An thumbnail for a article on teachers and Apple products. The background is black with a rainbow swirl in the center, the Apple Creator Studio logo. The text reads "Teachers are the Ultimate Creators & Apple Wants a Bite of that Market"

In honor of Apple’s birthday, let’s take a deep dive into whether Creator Studio is worth it for educators and students

Quote from Cory Doctorow saying “If you wanted to teach a chatbot to teach writing like a writer, you would – at a minimum – have to train that chatbot on the instruction that writer gives, not the material that writer has published. Nor can you infer how a writer would speak to a student by producing a statistical model of the finished work that writer has published. "Published work" has only an incidental relationship to "pedagogical communication."

“Guys it’s not a bubble, we swear!”

"Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people—they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress."
-Paulo Freire

Little Rock Nine | Digital Inquiry Group In response to the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, the NAACP selected nine African American students to attempt to integrate the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. After the students were prevented from attending the school by the governor and mobs of segregationists, President Eisenhower ordered the 101st Airborne to escort the students into campus. But what was school like for students once they arrived?

And here’s a phenomenal primary source lesson having students investigate Minnijean’s expulsion

Minnijean Brown-Trickey's Brief But Spectacular take on walking like you belong | PBS News Minnijean Brown-Trickey is one of the original members of the Little Rock Nine, the teenagers who integrated Central High School after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling. She shares her Brief But Spectacular take on walking like you belong.

History is surprisingly not that long ago. This is a great video to send students that reminder.

Teachers and students alike fall victim to this trap.

Writing is thought in its tangible form.
This one conviction may be the only thing keeping education alive today, and we need to do our part as teachers to showcase this throughout our curriculum.

ICE Needs To Get Out Of Minneapolis – Roosevelt Standard On Wednesday January 7th at 3:20 pm I was working in the wrestling basement of Roosevelt Highschool to publish an article about the tragic event that occurred earlier today in South Minneapolis when a woman was shot and killed in her car by an ICE agent. Right before doing my final edits to the piece...

Student jouralists in Minneapolis documenting ICE raids in their community like this are the most authentic demonstration for why writing still matters.
Show your students and empower them!

Profoundly mature take from 7th grader Micha on EdTech (and some FOSS alternatives) that points toward the need for schools to own their tech, not just rent it.

Evaluating Evidence on Wikipedia | Civic Online Reasoning If students learn to use Wikipedia wisely, it can be a powerful resource for lateral reading, verifying claims, and a starting point for research.

Celebrate 25 years of @wikimediafoundation.org with your teaching! The Civic Online Reasoning website (spun off from staff at Stanford) has great materials for teaching students to use Wikipedia!

It doesn’t look like this includes “sales” from services like Kindle Unlimited or library checkouts like Libby in the US. I wonder how those would affect these stats in terms of what method readers interact with text

Ugh. My money was on calibri

Great quick read to send out before a meeting. Learning Styles is something that I still see permeate the education space to the ultimate detriment of students and lesson design

We took this route at my school and (despite some initial growing pains) it’s working quite well.

Illinois lawmakers advance measure to untangle student test scores from teacher evaluations www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025...

The state has 97%+ of teachers getting proficient ratings so it's not obvious this is doing much in practice anyway (besides the compliance stuff the article mentions).

Such a racket. No one in their right mind would buy these books in an online shop. Getting libraries to foot the cost if someone is duped into checking it out is next-level disgusting.
