What do you use for the stop go animation? Photos and gift maker or an app? Might do some of this with a class but they will probably use phones due to IT availability.

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search" This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!! www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.

The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

Astronomy friends, what night sky events are you looking forward to in 2025? 🔭 In 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 we've got 2 lovely total lunar eclipses (14 Mar & 7 Sept) and a 40% partial solar eclipse (29 Mar). I'm also super excited about Saturn temporarily losing it's rings in March 🤓 📷 Kevin Earp @astrokev.bsky.social

Hot-off-the-press news: this evening Dundee City Council voted to formally approve the recommendation that the Mills Observatory remains open for the public to use! Huge thanks go to Dr Gilchrist, chair of the Dundee Astronomical Society, who has worked tirelessly to secure this win 🥳🔭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

(1/3) This is 660 metric-ton tuned mass damper or as I like to call it a "gravity ball." It's job is to absorb mechanical energy and reduce vibrations. This one, in the Taipei 101 building, protects the building against typhoons and earthquakes. #Science #Engineering #Taipei #Physics 🧪⚛️🧵

Biology is seen as being easier although it isn't particularly. Physics, Chemistry and Maths are statistically harder than some other subjects. Whilst no fan of SQA our papers are decent much better than some of the English ones.

Andrew Bailey @andrewkbailey13.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Big issue is budgets in public sector reducing and staff to student numbers reducing too to save costs. Few permanent appointments due to finances despite shortages. Plus shortages not where folk live/train but in rural areas, Aberdeenshire, Highlands especially.

000

Andrew Bailey @andrewkbailey13.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Personally I don't think that is totally the case. Yes Biology numbers are higher but that has here always been the case. Plus staffing can limit the total numbers of students taking a subject due to capacity.

Not sure physics education is killed here. Albeit there are some shortages in remoter locations and we could do will more uptake although numbers are reasonable.

Andrew Bailey @andrewkbailey13.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Fortunately in Scotland, teachers need subject knowledge to be accredited by the GTCS. So physics teachers need qualifications in physics or engineering as well as teaching qualifications. My role is to help support this knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge for teachers.

Yes @daisychristo.bsky.social outlined the same point as many said in the excellent Seven Myths book which put in writing so much that I thought and hadn't seen written down before.

Andrew Bailey @andrewkbailey13.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Totally agree with your point that teacher subject knowledge is important to question students and to spot misconceptions and that will help assess if students know and understand or have used AI for their work and don't.
