The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

So just like cell phones, I believe that we need to provide DIRECT INSTRUCTION ON ACCEPTABLE USES OF AI... just saying! #EduSky #edchat
“My students understand that for teachers, using AI is different,” David Cutler says.

“This distinction guides my policy. With my high school history students, I am upfront about how and why I use generative AI, and I cannot stress enough the importance of that transparency.”

Why Using AI Is Fine for Teachers but Not for Students
A high school teacher shares how he explains to students that using AI will hinder their ability to build strong writing skills.
