There’s no silver bullet to keeping students on track and disruptions at bay—a 2021 study notes that being an effective teacher “requires the adaptive application of a repertoire of different classroom management strategies.” Check out my latest on @edutopia.org: www.edutopia.org/article/smal...

as a person who Draws, it can be tempting to lean into that as a way to solve every visual problem. To avoid too much samey-ness in our web art I've been challenging myself to find new ways to make illustrations! Photos, stock, and public domain artifacts have all been a blast to experiment with!

Really great post by @jamesbedford.bsky.social on @edutopia.org today about his monthlong break from AI tools. (featuring some neat hero art by the amazing guillemcasasus.com !) www.edutopia.org/article/down...

What a 30-Day Break From AI Taught Me About My Teaching
Using AI had become second nature for this educator. A month without the tools gave him an opportunity to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.

Thanks so much for this! How do you find it handles colors or textured paper? I'm sure a lot of it is user error but I have so many bad memories of scanning cold-press watercolor and the scanner over-emphasizing the paper texture.

Chelsea Beck @chelseabeck.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Alright I'm back over here now! Artists, what are your favorite scanners? is large-format worth it? I'm considering an old, used epson but I'm unsure.
