#edusky #eduskyprimary I gotta say, educators cut off their nose to spite their face when they zoomed out of Twitter. There is no place to go that hosts educational conversation the way that it did. Ads, politics, self-promotion -- all so much a drag! (Boomer language) I miss chats. Gifs. Fun.

I wish @bsky.app had a button to completely shut off accounts from my feed. The mute and block, if I understand, are really defensive postures against having to hear more from someone I think is completely outside their rational mind. I respect everybody, I just don't want to hear from everybody.

Hello! I am lurking while getting ready for school. I love the questions, and your responses! I am a "veteran" of the #PrimarySTEMchat group with @rachaellehr.bsky.social and love #coding Hearing your perspectives is uplifting. Heading out, but wanted to say hi, and thanks! #EduSkyAu #EduSky

I dislike the currently popular "stop" terminology. If you wish to persuade others, pls show respect for their process of decision making, and be persuasive. Saying "stop doing this or that" sounds like authoritarianism or bullying to me. IMHO #EduSku #EdTech #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social

Aren't these great? A teacher in our #STEM group wanted to know where her class could get a personal Minecraft avatar for a project - I showed her these, and included the prompts for her on CoPilot. #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social @msftcopilot.bsky.social

Generally, I do not solicit donations. However, if you suffer #migraine as I do, you know that knowing local barometric pressure helps! This site is free, and helps me, so I donate. (It's also fun for #STEM weather classes!) Thanks for considering. gofund.me/4a59d3cd

I enjoy this for so many reasons. As teachers we always look for ways to engage our students. Meeting these kids where it's at. Plus it's hilarious. Grats to the teacher and the community. Turn on the volume. Be ready for chuckles. youtu.be/LyviyF-N23A #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social

The more I read, the more I love! 🥽 Right now I am reading more of @dannynic.bsky.social 's clear, straightforward discussion of models. 📊 In our #STEM classes, I emphasize models, and love inspiring students to communicate 🧮🧾 their ideas with models. #PrimarySTEMchat #EduSky @edusky.bsky.social

In our #MinecraftEDU cultural experience, our HS #coders have coined a new phrase. "I didn't know any of that because I was stuck in a mineshaft!" It's my new go-to! Everyone is saying it now. "I didn't get your homework graded because I was stuck in a mineshaft!" I love our new lingo. #GBL #EduSky

Big ideas, identifying and addressing misconceptions and the value of models! You can peek at all of this on Amazon. The book is looking great! (I used my #kindle points and snagged it!) I plan to use it to improve my #STEM classes. #PrimarySTEMchat #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social

The love for learning means both accepting and confronting the fear of failure. The zone of proximal development thrives with a heart of courage, to battle negativity. Nurturing our students and ourselves fires the coals that keep us burning bright. #EduSky @edusky.bsky.social #EduSkyPrimary

I would just like to announce that there are as many fake posts here as anywhere... So please don't be insulted if I don't follow you unless your profile says you're an educator. "Loves moonlight strolls and wants to enjoy life." You and 50 fakes, buddy. Harrison Ford is following me? Hahaha!

There is so much to recommend about this: I find it cathartic, myself. Kinder and up can practice click and drag. 3rd and up can adjust setting and assess results. Anybody can be creative and relax! #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social #PrimarySTEMchat paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-...

#ComputerScience students use #MinecraftEDU in the #Python language to place real Minecraft blocks. First, we used say commands for the elements in the array using a loop. Then we placed them. Nested loops made walls. Next, random blocks will be selected from the list. #EduSky @edusky.bsky.social
