chatOAME now has a *GeoBoard* visualization... Along with Desmos, GeoGebra, Polypad, and Graspable Math, we're really starting to fill in the visualization gaps that LLMs leave especially in a subject like math where noticing relationships is so important. What's still missing, #onted #mtbos?
I ran into a teacher who had never heard the phrase "productive struggle" before, and encouraged the presenter to copyright it immediately, so taken by it (law teacher).
It was coined by the awesomeJames Heibert in the late 2-noughts & forms a great argument against AI
There is a VAST difference between #AI access in independent schools & public schools which is only widening the equity gap! That doesn’t even factor in the fact that so many voices & cultures are missing from training data! via @heidisiwak.bsky.social @ecooorg.bsky.social #Edusky #dreamforward
The inestimable @pbeens.bsky.social the maker of more custom GPTs than any #onted teacher I know.

My favourite use for #AI this year?
I used the Santa emoji for an activity and needed the back of his head, so I asked ChatGPT to give me the image:

Love Christmas! My colleague made these Christmas Tree cupcakes to share. I'm enjoying it while I invigilate this end of term AP Calculus test.
Me (reading blogpost): Ugh, this is just AI slop.
Author: It's my work!
Me: No, I'd really like to read your work, but not AI's homogenization of it (It was formatted exactly like ChatGPT, em-dashes abound, "not this but this" structures, etc).
Author <blocks me>
Yeah, I remembered she was on on the battleship... I should have remembered she is Cher! :)
I was making a #OneNote Page for my Gr 10 class and we were turning back time to a previous topic to use in our new problem.
I tipped Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time" in as a side-note.
Then I played the video.. and quickly deleted it.

Little too racy.
Learning happens best when teachers look students in the eye, not look down on them.
Dialogue, not authority, engenders well-being.

"Learning to be taught" (the required compliance for reasonable management and safety, that becomes an overwhelming aspect of schools) is not equal to "Learning to learn" (Learning as a practice of freedom)

Sorry, #AI ... the document is LONG because it's important, and the text has been chosen deliberately to convey meaning by the author. I don't need Reader's Digest abridged and condensed versions.
LLMs are injective and invertible.
They show that different prompts always map to different embeddings, and this property can be used to recover input tokens from individual embeddings in latent space.
Paper: www.arxiv.org/abs/2510.15511
Me: And after you substitute into the equation, it's just arithmetic.
Student: What's arithmetic?
Thank you, that was a fun diversion!
Public embarrassment has always been a powerful motivator for me, too.
Slide shows: "Solve (x^2 -5x +5)^(x^2 -9x +20) = 1
NIM: 4 pile game - Draw 4 piles of dots, one has 8, one has 4, one has 2, and the last has 1 dot. - You can take as many as you want each turn, but only from 1 pile. - The winner takes the last dot. Do you see a winning strategy?
Two things from #NCTMatl25 that I'm going to be using *this* week:
Gail Burrill's algebra problem, and @gwaddell.bsky.social and Ed Keppelmann's 4 pile Nim.
I'm excited for my #AI schedule tonight at #ExplorAItion !
