Took a quick trip to Chicago last week and managed to snag a game at ballparks 18 and 19 in my quest to watch a game at all 30 parks, among other Chicago attractions.

Something that is not talked about enough in the hand wringing about public education is how we have created a "market" for teacher education where the financially "smart" way to get a credential is to enroll in an online program, which offers no modeling, mentoring, or feedback on practice.

This summer, I took myself to the beach for two days & wrote a letter to my fellow educators about “AI.” My mom asked to read it; I told her, “Not yet. Let me get another draft done.” Welp. I should have let her read the first draft because she’s not here to read this one.

“Human Beings! Human Beings!” An Open Letter to Educators on the Dangers of AI

A high school teacher and Rethinking Schools editor denounces AI as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution"). There are so many errors that it is hard to know where to begin. But I'll try

A promising experience today: Students saw a short news broadcast about AI. Afterward, I asked them to raise their hands if they thought AI was making life better. Only one student out of roughly 30 did so. Then I asked how many thought AI was making life worse, and every other hand went up.

We cannot legitimize AI in education. I hope educators know they aren’t anti-progress or stuck in the past if they reject AI. There are too many ethical and educational problems with it for it to become a part of school life for any reason.

I've been doing a youtube series that seeks to pull back the curtain on historical work. My "How to Think Like a Historian" videos have included publication, primary source dissection, & historiography. My newest video seeks to demystify the process of archival research. I hope it's helpful.

We learned last month that the State of Iowa will no longer fund or publish their peer-reviewed journal Annals of Iowa, which is now looking for an institutional home. Here we share our letter of concern, and we hope others will join us in supporting state and local history! 🗃️ 🧵

Reposting this as some education entities lean heavily into AI use this summer. Education needs to stay human focused. AI steals thinking and processing opportunities that students need.

A rainy night at Fenway for MLB park #17 in my question to watch a game at all 30. Easily sliding into my top five.

When you study history at all, you realize that the everyone is on their own and only responsible for themselves mantra leads to worse outcomes for everyone. Part of living in the society is trying to improve things for everyone and working together for the betterment of all. #sschat

The dismantling of the research apparatus that made America the science and tech giant it's been over the past century is the greatest own-goal in history. We haven't even begun to calculate or feel the losses

Said it before: This was my biggest worry when I had the idea for my dissertation - I was so excited about it but also worried someone had already done it. I spent a lot of time scouring publications in my field finding anything similar. Nothing the same, but definitely helped the lit review!

Nothing like a night watching my all time favorite Royal get inducted into the @royals.com Hall of Fame. A man who gave 100% of what he had to give that day, 100% of the days. I admired Alex Gordon immensely his whole career. His jersey hangs in my office for a reason.

19th century educator Mary Sheldon Barnes here provides a powerful justification for why we should wrestle with original documents, and also a fair answer to AI enthusiasts looking to outsource critical thinking. #histed. #skystorians

“But it takes more time? good friend, it does; and it takes more time to solve a problem in arithmetic, than to read its answer; and more time to read a Shakespeare, than to read that Shakespeare was the greatest dramatist of all the ages; and more time, finally, to read the American constition and the American newspaper, and make up your own mind how to vote your own vote, than it does to be put into a ‘block of five.’- *But what is time for?*” Mary Sheldon Barnes, The Academy: A Journal of Secondary Education, Volume IV, 1889-90, 291.

This is really difficult. I’ve filed some emotionally taxing reports before, and while doing my job doesn’t necessitate follow-up information from DCF, it’s really hard to move forward knowing nothing at all about the outcome of the investigation when I still see the kid every day.

I almost didn’t attend my hooding ceremony last weekend, but I’m glad I did, and I’m realizing why - in a time of such rampant anti-intellectualism, it felt SO good to be at a ceremony specifically to honor intellectual achievement and the value it adds to our society.
