Literacy is a struggle because capitalism has stolen the joy of learning. But we do what we can. We modify, adjust, push back and create the space needed for curriculum to be more than dreary pages in a consumable book. #education

A mentor once shared a quote I have never forgotten with a room full of educators: "culture eats strategy for breakfast." This is the root of many of the issues and the way to solve for them, if you are brave enough.

Paging Tulsi Gabbard circa 2019.
Screenshot of a post by Tulsi Gabbard on X dated January 24, 2019. The post states that the United States should stay out of Venezuela and allow the Venezuelan people to determine their own future, arguing that the U.S. should not choose other countries’ leaders. The image shows text only, along with Gabbard’s profile photo and verification badge.

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.
 
The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

Generative AI can be useful for feedback however the feedback constantly directs us to emulate what already exists, in the same way AI has been developed. wp.me/peKPOF-eo || #EdTech #EduSky #AcademicSky #AIinEdu
Unless you prompt for feedback that guides your writing in a unique, innovative and nuanced way, the feedback will often direct you to use the same tepid language that AI uses and the same bog-standard structure.

Want to know how it’s done in culturally responsive teaching? Lean into what kids love. A 1st grader got me hooked on K-Pop Demon Hunters. Wore the shirt to school—instant connection, big smiles, deep chats, even sing-alongs. That’s how it’s done. ✨done.🎶 done.

Skip “What did you do this summer?” It can highlight inequities. Instead, ask: “What are you bringing into this year?” or “What do you hope for this season?” #InclusiveBackToSchool

“When your students are introducing themselves, ask them to share one ‘boring’ fact about themselves. This takes the pressure off of trying to think of an interesting one.” —Phillip Done, Teacher #BackToSchool #EduSky
Collage with two handwritten questions, with responses both in writing and in image format. The first question is "What did you not do this summer?" The text response is "I didn't ride a unicorn," with a cutout of a unicorn. There's also a spread of $100 bills and a Taylor Swift Polaroid. The second question is "What is a boring fact about you?" The text response is "When eating fried eggs, I save the yolks till the end," with a fried egg. There's also a faucet dripping water and a bed.
