@lakesuperior.bsky.social I came here to tell you that you are quite famous on Threads! We sure would love the lady of the lake to grace us with her presence there 🥰

@dell.bsky.social This is an analysis by a Harvard educated lawyer, community organizer and bookstore owner in Buffalo and it's spot on.

Thanks for sharing! Random question—do you think if Google has to sell Chrome we will see it change for the worse? 🥺

Also thanks for the shares. I’ve printed out the PDF of the paper so I don’t have to squint at my phone😆

I know what LLMs are. I prefer ones that do not use student or industry data to train their models, like Copilot. I’m not advocating for open use, and it’s necessary to be critical, but it cannot be dismissed out of hand either.

I’m not referring specifically to OpenAI, and tbh I prefer other AI programs to ChatGPT, AI is increasingly woven into every system and program we use. How are we supposed to ignore that in the classroom? Our students sure won’t be. I’d rather address it and teach proper use scenarios and prompting.

Are you arguing against teaching our students to use AI?

I read that the new digital divide is between those who know how to use AI effectively and those who cannot. I feel like we are doing a kids a disservice if we don’t talk about it and appropriate use scenarios both now and in the future.

I cringed when I saw this. Feels like when the computer came out and people argued against its use in classrooms. How are our students supposed to compete for jobs against those who can leverage AI?

A sunny library filled with students sitting in small groups.

Today was library day. This is a day when my students and I spend the whole class period in the library. They get to read, catch up on assignments, even do work for other classes. I get to confer, answer questions, suggest books, and sometimes just work alongside them. It’s a good day. #EduSky

Taking part in this chat was so incredibly rejuvinating and invigorating. I'm organizing my deck.blue today and reviewing all of the amazing ideas shared last night, and I can't wait to share my learning with others! #Eduskychat for the win.

This is fantastic, thank you for creating/sharing!

I still love Flippity too! SOOO many ways to use it!

Thank you for organizing and moderating! Feels good to do this again, it’s been years!

Thank you for all of your amazing work in this area! #eduskychat

I’m seeing a ton of Notebook LM from you all, which is on my list too! I’m also wanting to play with AI meeting transcription and summary tools. #eduskychat

A2: School.AI, MagicSchool.AI, and Khanmigo are the new AI tools we have been slowly adopting. We love the teacher time saving super powers of them! #eduskychat

Ooh good to know, thank you for sharing!! #eduskychat

And now, with secondary classrooms if you use it as a Flip substitute! #eduskychat

All my teachers miss it, so I’ve been desperate for a free solution! 5 min max recording time, but in most cases that’s plenty! #eduskychat

A1: with Flip not an option anymore, I’ve been getting reacquainted with Seesaw for the video and audio responses and sharing ability! #eduskychat

AI coordinator? What a cool job title! #eduskychat

Hey #eduskychat
I’m Jocelynn from central MN. I’m a tech innovation specialist. Looking forward to reforming my PLN from the golden age of Twitter 😁

Shuttling my kids to their activities has been made infinitely better today with hot coffee, a cozy quiet car, and the sound of the rain.

Threads felt like that at first too, but I don't think it will always be like this :)

Cynicism Doesn’t Keep You Safe And it doesn’t mean you’re smarter or more informed

This article is a must read. I feel like it helps to address the current sociopolitical state of our nation.

Signs that you are human. You say the wrong things. You change your mind. You are unproductive and messy. You have ups and downs. You feel unsure at times. You make mistakes. Picture by Nikki Miles.

A little reminder. Be kind to yourself, and others. #kindness #SelfCompassion
