I bet people at Astronomer are going rogue today. They be like “What are you gonna do? Send me to HR?”

Great weekend of doing a triathlon, hanging out with my kids (but 7 hours or so each way is long), seeing friends and eating In'N'Out burger! I miss california.

Here’s what I love about Bluesky.

There is a whole world of educators that I don’t know yet that are doing the fucking work.

Every time I log in someone I don’t know is sharing something.

This is special. This is better.

Every other app right now seems like an echo chamber.

Thank you all.

This is a problem for the field of education research.

Windows blue screen of death.

More like blue screens, right?

Start-Up Founder Who Sold A.I. Chatbot to Schools Is Charged With Fraud Joanna Smith-Griffin was charged with lying to investors about revenue and her customer base, which she claimed included some of the nation’s largest school districts, including New York City’s.

For when tech bros wonder why educators are skeptical of “ai replacing teachers” etc.

Great book on AI #edusky #ai #aiedu books.google.com/books/about/...

Almost 11 and I got up at 5 to swim but… so close to 1k active calories gotta jump on the bike for a few mins!

Anyone wanna talk local LLM’s and agents in education settings? #edusky

Sometimes I feel normal. Then on pi day, which I celebrate… I realize my Venmo profile name is Brandon-Dorman-314…

I miss Twitter and am ok with threads but would prefer BlueSky to be my best “work/passions” social media space… but it’s all feels so fractured now

When you create them are they linked to any competency or more for your own interests? I’m interested in the digital badging space but have a hard time seeing the end game without consequential credentials

Great post about math and number understanding ! www.quantamagazine.org/why-the-huma...

The game changer is not how we digitally write math problems but rather how we ask a completely different type question?
