Proof I am not a complete #AI hater, I used Gemini Notebook to make this video to teach probability to sixth-graders. It supplements the game, Sam Hates Farms, which will be out next week - youtu.be/Hy-IDB5iy9g #mathed #middleschoolmath

Are you all doing anything for #HispanicHeritageMonth ? For 7 Generation Games, Diana Sanchez made a Spanish-language webinar to explain 7 Gen Blocks. Going to watch it after I get done with meetings this afternoon

I left the old site and hoped to find a new sort of edutwitter here, but a lot of the accounts I looked at it to follow have posted less than a half-dozen times this year. :-(

I liked my video on probability with guinea pigs but a teenager told me that it was "cringe" - youtu.be/r1w8MQe6m3k?...

Making game for K-3 to teach speaking and understanding Diné language. It's a new challenge to create a game that uses no text.

We make it seriously easy to make a game without coding. Any time you are a little lost, click the question mark at the bottom of the page and a handy help box pops up #gamedev #edtech

Help screen that pops up on splash block when you click on the ? It says if your image includes text do NOT click the box next to "use title text"

My suggestion is to cancel your subscription to any media company that refers to Lake Ontario as Lake America.

I had two accounts on #facebook, one people I met and one anyone who asked to be my friend. I had a total of ~7,000 "friends". I dropped one account & then the other. Or website visits at 7 Generation Games have gone up. So much for FB driving traffic. Also a waste of time IMO

Went to the Concert for Venezuela at the Hollywood Bowl last night and it was amazing. Which reminds me today is the last day to donate as part of the Juntos para Venezuela game jam. You don't need to make/ play a game to donate - tiltify.com/wfpusa/wfpus...

I seem to be going backwards on technology, using terminal and the command line more than ever. Some of these GUI solutions seem like they would take longer to learn than Linux. Instead of figuring out what that icon means, I'll just use curl

Went to #yosemite big time and met the woman who made this basket in the museum. (The basket was in the museum, she was in the round house.) Her daughter estimated it took her a year (!) because she has to create each strand from a stem

When I was getting ready for the Camino de Santiago, I did a lot of walking and listening to podcasts. One of my favorites was Professor Game. I even was on one episode - www.professorgame.com/podcast/311/ I forgot I had told him about being in juvenile hall! I usually don't talk about that

Being an ally can be hard sometimes. You get yelled at by a LOT of shitheads just for speaking up. But not giving money to hateful people/organizations actively making the lives of those you claim to care most about worse? That's the easiest fucking part of allyship. If you can't give up that...🤷

I often think how much better off people would be if we learned to listen to each other. Rather than, "That's a stupid idea" saying, "Tell me more about your plan to make that happen." - and mean it, not in a sarcastic way

Wishing a happy 90th birthday today to mathematician Geraldine Darden. In 1967, she became just the 14th Black woman to earn a PhD in mathematics, inspired by the new opportunities in STEM created by the Space Race, and was mentored by Marjorie Lee Browne at NCCU! #BlackWomenInSTEM #MathSky 🧮

I don‘t understand why more game developers and designers aren’t interested in making educational games. I can’t imagine that there is nothing they care about teaching. I made a game about poll tests to encourage young people to vote. Could have been better but I had limited time

My account on Facebook got cancelled & when I appealed, I was permanently banned because my ID does not match the name on my account because, guess what, after being married 10 years, I changed my name. Oh well. See ya, Facebook.
