Edushare (dot) ing got attacked again and taken offline. I'm working on it, but will probably have to hire someone to make it safer. Sorry to those of you who have been using it and had problems. I hope to find a way to make this work!

Back online. Someone installed a malicious redirect, so this is why we can't have nice things 😣 I'm installing a few protective measures, so hopefully it doesn't interfere too much with how useful Edushare.ing is. Please let me know if you have problems with it!

Hi All, I've been notified that edushare.ing is down. I got flagged for "abuse" - so either there was some sort of bot attack, or the other redirect programs that are pushing ads into your free teacher resources are mad at me. Likely the first one, but regardless, I'm working on it.

Heads up that @bitlyofficial.bsky.social is going to start sliding advertisements into your links. Teachers, keep an eye out as you'll likely have no control over who those advertisers are. Looking at the state of online ads these days though, it's probably not something you'd endorse. 😩

New randomized, controlled trial by the World Bank of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. Six weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions. And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind.

Did you see this experiment my colleague Kristina conducted not just at my university but *in my department*? She and the male instructor assumed eachothers’ names for an online course: and the difference in feedback they received was horrifying.

Student Evaluations Can’t Be Used to Assess Professors. They’re Discriminatory.

As much as I love @bitwarden.bsky.social, the new design choices are really poorly thought through. Worst of all is the "fill" is now a teensy tinsy little button rather than the full (and obvious) card that filled the drop-down. Super annoying to work with now, esp when it used to be so smooth.
Screenshot of the newly designed BitWarden G.U.I. which makes it much harder to work with, displaying how small the "fill" option on "Autofill" is compared to how it used to be.
