While students are taking finals, I'm trying out grouper.school. I'm not really a techie and usually give up on new tools in 5 minutes.This one is different-super easy to import rosters into #grouper from Powerschool-It's intuitive, simple, versatile. #EduSky #grouping @groupercooper.bsky.social
Love that! I had never read it until I "had" to teach it one year to 12th graders--they called it "life-changing" and I totally agree.
Love this book. It changed my mind about non-fiction.
Me too! Just wanted to see what would happen--we found a certain liberation when we removed the audience and external motivators.
Yes! It's also liberating to know that no one will ever read it. It was also a good reminder to students how much an audience impacts their writing.
It worked!
Today my ELA students and I wrote poems tore them up without showing anyone. Why? To enlarge our souls per the advice of #kurtvonnegut #EduSky images.app.goo.gl/fFKVT9oomjzh...

Sometimes I think my job as a teacher can be summarized by the famous opera scene from "The Shawshank Redemption" #EduSky youtu.be/bZqszy5UffU?...
Today my ELA class is analyzing this clip as a metaphor for the power of the arts.
Normally I use this clip from #bladerunner to teach simile but today we're inquiring about the differences between ChatGpT written poetry and the poetic dying words of an android (replicant) #edusky youtu.be/HU7Ga7qTLDU?...
Initial thoughts: one needs to spend more time with "difficult" poetry, AI poetry, while more accessible, lacks an authentic emotional core based on a lived life. AI can't achieve a level of complexity and/or subtlety without perceived intention.Our discussion morphed into what's the essence of art
Today my ELA students are processing this article and the ramifications of people preferring AI generated poetry. #edusky www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/c...
It's senior interview day--where all my students dress up and participate in mock interviews with community members. Part of our prep is watching this Ted talk on power posing. youtu.be/Ks-_Mh1QhMc?... #edusky
Love the ELO reference!
Love it! Whenever there's a bookshelf pic, I have to read every title. #intothewild is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!
Such a great question. I've been pondering this my whole career...
Your students' stories DO impact how & what they learn in your class. You need to learn their stories & care about those stories. #edchat #edusky
