Yes. Sources should always be cited, credit should always be given, effort should always be acknowledged and work should always be compensated.

Anything else is hiding something.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Game Design: Student has a game balancing Industry, Technology & Ecology. Mechanics are solid but UI needs help.

He's in that lovely space of QA testing, getting assets, polishing the game

S:"Why does this have to be so much work?"

Me:"Why should great be easy?"

The AI cheating panic is loud. The way students actually use ChatGPT is much quieter. After interviewing 50+ Cal Poly students, a clearer picture of AI use on campus emerges

"Students trust what they see in their own circles — mostly boring, responsible use — but the second they zoom out to “everyone else,” the narrative takes over. It’s easier to believe the loud story you’ve been told than the quieter one you’re actually living."

Nothing grates me more than when AI game dudes are like "Don't you wish you could ask an NPC aNyThInG?" Absolutely fucking not. If you don't understand that every piece of writing is made with intention, character, and meaningful choice... you probaby shouldn't be directing a fucking video game.

Helping Students Understand How The Brain Works These four hands-on activities guide students to explore how their attention and memory function and how that impacts learning.

When students actually understand how the brain works, the brain-based learning strategies we introduce to them become more impactful. 🧠

As the Tech Teacher, I often help other teachers with integrating VR, 3D printing, game creation, robots, and more. I even integrate their projects into my curriculum to show it is a two way street

It's always about my helping each other.

With this release we're introducing a better AI experience 🤖
We’ve improved the chat experience with full conversation history, clearer interaction states and new layout options.
It’s now easier to follow conversations and interact without breaking your flow.

Join us tomorrow at #TheMakrLab for our #CosplayMeetup — come work on your build, connect w/other makers, & make some creative progress.

This month includes a skill session from 7–8 PM—jump in to learn something new or keep working on your project!

The "Cognitive Offloading" Paradox "If you work in L&D right now, there’s a good chance you’ve heard people asking the question: what happens when learners lean on AI too much? It’s a fair worry: the weight of evidence from the last eighteen months has pointed in one direction: cognitive offloading — letting AI do the mental work so you don’t have to — appears to erode critical thinking, reduce engagement, and weaken retention. The message has been consistent and increasingly loud: limit AI use, or pay the price. However, a new study just complicated that picture significantly — with important implications for how we design AI-supported learning."

"New research shows that offloading learning tasks to AI can improve - rather than erode - human thinking and learning" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Parent Teacher Conferences today .... 😵‍💫

In a world of Data Visualization, digital portfolios, skill trees & dashboards, how have we not come up with better means of communicating student learning than grades & report cards?

We can do so much better

#EduSky #StudentData

Three cheers to your mom and Professor Dirk!

I must admit, I have a fantastic principal & admin who support me, encourage me to teach from a place of awe & wonder, and let me let kids explore. I love my school, love my job, and am regularly grateful to do what I do.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Day 2 of VR BookReport development. Watching them distill a book down to 7+ @delightex.com scenes, working in teams, problem solving, being creative...

The people saying "Computers are ruining education" are obviously not using computers correctly.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome While we wait for Wearable Tech materials, we reverse engineered Hummingbird kits from BirdBrain Technologies.

Lots of confusion & "why doesn't this work?!" until they made the connections (literally & metaphorically).

I love a-ha moments!

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Teaching Web Design & Networking to 7th Gd. Turned a Pi 4 into a tiny server with a secret message on it. After demoing ping & traceroute I gave them the IP of the Pi.

Watching them look for the server was hysterical!

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome I show "Behind The Attraction: Space Mountain" to 6th gd Design Thinking class, to show how Imagineers use the it to do amazing things.

Seeing John Hench always inspires me to do better but be humble.

I want to be the John Hench of Education

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Teaching about HTML & the online tutorial is confusing. Pivot to a more basic tutorial with TextEdit. It fails.

Discovered they all have different settings in TextEdit.

CompSci = learning to get around security settings to stay secure. 🤦🏼

@csteachersorg.bsky.social #EduSky

Exactly! The discussions the students could have around what they include or leave out is the kind of higher level thinking that makes game based learning powerful.

Plus being Twine / html as an artifact makes curation of portfolio so much easier.

I've only done 1 play & loved it but you made the Baz Luhrman mistake. Mercurtio's death NEEDS his last lines "tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church gate, but tis enough, will serve. If you look for me tomorrow, you will find me a grave man indeed".

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome 3 more future Makers / Engineers / Developers took their first steps and soldered their first circuits.

@emmafletcher.bsky.social @acolborn.bsky.social

If I sound like I'm bragging, it's because I am. I teach some truly incredible students.

Picture of a book "it's only rocket science by Lucy Rogers"

Well if I can't plug this now, when can I?? :)

P.S. the supports and under extruded base are my fault. I was trying to conserve space on the print bed and got it wrong.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Playable Edible TicTacToe. She had to go squares & circles to fit in the 50x50x15 size limit but she made it work.

If you ever need a reminder for hope for the future, hang out in Middle School. @ellierose.me @mattstultz.bsky.social

Having played with a BEAPER Pico,I can say whole heartedly they are amazing systems with great resources and a ton of examples to get running quickly.

20% off is a bargain on top of a bargain!

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome My favorite project is students learn to solder in Wearable Tech. In part because it reminds me @emmafletcher.bsky.social & @acolborn.bsky.social are genuinely awesome people & the crew at Learn To Solder kits are encouraging kids to make great things.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Applications opened for Department Chairs next year. Writing about myself is always a struggle but this time it's an effort worth doing.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

S: How do you put a girl on an elephant?
Me: Well, first you...
S: Oh! I figured it out! Nevermind!

*20 minutes pass*

S: COME LOOK AT MY GIRL RIDING AN ELEPHANT!

This is why projects work..for the joy!
