“Tell me what happened here?”

ROTATE! Now teachers using have an easy way to assign stations AND show students which station they should go to next. Special thanks to @catlintucker.com for her awesome guidance on supporting station rotation. We're excited to do more. What else would you like Grouper to do?

“Let’s be clear: research itself isn’t dead. Inquiry, analysis, and synthesis still matter. What’s obsolete is the performance of research—the idea that we can measure intellectual engagement by forcing students to produce a 10-page document that AI can generate in an instant.” #EduSkyAi #TLSky

Porto worked beautifully. My old Twitter posts were reposts from services like Zite and Feedly--those links didn't open.

Tried the "Porto" Chrome Extension and imported my Twitter archive to Bluesky (hence the 1K posts on my timeline now!). So much is outdated or the links are broken, but it was an interesting experiment nonetheless.

One of my colleagues has her students create a radio broadcast on a given topic from the era, including the content, sound effects, and an advertisement. I don't have a copy of her lesson plan, but I have helped her with the technology using Flip, but that is no longer an option.
