@schmichael Huh. That’s disappointingly normal. Gonna go post all over Reddit and Amazon reviews that the Domestic CFX smells like farts

@schmichael Just ask your local AI chatbot!

@ben @jbigham @andresmh I’d be interested in taking a peak at it at least. Signed up for it quite some time ago and never have gotten an invite code. Apparently no Pop and Play listeners on the Bluesky team… 😜🤣

@andresmh no dancing baby!?

Imagine believing that the college admission process was truly evaluating "challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned." Maybe it's not good that those making and interpreting our laws have lived their entire lives in make believe land? #SCOTUS

@BenPatrickWill What a depressing article. A six fold increase in cost and they’re still at the “oh we fixed it on that page but not the other page” stage? Khan Academy has always been snake oil but bilking public schools for a shitty prototype that gobbles up data and never performs is next level.

I was excited to share our new pictorial at #IDC2023 featuring photo-visuals from Family Creative Learning to share visuals as "knowledge-building artifacts": "Imagining Alternative Visions of Computing: Photo-Visuals of Material, Social, and Emotional Contexts from Family Creative Learning" https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3585088.3589235

@ricarose @andresmh Ricarose I love this! Thanks for sharing here!

Implementing K-12 computer science is complicated! Check out this case study led by Dr. Rafi Santo and our research team Dr. Leigh Ann DeLyser & myself on the kinds of district leadership practices and conditions that need to be addressed: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/14782103231178069

As part of my job I often interact with colleagues on rotation at the National Science Foundation. And on more than one occasion, without thinking and out of common courtesy, I've offered to buy them a coffee. When this has happened, every one has politely refused, telling me this would be a conflict of interest. But sure Alito. https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court

Sometimes #whatspoppin is poppin’ for everybody! So grab a cookie and a beer and go play some Zelda. And feel good knowing we’re all living our best lives. https://tiktok.com/t/ZT81Xsrr5/

Landed in Montreal 20min ago and still feel old and tired. So much for free healthcare amiright?

This genuinely made me laugh. The GOP used the White House during their convention. But you’re right, when the word “mega”was used in front of MAGA from the White House podium the blatant Hatch Act violation took my breath away.

@ben If there's one thing us Learning Scientists love to do, it's talk a big game--where everyone can see us doing the talking--and take super modest action.

Think it’s cool that Coach Beard is the special prosecutor.

So… shots everyone?

This year of "weird" NYC weather suggests that due to climate change my research group the "Snow Day Learning Lab" will eventually be renamed the "Wildfire Smoke Day Learning Lab"

RT "Is this an appropriate use of automation?" https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/110463454245744395

A million times this. "Should we automate this?" matters. All this handwringing by people getting rich off of these tools and it's because they never stop to ask "is it appropriate to automate this?" and ignored/fired folks who did.

If we ask "can AI do that?" we're asking the wrong question. A better question is: "Is this an appropriate use of automation?"

Here the answer was obviously no, and that was clear ahead of time:
