Middle School teachers: Read the entire thread although you probably know most of this already. (This is about teaching, not software design.)

Day 4 A: Low key curating a list of #AiInEd resources - d-e.padlet.org/campbb/ai-in... More importantly, listening to colleagues concerns and interests then trying to share relevant information at the right time. #EduskyAI

This Mind Map feature looks great. I noticed that @rodrop.bsky.social was using NotebookLM Plus in the video. However, I checked my free NotebookLM account and the Mind Map option was also there. I wish Google would change the terms to allow use by students under 18 in Workspace for Ed. #AiEdu

I'm a fan of #FlintK12 but I had difficulty getting an activity to list only the sources I had preloaded into it when asked by a student to show the source list. Tip: List the sources in a public Google Doc and use the setup chat to have activity respond the the URL of Doc. #AiEdu

@ajpodchaski.bsky.social Congratulations on your #ATLIS Pillar Award! theatlis.org/page/atlis-a...

"If you are interested in building [AI] literacy in your community, you cannot only live in the land of the don'ts. You have to live in the land of the do's also. And you have to model some of those affirmative actions with students." - Eric Husdon - www.aiforeducation.io/four-priorit... #AiEdu

For those concerned the freeze on federal funds will affect organizations you care about (or impact you personally), this list provides more information. My hope/guess is the @nytimes.com will continue to update it as they often do for something like this. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Kitchen tech (not my usual jam) and problem solving: My model LUX60 V3 Instant Pot was showing a C6 error on power up. Easy fix required only an screwdrive and $8 replacement KSD105 sensor/switch (www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK2RM5FP) This video was helpful - youtu.be/hIba1g9XZ4o #repairNotLandfill

If you are ready to have a conversation with students about their opinion on teachers using AI, the questions posed here might be a good start. The latter questions might elicit more nuanced answers with regard to resource generation. #EduSky #AiEdu www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/l...

Interesting post by @ddmeyer.bsky.social, former math teacher who moved to EdTech a while back. He scrapped X-Twitter "wall of love" posts for an AI tool and classified them as teacher, consultant, or administrator. Definition of consultant is controversial.

Just completed GOA's Create your Own GPT course and learned about poe.com Poe allows you to create a customized chatbot (i.e. a GPT) that uses the AI model of your choice. Free access allows a finite number of interactions per day. TOS: parental permission if under 18 and no use under 13. #EduSky

In this Sept 2024 article by Eric Hudson, he reminds us that we (schools) have agency over Generative AI in addition to ideas to let go of, "How we approach AI at school now will affect decisions [students] make about AI, now and in the future." substack.com/home/post/p-... #EduSky #AIinEducation

Completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 For part 1, wrote detailed comment then let Github Copilot suggest code that I approved (or not) line by line and had GC explain. Mostly wrote day 2 myself using day 1 code as base. Let GC suggest some lines.

I haven't tried this yet but I'm optimistic about it turning up some of the best of the 500 or so folks I followed on X-Twitter.

Here's my attempt to get educators who were used to Twitter up to speed with Bluesky. #EduSky

See what Bluesky lists you're on by going to ClearSky.app and entering your handle.

I was surprised to discover I'm on 75 different lists. 😲 #EduSky

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1 Full disclosure: I continue to be curious about how well GitHub Copilot works to assist with coding so I'm using that in VSCode for the challenges.

I spent a significant amount of time years ago building a good X-Twitter (@BillCamp) professional network and hopefully contributing back but have not done that again since. I don't have the time to do that again here on bsky at the moment, but I'm optimistic about maybe trying here in the future.
