We’ve done PJ and some of Riordan’s other books. So good!!

Thank you! I’ll check it out

Going on a road trip with my sons aged 8 and 11 and need audio book recommendations.

Here are some of our recent reads they enjoyed: The Last Cuentista, Project Hail Mary, the Scythe series, the Hunger Games series, the Renegades series.

How have I never seen this before?!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!

You have way more self control than the people in the FB group

So good!!!

People are divided into two camps:

Those who say the cat now belongs to the new owner since the OG owner isn’t responsible since they allow him to be outdoors

vs.

Those supporting the OG cat owner who say some cats just can’t be contained indoors.

I’m living for my town FB page drama between an indoor/outdoor cat owner and the lady who’s been feeding her cat and now wants to adopt him.

It’s been 3 days and it’s more tense than anything on Netflix at the moment.

It’s pretty helpful if that’s the direction you’re going in. Our EQs have since evolved from those original ones, but IMO those original ones were better. We’re slowing going back in that direction though

Nope! But back when we first started, everyone in the department read understanding by design and we had extensive training on it so we were all on the same page

Since you know, your students pretty well, I would just suggest taking what you know they’re interested in and writing in the form of a good essential question

We asked them what they were curious about and had them write it in the form of a question. So we just chose the ones that we thought would make good EQs

Talk to your students and find out what they’re actually curious about!! That’s how we created our first set of EQs for our curriculum and they were great!

Gracias amiga!! 🥰🥰

Thank you! 🥰

No thank you. They can figure that shit out on their own. I’m not getting involved in every little squabble

Less than 2 weeks into summer break and the amount of times I’ve had to say “I’m not a referee” to my children is astounding.

Considerations for Educators As you are making decisions about the use of AI technologies in your classroom, it is important to consider the environmental impact of AI’s use: Frequent AI-powered tasks—such as automated grading, image generation, adaptive learning, and chat bot interactions—consume considerable energy and contribute to the need for more data centers in communities. You should be aware of the carbon footprint associated with AI tools and advocate for sustainable options. Where possible, schools and universities should adopt policies that prioritize energy-efficient AI models and cloud technologies powered by renewable energy. You should teach your students about the environmental impact of AI as part of learning around digital literacy. When you discuss AI ethics with students, you should include sustainability and responsible AI usage. When you create assignments and projects, you should encourage your students to explore energy-efficient AI alternatives, when possible. AI should complement, not replace, traditional teaching methods. Hybrid approaches that combine AI-driven personalization with resource-efficient teaching will help mitigate environmental costs.

Educators seem to be using AI more and more. Maybe we shouldn't.

Me sitting on an outdoor couch drinking a glass of white wine surrounded by two dogs. I’m using a pair of binoculars to spy on my local murder of crows that I’m slowly gaining the trust of through daily offerings of peanuts and cat food.

Can’t talk. Doing hot girl shit*

*watching the crows enjoy the daily feast I leave out for them

I am sick to my stomach.

I absolutely devoured this book and loved every moment of it

*love the culture for them means

Steal their culture
Appropriate their culture
Bastardize their culture
Profit from their culture

And actively deporting them. Colonization has taught them to love the culture* without loving the people.

Looooove!!!

BlueSky, show me your crow tattoos

This is a good explanation for k12 students on why LLMs shouldn’t r be used as search engines:

They did take infix though!
