Checking in to BlueSky now that we caught our breath after the #NCSS2024. What a great conference!
We loved connecting with so many new Tech friends! Watch for our email with our shared resources and an invite to our January meeting!

Thought-provoking...

This is a great deal! FREE! @techncss.bsky.social members get a lot out if it every year!

It's #sschat unconference day! Please join us in Room 200 at 9:45 for personalized PD with other social studies educators. #ncss2024 #ncss24

Wondrous first full day of #ncss2024!
We always forget how HUGE this event always feels, but really it's the *tiny* moments
of run-ins with colleagues from far away
of connections with strangers at an exhibition booth
of epiphanies when someone says a thing during a session

That's all priceless

Closing out Day One with @hcrichardson.bsky.social : "There is nothing more important than what all of you are doing...those of you that teach social studies have always been on the frontlines of democracy." #EduSky #NCSS2024

Less than 24 hours to the start of the #sschat unconference at #ncss2024 #ncss24. We will be in Room 200 from 9:45 to 11:15 Saturday for attendee-focused PD. Hope to see you there!

Bluesky Is Turning Into a Strong X Alternative (Gift Article) Bluesky has a hint of the old Twitter magic, but the feeling of freedom it offers might be even better.

“Most people…just want an app that works, where a bunch of people they like post interesting things at a regular clip.”

Exactly! Scrolling Bluesky at #NCSS2024 this week has been exactly this, and just want I wanted.

Never tell students or teachers that AI generates human-like output with little to no human input.

There is a legion of exploited workers making it work. #EduSky

5 steps to export Canva to Google Slides

You can save a Canva design to Google Drive and open in Google Slides. It takes several clicks, and the fonts and formatting might not match the original.

Why do this? Perhaps you want your design stored in Google Drive, or sharing/collaboration works better for you in Slides. #EduSky #EdTech

Podcasts are a popular medium, but data for computational research is limited! We introduce the Structured Podcast Research Corpus (SPoRC - huggingface.co/datasets/bli...), a large, multimodal dataset of English podcasts 🧵

Bluesky #historians, is anyone else here working on #racialcovenants? Washington is about to be the first state in the nation to have located and mapped every racially restrictive property covenant in the state. I'm with a team doing the eastern half. ewuracialcovenants.org

Help out a cool #NCSS2024 session by dropping a pin. It's easy! Hardest part is choosing which historical event to witness! 🗺️ 🗃️ #EduSky
