I'm often struck how so much is made about "preparing kids" to work and learn in ways that, frankly, schools often don't know about & aren't setup to support. 🤷🏼‍♂️

So if the place we're "preparing students for" looks and functions like this, what then?

OMG OAME WOW!!💪🇨🇦 It felt really really special to be welcomed in my home province with open arms by math educators who are literally being the change we all wish to see, every single day. The energy in the room was INSANE yesterday. I am so grateful. You guys are my heroes💖🙏✨💪

Compliment.

Great times!

h/t to @themathguru.bsky.social and @realjmitchell.bsky.social for being good sports and letting me capture the moment. And to @natbanting.bsky.social for being in the frame doing other things. 😆

Having too much fun with the upgraded image generator in chatGPT.

Did some #ThinkingClassroom work today with solving algebraic equations.
“I’m thinking of a number and if I add five to that number then multiply the whole thing by 2 the answer is 16. What’s the number I’m thinking of?”

I miss having my own class…

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition.

Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.

How one Ontario school board is getting teachers to try AI in the classroom Advocates say generative AI can be a powerful instructional aid if teachers know how to use it. These workers are teaching them how to

Any of my online pals at the reading for the love of it conference right now?

Question:

If you claim to support human rights in Canada & specifically 2SLGBTQI+ human rights, then why are you doing virtually nothing to stop Catholic school boards (ie. 1/3 of Ontario's public ed system) from teaching students, in effect, that it's a sin to be 2SLGBTQI+?

This was fun.
Photography class took photos.
English class wrote descriptive paragraphs about the images.
I partnered with the teachers to run the descriptions through an AI image generator.
The results were put on display at the end of the semester art show.

Yesterday I made the worlds cutest tree diagram.
I used chatGPT to make the images and Adobe Express to remove the backgrounds.

The great rewiring: is social media really behind an epidemic of teenage mental illness? The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety — and rising hysteria could distract us from tackling the real causes. The evidence is equ...

Start here if you want to share info w/ folks to help blunt the harm of Haidt's The Anxious Generation:

"Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more."

Part of a Desmos graph showing a family of parabolas. The edges of the parabolas form a nearly-continuous curve which is also parabolic.

The other physics teacher at my school noticed that when you graph projectile trajectories for a fixed launch speed at various angles, the parabolas produce a nice envelope which we could tell was ALSO a parabola. We'd never noticed that before! #ITeachPhysics

Not super deep.
“Provide more time”
“Provide collaboration opportunities”
But that was more my fault than the AIs fault. Next time I’ll ask more specific questions when collecting feedback.

Last week I used Notebook LM to analyze 600+ teacher responses to the Professional Development day we had a week previous. Then I generated podcasts tailored to each individuals schools admin team…including next steps.

Thanks Mary.

Said goodbye to her tonight.
She was a good dog.

I’ve built a bunch with students. They always turn out amazing.

You might have seen George Hart’s templates for these types of activities?

I’d love the file to make my own…

Cardboard or wood?
It’s perfect.

This is hilarious.

Is it different based on which country you are in?
