From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title

As I worked on a blog post about #teaching #History with #AI, I witnessed the falsification of the historical record to oppress.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

I will speak out about this on my blog later this week.

Meanwhile... 1/3

Just to clarify, is this the portrait that #Trump doesn't like? Does anyone know? I hadn't seen the painting until he "truthed" about it. Is it this one? If he doesn't like it, please let people know not share it.

Here's a hint that #teaching #history differently can lead to deep and rich thinking. I'm researching a #pedagogy for teaching history that seeks to 'be more' and 'do more'. I'm hoping that the way I teach builds wisdom. This rough copy note by a 14 yo gives me hope.

I've been developing my website and blog. So far, I've share a few of my #education and #teaching related chatbots. More sharing will happen in coming days. You can visit it at disruptedhistory.com

29°C (84.2°F); 53% humidity; 1pm. What better time is there to cook roast pork and focaccia in a Queensland summer? (Craft brew Vienna lager is essential bushcraft.)

Here are a few ways to navigate and respond to these feelings...

That artwork always fascinates me. There's a few different variations of Lokhoff's theme and plenty similar... one of those great analysis sources!

I'm trying to keep some semblance of rest in the final weeks of my sabbatical/holiday period. Getting a lot of rest, cricket viewing, and (semi-recreational) reading in... before restarting writing and studies next week.

I won't argue that a pedagogy of historical inquiry should be applied universally in every subject area, every classroom, every school, every phase of learning, and every year level...

You promise the same about direct instruction / explicit teaching.

Deal?

(Easy for me. How about you?)

I'm a bit torn by this. Rather than a complete delete, I feel like I need to keep a lurker account for the dumpster bird site just to keep an eye of the posts of Musk and Trump... anyone else doing that?

Yes but... the truth always matters.

We ignore logic, rationality, and learning at our peril.

I asked #SoraAI from #OpenAI to depict a History classroom that was organised around principles of generative #learning theory.

It was a really pleasant surprise to hear that my school has posted this (on social media platforms that I don't use!). Thanks for the public pat on the back to whoever is involved.

I love the question but had no idea - so I asked ChatGPT. The full response was awesome. (Try my prompt?)

"Growth happens through connection, reflection, and purpose... Progress isn’t about perfection but about staying deeply engaged—with others, with yourself, and with the bigger picture."

Ironically, @georgetakei.bsky.social, this is pretty good too!

Or just create a fun and highly detailed scene for fun?

Perhaps comparing the depiction of #birds to the detailed records of orthnithologists?
