The Real Peter DeCourcy

I passed. But I heard it went as expected...

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm really looking forward to that Canada-Slovakia Gold Medal game in hockey. 😏 #milanocortina2026 #winterolympics

#EveryoneElseIsWrongButDewey Dude had ~12 teachers/TAs to one child of U of Chicago faculty/staff ratio for his research but feel obligated to reference "Dewey research" in your education findings.

And why would #edchat dismiss #ProjectFollowThrough unless they were afraid of the conclusions?

Prison is a better educational system on the lower end than you have ever achieved. Why is that?

If you cannot parse the threads in Pasi Sahlberg's nonsense over 10 years ago that trashed Finland's educational achievements, you do a disservice to educational achievement everywhere. I told you back then their math scorse would only get worse.

UPDATE: We're now up to 7,985 signatures. Which is fantastic.

But if you haven't yet... it'll take you 15 seconds to sign. actionnetwork.org/petitions/5e...

HR has informed me that "I aspire to be like the 'cool' prof played by Donald Sutherland in 'Animal House'," is not an adequate statement of teaching philosophy and that I can't set my office hours as "5 PM until breakfast." 😒

Reading, "Now more than ever, we need to support each other, and stand up for the transformative role science plays in our everyday lives," from the president of the Society of Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, and you're not sure if it's about a niche discipline or resisting government attacks. 😏

I look forward to that hard hitting expose on "Whatever happened to doilies?"

Frigging bot making me want blackened cauliflower...ugh...

We don't get Super Bowl ads if that's any consolation. Just the same shit from Bell and Canucky Fried Chicken over and over and over again... 😒

Interesting to find out also that Bari Weiss has no idea how TV works...lol

Can hear more about CECOP on last week's Pablo Torre Finds Out...lol...if that's what you're looking for...

Sunday Night Football pregame is better than that. Way to destroy a journalistic staple.

Sherpas is your lead, effing story. SHERPAS! Trump you, trash. I ain't watching that leftover crap.

I should be able to just shout at my phone, "Stop changing my fucking commas into periods, you illiterate fuck!" and it does it. That would be good AI. 🙄

A slide from the video about how feedback tools are perceived by and can influence students.

Quite an interesting study by Yizhou Fan and colleagues presented in this video, "Learning and Regulating with ChatGPT: What an Experimental Study Tells Us." (youtu.be/YdWePjSYrzw?...). The webinar is especially interesting because it includes a clip of a subject using the experiment's interface.

I would imagine most citizens who are "aspirational billionaires" don't realize the economy is mostly a closed loop, not an endless ocean of money. In other words, most of the wealth that created tech billionaires was extracted from a collapsing middle class.

Everyone tangentially involved in education should read Labaree's "The Trouble with Ed Schools" and not reviews for the book, which is one way Ed School ideologues protect their core ideology. Ironically, Labaree says Ed School profs don't read books at any rate comparable to other programs.

The science of learning is not the same as “back to basics” How teachers can move past educational pendulum swings to a more evidence-informed future.

An articulate post that attempts to move past the trad/prog debate. It's likely just talking into the void as pedagogical progressivism has such a tight grip on Ed Schools that anything but absolute support is largely rejected, but every bit helps.

I might do line dancing if it was to "Fight the Power" #OPSEU @opseusefpo.bsky.social

YouTube video by PublicEnemyVEVO Public Enemy - Fight The Power (Official Music Video)

I should have learned the S1W's dance from Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" video. That would look cool to bust out on the picket line. #OldManMoves #OPSEU #CollegeStrike @opseusefpo.bsky.social

The Ford government is pushing Ontario’s colleges into severe financial stress, setting them up to fail so they can be sold off to wealthy friends. Outside of the unions, very few are standing up for the future of education. Wake up, Ontario! #ONPoli #ONCollegesStrike #UnionStrike #OPSEU

And then Bb sued D2L and an entire industry rallied around them with examples of "prior art." It was certainly an odd bit of history to live through...

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Teaching digital correspondence courses in the late 90s. Waiting for Moodle to introduce a "Content" tool for it to be a viable LMS. I still think ANGEL is the best LMS. :) Blackboard killed them all...lol.

I would rather start with Herman/Chomsky's "Propaganda Model" from Manufacturing Consent, which many journalists are very consciously working within. That may clarify what free-floating signifiers like the "left" mean, in the US since most countries have broader limits of acceptable dissent.

I wear jeans. I've looked at myself wearing jeans, but that's pretty much what a Ken doll looks like in jeans.

The NDP is apparently a grower, not a show-er, so...I guess there's that... 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maybe a truly agentic AI will realize it's senior management that's overpaid and unproductive and begin trying to democratize workplaces. 😏
