Overqualified and underpaid, no wonder I don't feel excited about this new job.
It does spark interest when I drop the company name though, but it's really not on the inside 🥲

I swear I will try to find a job that doesn't take over an hour worth of commuting next time.
I'll try and do well in this new job for a year and see how it goes.. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀

Our latest episode is a conversation with Texas educator @heymrsbond.com about her changing attitudes on edtech in an "Age of AI" and reflecting on the challenges and rewards from a year of analog teaching:

Sighhh
Google confirms it's using YouTube videos to train its AI tools — including Veo 3

• Says it's just a 'subset' — but even 1% of 20B videos is over 200M

• Only creators and media companies with specific agreements are exempt — everyone else’s videos can be used to train AI

"Now is the time for peace" after bombing another country is about as Orwellian as it gets.

Like, remember what it was like reading 1984 the first time? How it felt reading that, realizing what was happening, that feeling in your gut?

Yep. That. Right now.

Thinking of deleting threads (the app that is) because I have no idea how it works lol.

One more week of the school year left, but already have my first summer read queued up! 👀 @thevogelman.bsky.social

(Reminder to all, too: being skeptical about AI in education doesn't mean refusing to be curious/open-minded)

The hidden cost of every "yes" is often something valuable we already have.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

- Sleep and downtime
- Time with loved ones
- Other opportunities
- Quality over quantity in current work
- Personal well-being
- Mental clarity

What is the hidden cost?

Feeling spicy today so going to say this: poems don’t have to rhyme and if you are still under the impression that all poems have to rhyme, your idea of poetry hasn’t left first grade yet.

3. Collaborate as communities on the values that are going to be in play when it comes to AI use and schooling. I would put transparency for all (students, admins, teachers) above all. If we can at least agree on the goal of the educational activities we can reorient the work somewhere better.

My former school treated AI as 5. and before I left I knew this would only make students use it "without telling", it makes the battle tougher, not easier.
(But hey, I had already resigned so... Not like they needed my input 🫠)
5. Treating the problem as one of "cheating" isn't going to work. AI policies are all over the map, students are confused and it drives use underground.

6. It's hard for individual teachers to appreciate this, but we are making some productive adjustments. Failures are felt more acutely...(cont.)

Deleted my teacher twitter. Will keep my fandom / main one because that's where all the news is.
If I ever teach again, I'll talk about it here I guess, lol. We are just one mess on one account I think that's enough, lmao.

All right fellow wotas, anywhere else I need to check in the Tokyo area other than the H!P Official Store, Mandarake, and Surugaya?

If anyone has any recent thrift store or secondhand store recommendations too, I would appreciate it! :)

(I'm willing to train outside Tokyo, fyi)
