There are definitely two types of search literacy, digital and analog. There's no reason to look for last names first in a digital search world. So how could they know? It's like needing to lift the receiver of an old phone BEFORE dialing! #bfc530

I have a closet full of manipulatives (I teach University math-ed majors) and we'll turn to those if we're not already using them! My classes focus on discussion and group interaction, so we might have to miss a Desmos activity or my slides, but they may not even notice. #bfc530

There are actually 140!
November 23, 2024 at 3:55 PM
No. I'm a little crazy, but not that crazy
November 23, 2024 at 3:54 PM
Sure! It's actually 140!

Same. It's like a less granular sand bottle art

That's one of the things I love about these conversations. I never would have considered that but because we're having this chat now I can!

This was packed by a person! Does that change your estimate?
November 23, 2024 at 3:36 PM
There is! The white cap comes down but isn't solid
November 23, 2024 at 3:35 PM
good question. It seems it may be tougher to pack it this well, so maybe that's why!

It wasn't intended for the geology sub, however, I'm all for interdisciplinary conversations :)

Well, your math is off by a bit :)

Solid Guess. How'd you get there?

like calculators, computers, email, the internet, YouTube, etc. It can be a powerful tool if used well or a major detriment if not.
Half of the PD I do with teachers is helping them understand the tools they use better so they're not out there frying eggs in a crockpot ;) #bfc530

that's why we need shift AI use.
Before: Student has AI Write a paper on Huck Finn for them

Now has AI Summarize each 1/3 of HF. Summarize the summaries. Name theme connecting HF to Today. Write 5 paragraph essay connecting theme to HF.
Student: Analyze essay based on your understanding.

We will hear a range of "it will kill education" to "It will be the best thing for education" for a long time. I'm excited about one thing. I think AI will boost creativity and problem solving skills for teachers and students. But it doesn't have to be a war between them. Boost it together! #bfc530

Exactly! I'm looking forward to that feel from social media again

When I joined the social media platform that shall not be named I found Ts who shared freely & others who accepted that or moved on. Recently, no on moves on, they punch down on the share. We need more "this is for me!" or "This is what I've seen" and less "why would you share that" #slowpopupchat

A1: I definitely want to reconnect with teachers who inspired and rejuvenated me as well as make new connections, too. I love learning something new every day and sharing that wherever I can. X became unfriendly. I want Bluesky to be kind, hopeful, and educational. #slowpopupchat
