Learning should be about learning. Not jobs. When we tell kids to learn science, math, coding, etc. for the "good jobs" and then the job market changes, it destroys the premise. Schools can do a better job of creating pathways for student interest to turn into powerful ideas.

Couple of days ago I had to go the local DMV. It was chaotic and crowded, but the people there were efficient and kind. The system was working. They had people out on the floor translating, redirecting, explaining. Just a reminder that government has to work for everyone, and sometimes it does.

This is a fantastic book. Written in a straightforward and concise manner by someone who knows what we need to hear about AI and learning. My copy arrived a few days ago, along with another yellow book. Both wonderfully calming and inspiring to read given the brain-cycle stealing current events.

Shout out to everyone who does things so far in advance that they forgot that they did and ended up doing it twice because they saved it in a different place the second time to the first time and it all just got a bit confusing. #edusky

Just a reminder to the young’uns that in the olden days there were MAGAZINES that PRINTED WHOLE COMPUTER PROGRAMS and we had to TYPE THEM IN line by line because that was a reasonable way to make our own computers do fun things. (and for us to learn a bit by osmosis) #TeamCompSci #CSEdWeek

The idea of #makered isn't just fabrication, it's students making meaning and sense of the world around them. If that's 3D printing, so be it. But it could also be math, poetry, or anything else. Endless paths.

Nick - much of what kids are “subject”ed to in school is mindnumbing. Disconnected, subdues curiosity, flattens creativity - Tchrs often “subject”ed to the same - and thus both the majority of kids and Ts reported to Gallup that they were disengaged in school - We cyclically suck joy from learning
