To quote the glorious @lecagle.bsky.social: "The mountains are underwater and fascism is on the rise, so I recommend going ahead and getting that divorce you've been thinking about."
Sometimes you don't understand who didn't have your best interest at heart until years later and you strike up friendships where the people are excited to see you succeed and mention you in places cuz they aren't threatened and are not secretly competing.
It's a very clarifying moment.

I agree with the critique of AI in the classroom here but want to note one thing.
The argument about LMSs isn't the way to go here. It presumes LMSs are supposed to make teaching easier--I don't think they are. They increase accessibility to our courses when used effectively. So yeah, that's hard.

🧵 addressing the argument: "AI won’t replace teachers, but it will save them time and make them more effective.”
Adding edtech doesn't necessarily save teachers time. A recent study found that LMSs sold to schools over the past decade+ as time-savers aren’t delivering on making teaching easier.

Technology is supposed to decrease teacher burnout – but we found it can sometimes make it worse
Efforts to simplify teachers’ jobs through technology can backfire without a strong focus on teacher well-being.

A few things since I teach in the UTenn system:
The creation of a new Accreditation Agency has to go through official channels at the Dept of Ed.
That same DoE is currently behind on reporting annual data. This is a multi-year process under normal circumstances.
We'll see what becomes of this.

Apparently the new Christopher Nolan film is going to be an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey, so I'll take this time to recommend both Emily Wilson's translation of it and Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad which retells the story from Penelope's point of view.
