I'm often struck how so much is made about "preparing kids" to work and learn in ways that, frankly, schools often don't know about & aren't setup to support. 🤷🏼‍♂️

So if the place we're "preparing students for" looks and functions like this, what then?

h/t to @themathguru.bsky.social and @realjmitchell.bsky.social for being good sports and letting me capture the moment. And to @natbanting.bsky.social for being in the frame doing other things. 😆

Did some #ThinkingClassroom work today with solving algebraic equations.
“I’m thinking of a number and if I add five to that number then multiply the whole thing by 2 the answer is 16. What’s the number I’m thinking of?”

I miss having my own class…

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition.

Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.
Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This was fun.
Photography class took photos.
English class wrote descriptive paragraphs about the images.
I partnered with the teachers to run the descriptions through an AI image generator.
The results were put on display at the end of the semester art show.

Yesterday I made the worlds cutest tree diagram.
I used chatGPT to make the images and Adobe Express to remove the backgrounds.

The other physics teacher at my school noticed that when you graph projectile trajectories for a fixed launch speed at various angles, the parabolas produce a nice envelope which we could tell was ALSO a parabola. We'd never noticed that before! #ITeachPhysics

Last week I used Notebook LM to analyze 600+ teacher responses to the Professional Development day we had a week previous. Then I generated podcasts tailored to each individuals schools admin team…including next steps.
