Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.

Could these be the real culprits?

The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

This thread explains! 🧵
A graphic with an icon of the sun, a wiggly line denoting natural cycles, and a volcano, with a title reading "WHY is climate changing?" created by me. Not fancy, as my graphic design skills lean to function over art!

T @jscali.bsky.social's solution to responsible AI use?

Include Ss in designing the guardrails! #AIEdusky
"For my final project, my students and I co-created guardrails for AI use. We decided that they could use AI to help narrow down a topic, identify major aspects to be researched and to help with spelling and grammar. The students learned a lot – probably more than if they hadn't used AI." —Teacher John Scali

How have you improved upon "Any questions?"

T ‪@jscali.bsky.social‬ does it by inviting Ss to step into other learners' shoes:
"I like asking, 'What questions do you think someone else would have about this topic?' It takes the pressure off of students to save face in front of their peers and gets more questions asked about things students were confused about. It’s a small change that has made a big difference in my classroom!" —Teacher John Scali

Not my words, but I totally agree!

The self-confidence you foster in Ss can last a lifetime.
"I hope one day my students can look back on the time they spent in my class and still feel the love I have for them, smile warmly at some of the memories and definitely have the confidence in themselves that they can amount to everything they put their minds to." —Teacher Jaime Chase
