These were mine!

They feel REALLY behind the game here. Like, this is no longer "new" technology.

Cover of the picture book "How Sweet the Sound: A soundtrack for America" which features illustrations of famous black musicians.

So exited about Kwame Alexander's How Sweet the Sound picture book!!💗GREAT jumping off point for 8th grade SS inquiry units on how historical Black experiences impacted music genres - pair w/ Carnegie Hall's Timeline of African American Music. www.carnegiehall.org/Explore/Arti... #TlSky #EduSky

Have any legacy database providers (EBSCO, GALE, etc.) started utilizing AI to enhance search experience for students? I want students to be able to manipulate the reading level of a text, create a summary, generate bullet points, etc. Where are these features?? #TlSky #EduSky

"Multiple AI platforms now offer tools to leave AI-generated feedback on students’ essays. Which raises the possibility that AIs are now evaluating AI-generated papers, reducing the entire academic exercise to a conversation between two robots — or maybe even just one."

Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College ChatGPT has unraveled the entire academic project.

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate." "Already, roughly half of all undergrads have never experienced college without easy access to generative AI." <- Behind a paywall, but worth the $4 #TLSky #EduSky

Of course it's Costco!

Where does one get a Plinko machine?!

Ohh I like this!

Hey PLN - looking for 🎧 podcasts on three topics: 📖1) AI created picture books (preferably from a library perspective) 📃2) AI & it's impact on the research paper, ⚖3) Academic Integrity in the world of AI

Heard anything lately that might fit the bill?

TEXAS VOTERS PUNISH BOOK BANNERS AT THE POLLS This was a statement election.

My write-up of Saturday night's shellacking of Texas book banners. This was a statement election: Lawmakers, pay attention. substack.com/home/post/p-...

That's a fun way to celebrate!

"...then they should be crowded together in the impure atmosphere of a small room to sit 6 hours on hard benches while the teacher, with her utmost exertion, can devote only but a few moments to each." (2/2)

Issues in education endure! In 1866 the board of Ed of our local district reported that they were moving students to 1/2 days due to overcrowding. They said "It is much better that children should have good instruction half of each day ... (1/2) #TLSky #EduSky

Grateful to already have documents in place like NY's LibraryReady AI scope and sequence -- which was developed and written by teachers and school librarians. Strong emphasis on ethics, environment, etc. libraryready.ai Hopefully existing tools like this fit the bill! #TLSky #EduSky

library circulation desk with an arch of paper plate flowers in pink, blue, yellow and purple hung on the wall above the desk

Jumping on the colored paper plate flowers bandwagon for this month's circ desk installation. Bright, easy to assemble and cheap! #TeacherSky #TLSky

Love the idea of building a puzzle...

"They stand dangerously at the frontlines of curiosity, creativity, compassion, and the fight for a better tomorrow through what we imagine today.

So go ahead. Underestimate them, but do so at your own peril." #TLSky

That looks really fun!

Anyone using AI tools specifically for World Language teachers? Would love some of the functionality of NoteBookLM, esp the ability to produce audio output--but with accurate accents and pronunciations. #TLSky #EduSKy

Thanks for sharing so generously!

That's awesome! I'm wondering how it would work in a US suburban elementary where less than 1% of the population is Muslim...might have to give it a try! Can you tell me a little bit about what your other stations were?

This is so cool! Can you tell me more about your student population?

google slides walking students through a restorative approach to academic integrity violations

What's the plan when students use AI to cheat? We're trying something new - restorative justice style reflection sessions. Students review the code of conduct expectations about academic integrity in kid-friendly language, then reflect on harm they've caused & how to repair that harm. #TLSky #EduSky

I like to think that Wednesday Adams and Prunella would have been childhood besties. Love this book for Halloween when a Halloween title doesn't work. There's a fun YA title called "A Deathly Compendium of Poisonous Plants: Wicked Weeds and Sinister Seeds" that pairs well with this!

Looving document tabs for research projects -- so much better than one jumbo document or multiple documents -- and when you add emojis to the tab labels -- it's even better!

That's a great idea!
