I'm often struck how so much is made about "preparing kids" to work and learn in ways that, frankly, schools often don't know about & aren't setup to support. 🤷🏼‍♂️ So if the place we're "preparing students for" looks and functions like this, what then?

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition. Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.

This was fun. Photography class took photos. English class wrote descriptive paragraphs about the images. I partnered with the teachers to run the descriptions through an AI image generator. The results were put on display at the end of the semester art show.

The other physics teacher at my school noticed that when you graph projectile trajectories for a fixed launch speed at various angles, the parabolas produce a nice envelope which we could tell was ALSO a parabola. We'd never noticed that before! #ITeachPhysics www.desmos.com/calculator/l...
Part of a Desmos graph showing a family of parabolas. The edges of the parabolas form a nearly-continuous curve which is also parabolic.

I guess two questions 1) If the articles are freely accessible how can they claim unfair use? 2) How is this different than using freely available articles to teach a class of students how to write?

The #math community seems to be growing here and becoming more active. I have presented on how to get the most of being in a community like this many times and here are my tips to grow this PLN and make it useful for educators. Bonus Tip - Use the Feeds: #MathChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath #MathSky
Tips to move beyond a “lurker”
(and/or start to interact with the Online Math Community)
Like        - Who benefits: You (it acts like a bookmark) & the Poster (“Yay someone liked what I said”)
Repost          - Who benefits: You (it acts like a bookmark), the Poster (“Wow, they liked enough to share it”) &  the rest of us (Reposting sends it back to the top of the feed increasing the chance of your followers and their followers to see it)
Comment         - Who benefits: You (interaction brings more friends and knowledge), the Poster (the conversation they started continues) & us (entices us to become part of the conversation too)
Post        - Who benefits: You (sharing thoughts and resources help to hone your own ideas) & Everyone else (the more discussion, the higher the chance we all learn)
Tips for making your Posts more visible:
Add an image - including a visual has been shown to increase the interaction
Include hashtags (not too many) - a hashtag categorizes your Post and makes it visible to a wider audience than just your followers. Here are some math related hashtags that relate to education: #MathChat #MathsChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath #ElemMathChat #MathArt #MathSky
Tag some people (not too many) - you can tag relevant people (even those who don’t follow you) in the Post or in the Image to increase the conversation potential

Ditto for me. I could forgive people for not seeing things clearly back on October 7th, but after all this time, everyone knows what's happening. If you're defending Israel, you're defending genocide. It's really that simple.

This week I used Notebook LM to create a conversations based on some PD slides I used and the 60+ exit passes I collected for a day of learning. The conversation was a summery of the slides and exit pass feedback. This audio was shared with attendees. It was an awesome summary of learning.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.
