Teachers: as the annual #BitcoinConference is currently underway this week in Las Vegas... two questions:
1. Do you personally own any Bitcoin?
2. Do you ever have occasion to introduce anything about Bitcoin as part of any of the curriculum you currently teach?

On a Peloton workout today and heard the instructor drop a pretty amazing mantra.
“You deserve more than easy.”
In an age of so much artificial, this is a powerful reminder that real work is often hard work - isn’t just about finding the fastest shortcut. #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

They say your favorite class is the one where that you like the most. But your best class is the one where you learn the most.
Do you thing it is possible for a single class to be BOTH of those things? And if so, how?

Teachers:
How do you feel about receiving PD content that has *clearly* been generated almost entirely by AI?
(Podcasts, blog posts, form emails)
Now let’s apply the same standard to students on the receiving end of our lesson plans.
We all deserve better.

Ran a timed mile today for the first time since taking about six weeks off from the gym.
Clocked in just under 11 minutes.
My last timed mile before the break was just under 8 minutes.
Humbling. But a powerful reminder.
Consistency always wins. #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Teaching teens about AI? This is super insightful! #EDUsky
I struggle with the reporting on ChatGPT in education because it often confirms society’s negative bias against young people—oh no, this generation is unsaveable!—when it’s possible to just educate people to be less credulous about it. which is why I wrote this: so teachers could print and assign it
ChatGPT Is Everywhere — Why Aren't We Talking About Its Environmental Costs?
One estimate found that a single ChatGPT search uses 10 times the energy of a normal Google search.
