It’s a great day for the PSEA Artificial Intelligence Task Force to have important conversations about how human educators can shape the future of education.

Someone asked me today to justify a claim that school vouchers are overwhelmingly used to subsidize wealthy families rather than helping poor children. You can go ahead and Google other states, but here is the data from Arizona to support that claim.

If you look up the bio of recipients of the US Presidential Award for Excellence in Math & Science Teaching on National Science Foundation site, you get this. Probably b/c we’re doing things POTUS finds abhorrent, like teaching actual science, giving all kids equal opportunity, & including all kids.

If human-influenced climate change isn't real, then what's the need to delete all climate data from NOAA and other government websites?

Looking forward to another meeting with the PSEA AI Task Force this morning to discuss the future of education policy, practice, and public schools in an AI landscape. Love working with this group of deep-thinking educators and union leaders. #AIinEducation

Annual tradition of bringing my daughter to a #NYI game on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My wife and son came along this year. Part of my heart is in Orlando, though, where my son and I will be hoping #RBNY can win and advance to the #MLSCup final.

Agree, but that seems to be a big reason why people have positive opinions. I can’t read that without being very nervous about long term implications.

With so many people focused on the topic right now, it's probably relevant to mention that I edited a book on how teachers can save American Democracy a few years ago. For those of you looking for ways to act now, it might be a good read. #EduSky www.prairielightsbooks.com/book/9780367...

I've long respected @kshelton.bsky.social as a nuanced and balanced voice on AI education issues. Excited to finally get his & @deelanier.bsky.social's book and companion guide. Interested in possibly using them in my university edtech & communications class for pre-service Ss in the spring. #edusky

Interesting to see Pulisic moved inside to the 10 with Musah and Weah out on the wings. Could be quite dynamic if it clicks. I like that Tessmann is getting antoher start after a solid game in Kingston. #USMNT

I always found it easiest to use Tweetdeck rather than my phone. You can replicate that experience with deck.blue

Here are some tips that I used to give others for chats on the platform that shall not be named. #edusky #eduskychat

They count on us to be too exhausted to fight. They add mandates. They cut funding. They put unqualified hacks in charge. They coerce & belittle.

Overwhelmingly, though, communities support public school educators. Our action & narratives of how they hurt students matter. We will #Resist. #edusky
