One small hack that might be useful. If you have access to magicschool (or some other student facing AI tool) and want to give them (fully optional) review bots for them to get review for tests etc, and you have claude pro (for educators it's free this year!).

Linus Torvalds on LLM usage (in the Linux kernel project). TL;DR: it is useful so let' use it where it helps and let's not make this a religious question.

No shit, I have been laughing at this image for the past 5 minutes. Actual tears streaming down my face. Sure man, put one of these in my kid's classroom. See how that goes.

Nine years ago I wrote a series on my classroom "top four." What has changed in my teaching since then? (Spoiler: Still using vertical whiteboards, still using anonymous feedback, still got love for the streets). Classroom Top Four, Revisited: blog.recursiveprocess.com/blog/classro...

How are high school students using Generative AI? I analyzed anonymous feedback from my Precalculus and AP Computer Science classes this year. Here’s what I found about how students are integrating AI tools into their learning workflows:

More and more I think we're at a crossroads with teaching CS and AI. Working with agentic AI lately, I’ve noticed I barely touch code anymore. But knowing the mechanics of how the program works in the background? Irreplaceable.

Sometimes you think that the progress that computers have made in the past 25 years is TRULY astounding. And then you go to install windows .NET.

Two 3-fold parametric swirls — one in bright teal, and one in gray with a single curve picked out in red.

Simply wild to me that you'd advertise a 156Mhz processor and 3.5MB of memory as a *good* thing. In 2026. And in relation to the *checks wikipedia* 11 year old technology. This Moore's law guy has clearly never visited TI's headquarters.

I’m curious how educators are actually integrating AI into the math classroom. (In the classroom, not as a pseudo tutor outside of the room) How are you guiding students to use AI tools without bypassing real understanding? What does AI-assisted problem solving look like in your classroom?
