Yay! #mathstoday one of my PSTs chose my #slowrevealgraph (made with @jennalaib.bsky.social's help, of course). slowrevealgraphs.com/2026/02/09/2... Most of the discussion was about what the thickness of the bands meant. Made it a stumper even after they got the olympic connection.

Love seeing @jennalaib.bsky.social using this framework. I learned from @deltadc.bsky.social . Often ask learners to pick one to consolidate thinking. Applying to planning is great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dH7...

I have a student in my 7th grade class that is new to English. I have been using Google Translate to translate some things into Russian for him.
Today, the kids worked on a pre-unit assessment. I had Google Translate it into Russian.

Excellent thread critiquing the onslaught of AI in education spaces! I will have to listen to the episode later.
New #DebateMath on AI in Math Education! It was a privilege to largely agree with Cal and Ed.
My opening remarks:
We have a professional responsibility as educators to vet technologies we bring into the classroom. Unfortunately, that’s largely *not* happening.

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People
For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.
