Turkey Day is done, so out comes Christmas. Transformed the Batmobile into a Christmas mobile. I kinda feel like I am the only one who still follows the rule of no Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving. Does anyone else still wait? #Christmas #teacherlife

"The work students ask a _____ to do is different from the work chatGPT does" remains true as AI use discourages reading, research, & thinking skills in ways Google search does not. This list gets at some of what students avoid but need extensive practice with to build skills: /2
Generative AI offers substantial shortcuts around the often tedious and time-consuming work required to research a topic, including:

Defining and articulating the information need
Overcoming information gaps and keyword-foraging problems
Weighing and selecting credible sources
Sifting through enormous amounts of information
Scanning through long pages of text
Comparing contradicting perspectives from different sources
Synthesizing and storing information (mentally or in a note).  Source: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ai-changing-search-behaviors/

Whatever Ss need, they know T Lindsay Hughes is there for them:
"When students come to me upset, I've learned to say, "Do you want to vent, problem solve, or would you like a supportive space to be silent?" Their shoulders immediately relax. Choice and autonomy [start to] provide the safety they're seeking." –Teacher Lindsay Hughes

Some thoughts on learning practices we all engage in… Copying notes ≠ Learning If your students don’t understand, more practice is not going to help. Practice with no understanding = misconceptions #Education #math #mathed #EduSky #iteachmath

We really have to stop projecting our own negative experiences onto new teachers. I'm pretty sure I've been guilty of this at times but it's incredibly counterproductive and harmful. They need support from veterans, not hopelessness. #EduSky

Maybe it is less about tools saving teachers time and more about taking less time to learn relevant practices and tools. Ask any teacher what they want from PD. Most start with: Will it help students? Yes, they want to save time, but helping students comes 1st. #EdTech #Teaching #EduSky
Teachers will invest in things they see value in.  A lot of time.
