This looks fun!

Our photographer Alex Kormann captured the exact moment the presses stopped for the last time in Minneapolis, ending a 158 history of locally printed newspapers.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Wow.

Awww, what a cute idea! And good luck today. Sorry about your dog. That’s rough to deal with all of it. We’re out here rooting for you to make it through the day!

Oops, yeah. 3/16

A green square border frames the words "Quick Crop" in bold, black typewriter-style font. A dashed diagonal line cuts across the corner of the frame, symbolizing the cropping action.

✂️ Quickly clean up your Google Sheets by cropping away blank rows and columns. With options like “Crop Right,” “Crop Bottom,” or even “Crop Top and Freeze,” you can trim your sheet to just the data that matters.

Thank you for saying this!

I am so curious to see what they come up with! What do YOU think will b determined as a solution? (Besides saying we need more librarians! We already know that one!)

Forcing people to use AI w/ the argument more=better is like thinking that a giant bowl of slop will magically transform into something edible by adding two drops of high quality ingredients. With AI (or on the Internet at all) you have 8 bad answers and 2 good ones, you don’t end up 2 good answers.

I say depends… depends on why you want them to read. Is the intention to learn the nuances of the language in written form? Then definitely not. But if you want to learn to enjoy books, possibly open a door into something new.. then an emphatic yes

🚀 Excited to share that I’ll be presenting at the @futureready.org #librarians 6th Annual App Smash #webinar on Nov 18 at 5pm EST! I’ll be showcasing @wayground.bsky.social for Ts to create engaging lessons & more

Is it someone's job to post photos of these dogs? Is there a submission form for employees at Amazon to submit photos of their dogs? I am pretty sure that AI handles most of it, but I like it. It at least makes AMAZON BEING DOWN mildly interesting. Good timing.

I’m really enjoying this “skills” series of articles from Edutopia!

Have you ever connected the popularity of pumpkins with their size?

“Gotta use up this pumpkin! Better think of 500 things I can make with it!”

Japan has opened its first osmotic power plant – so what is it and how does it work? The site in Fukuoka is only the second power plant of its type in the world, harnessing the power of osmosis to run a desalination plant in the city

Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡

This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity.

This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏

Thanks for the great resource!

A very thought provoking article! I use ChatGPT every day. I had not really taken the time to define what I am doing with it, but this article sheds some light on how to consciously build your skills with working with LLMs. Nice job!

Our FIRST ever Bluesky #slowchat is happening on Sunday! join on your timeline for some good conversation on #BacktoSchool. Prompts will be released for an hour starting at noon PST!

Tell your #edusky and #mathsky friends!

This is tragic.

Thanks, Steve!

Ever wanted to have a book club just for teachers? Shake Up Learning is an edtech podcast I have listened to on and off for several years. It's a great podcast! Now they have a book club...

Thanks for posting this! I missed it but I will definitely check it out. I love getting great ideas!

So the percentage means how much they are used? What percentage of people use them? I am a bit confused.
