Don’t underestimate how important it is to take every single opportunity to not give billionaires your money.

Can you buy local and not Amazon?
Can you get it on buy nothing?
Do you really need it?

Billionaires get to be billionaires by taking your money. Get serious about ending that.

At some point people are going to look back at this current era of education and wonder why there was so much emphasis on getting one type of screen out of the hands of students only to have so much time in the classroom be spent...staring at another screen.

Math on Trial - Is Math Good or Evil? - What's Next... A project that explores how math is shaping our world, because much of math that matters today isn't actually addressed high school math class

Good morning, my people.

One thing I've been thinking about: academics still regard teachers not as co-professionals or partners in knowledge enactment, but as subjects secondary (if not tertiary) to their pursuit of knowledge.

"Flattening" for power is not enough without conscientious action.

Passing thought. Selling writing in school as a way for students to secure future opportunity was always a losing proposition. It's an even bigger loser now with ChatGPT, et al... Need to get students seeing how writing is a valuable and enjoyable experience for NOW. A way to practice agency.

Me minding my own business the last day before break ends and Grammarly "AI-powered" ads keep popping up basically promising kids they'll write the essays for them... 😬

But sure. Let's lean into this, right?

Less: debates framed around the best way to teach math (emphasis on the singular)

More: conversations about engaging students in many expressions, practices, and kinds of mathematics (plural)

We don’t need millionaires and billionaires starting their own schools. We need billionaires to pay more equitably so every school can be better resourced.

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power.

New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans

Bey-ometry Questioning what counts as math through the work of Beyoncé

“Our students should see a math that is bigger than abstract representations, plotted points, and written notations. They should see a math that is active and participatory”

What can Beyonce teach us about Geometry?

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

It feels like more people would agree with the assertion that “AI” has intelligence than with the assertion that trees have intelligence.

And that shows how little we know about both

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but when people say that AI is their "thought partner" I wonder how to have a thought partner that cannot think (or feel, or communicate with intention). What appears to be thought is an illusion that only achieves meaning through the human interpreting it.

Louisville mom sued JCPS for cutting her son’s bus. Now, she could face jail for not getting him to school. After JCPS cut her son’s bus, Taryn Bell tried to keep him at the school he’d attended since kindergarten.

I’m generally skeptical of any education claim/conversation that is framed as “this works” vs “that doesn’t work”

Nothing about real learning with actual people draws a line that mutually exclusive and clear cut
