think? I say: grades 3+ = inquiry through prompts and research, social-emotional learning; ai for presenting, fact checking, data analysis, and reflection. Completely personalized to drive engagement, but school will be community hub for group experiences and bubble bursting bias check.

Agree. Primary grades need performance based, hands on learning for foundational skills. Grades 3+: total reshaping pedagogy into prompting as a partner; true fact checking and what this means with deep fakes; social inquiry learning. School as community hub for sharing + challenging assumptions

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

Ok, so this is the next step. Eliminate the competition from TikTok to use the asset he acquired and previously shut down.

I am so sad that I called this one. The big question now is: what is the long game? And when can we finally know about the #DiorBags?

to recap:
β€” Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
β€” which the GOP Congress passed
β€” and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
β€” and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
β€” so that Trump could "save" it
β€” and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

I am 41 (almost 42) so I already feel so late! But I’ve been working as a teacher and principal… now looking at a PhD in education. Will that hurt me if I wanted to be a professor in the future, preparing future teachers?

PhDs who got their higher degree by research (especially in Australia): what do you know now that you wish you would’ve known? #academicsky #edsky #phd #australia #australiabluesky

SUNY to mandate civic discourse and AI education for students The State University of New York will require students to learn about civic discourse and artificial intelligence next year.

How interesting! At a time when gen Ed requirements are being questioned, SUNY is adding to the list.

It is also validating to see, because at Penn State we are working on incorporating AI literacy objectives into the Comm basic course.

Act as an experienced [subject, e.g., U.S. History]. Create a detailed sub plan for an 80-minute [enter grade level] class period. Guide students through a self-directed activity related to [content you are covering].

Provide a warm-up activity (5-10 minutes) that engages students and introduces the day's topic.
Outline the main task (50-60 minutes) with step-by-step directions that students can follow independently. Ensure it aligns with critical thinking and skill development appropriate for [grade level, e.g., juniors]. Include links to external resources or materials that students can easily access. 
Base the activity off of [enter a link to your course content, a primary resource, or describe a book chapter].
Include a wrap-up activity (5-10 minutes) task that students submit to [platform, e.g., Canvas] by the end of class to demonstrate understanding.

Struggling to find a practical way to use AI? Or know teachers facing the same challenge? Here's a tip:

πŸ‘‰ Next time you need sub plans, ask AI.

Customize the response for your voice, context, and preferences. #EduSky #AiEDU
