Prep Middle Graders and STEM Students for AI’s Impact Now Anne Jolly looks at how generative Artificial Intelligence works, what students can do with it, what to be cautious about, and how AI is shaping their futures.

PREPPING OUR STUDENTS FOR AI'S IMPACT.

I’ve spent enough time listening to true crime podcasts to grow into someone who couldn’t care less about Ted Bundy but is genuinely curious and cares about victims of those violent crimes, often unidentified.

Laurah Norton is a brilliant writer and has so much insight into this topic!

Retired (sometimes) and one of three Democrats in my small Alabama community. (If there are more they aren’t β€œout.”) Miss having like-minded folks to have an intelligent conversation with!

She has 2! One for fun–One Strange Thing. The other is true crime– well researched stories about the missing & unidentified, many from marginalized communities– The Fall Line. Some of the episodes there background the story told in her 2023 book, Lay Them to Rest. Proud dad! bsky.app/profile/leni...

We are about to be a part of the most vivid and vicious expression in modern times of the richest among us grabbing as much as they can for themselves, no matter how much pain they cause. Out of this must come a renewed and intensified opposition and commitment to the common good.
