LOVE the prompt to begin the prompt if you are interviewing AI as a guest in your class. Excellent modeling here as well as a good safeguard for your class. Lots of great learning and conversations with @ericcurts.bsky.social at #FETC

Meet Your Local Librarian
The New York Times recently published an article stating that librarians are facing a “crisis of violence and abuse.” So I just thought you’d like to meet your local librarian.

GearSketch is a freestyle online activity that lets you design mechanical gear systems by drawing and connecting gears and chains. The site simulates the motion of the gears and chains. It is oddly satisfying to play around with—great for a brain break. #EduSky

Truth.
Or, district leaders saying they are making retention of teachers a priority without actually doing anything about it.
Universities staying with the times to stop scientists from moving to the industry

Just because it may be unpopular doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Look at what reading has turned in to in schools centering testing over enjoyment. Ban books rather than provide more options. Reading is one of the most fulfilling things we can do and that has to be “controlled”

Agree! And that control is done under the veil of protection yet I’ve HS young adults actively engaged in pushing back because no one has included them in the conversation.

Unpopular opinion of the day. I think that a lot of young people don’t enjoy pleasure reading because a lot of adults don’t want them to enjoy pleasure reading.

I appreciate your posting about Jen. Thank you.
For anyone that is a friend of Jen's. She's turned off her BlueSky and is just using Twitter right now. She's in hospice care, they started giving her small doses of morphine yesterday, sadly I'm not sure if she will tweet again, but I just felt people here might want to know. #EduSky

A *key* victory was handed down in Arkansas yesterday, where a federal judge held that two sections of Arkansas's anti-library bill Act 372 violated the First Amendment.
A big win for libraries + for anti-book banning.
Here's the ruling, plus potential implications.
