First, stop it. We are <constantly> looking in the mirror & if you haven’t done any of the trainings or gone to any of the talks/meeting about that, I can’t help you.
Second, we don’t have time. We’re constantly meeting about how to survive as 25% of our budget is illegally cut off by the fascists.
A poster hangs, with a black backdrop, for The University of Georgia Press. It features several of the presses books including Alexander Hyres's Protest and Pedagogy: Charlottesville's Black Freedom Struggle and the Making of the American High School.
I'm glad to see that my book, Protest and Pedagogy: Charlottesville's Black Freedom Struggle and the Making of the American High School (@ugapress.bsky.social), made it to @oah.org, even if I'm not able to be there. If you haven't gotten your copy, then go here: www.ugapress.org/978082037532...
So you're telling me the vouchers didn't actually expand access to private schools, but instead helped line the pockets of these schools? I'm shocked.
They also served as a nice little tax payer hand out to the Republican donor class.
That's wonderful to hear. Thanks for the support!

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
I've seen this way too often lately.
More higher ed discourse like this please
VA also fueled ‘private ed is better’ narrative while funneling funding to segregation academies & rewriting tax code to defund public ed.
They also still profit from smaller financial arrangements like personalized license plates (Sons of Confederate Veterans & Robert E Lee) that need to be ended
This is wonderful news!
Woohoo, here's my essay with my fav co-author on 30,000 fellowship wins across the Guggenheim, Stanford CASBS, NAEd, National Humanities Center, RSF visiting scholar, and Harvard Radcliffe.

The story of ed tech is a repeated loop of massive hype and massive disappointment
See MOOCs, and now AI
Evidence can interrupt this unproductive cycle
The Stanford SCALE Initiative, led by rock star Prof Susanna Loeb, brings evidence to the conversation scale.stanford.edu/sites/defaul...
Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon all have headquarters in Seattle. This year the Seattle School District has an 80 million dollar shortfall.
I'd like to see more research into the uses and limitations of generative AI, before we make significant changes to how teachers teach and how students learn.
I would rather not feed the AI beast by having students input their work.
I agree that schools and teachers should have a role in helping students navigate the shifting landscape of technology. But we already ask a lot of teachers, and I'm hesitant to add another thing to their plate.
No. Educators do not NEED to incorporate AI into their classrooms. I would like to see you be transparent about any financial incentives you or the union receive from AI companies. #edtech #education
Yes, I think we need to follow the AI money with all educational institutions. The boosterism from universities, colleges, schools, unions, etc. is not just a grassroots predisposition. #education #edtech #union
This is the sort of clip you see in the opening minutes of a deeply dystopian film

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.
Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.
If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.
So must you.
A tried-and-true model from the original roll-out of Apple's bid to dominate education. Lots of "training" sessions and "free" equipment. So, when teachers were asked about what was "best" for their kids to have, they always said "Apple." They didn't know anything else. And then, Google did same.
This information should be included in every statement that AFT and @rweingarten.bsky.social makes about AI. It would be interesting to know how she is personally invested in these companies too.
Wow. That's about 10% of what they get in membership dues a year. No wonder Randi is such a booster. So much for AFT militancy.
