"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."
Arthur C. Clarke
I think if it WERE legal to assassinate CEOs of large companies β¦ that would totally justify their enormous salaries.

My 8-year old niece: (joking) βYou traveled the world!β
Me: (joking back) βI did! Timbuktu is nice this time of year!β
(Pause)
My 8-year old niece: (serious) βIs there a Timbuk-one?β
IXL.com, one of my favourite class resources, has released an AI-powered workspace: Spark Studio. Iβm going to spend the next few weeks and months exploring what Spark Studio can, and cannot do for us in the classroom.
The answer: a much much better day!!
(A caveat: my two most disruptive students were absent today, I will need to repeat when they are here.)
Yesterday I set a task that was too challenging for my students. It went so, so poorly. By the end we were all frustrated with each other.
Today, weβre going to reset, take a step back, and try something more simple.
Letβs see how it goes.
Every party needs a horny bard.
Where are the active tectonic zones on your world? Is there a structure analogues to the βRing of Fireβ where earthquakes and volcanoes are more common?
Yeah, the real learning opportunity in this tech is for highly knowledgeable students to critique what the AI presents.
Of course: itβs an easy thing and I could see myself - exhausted at the end of a long week - just letting my 5th graders have these chats because it LOOKS like learning.

The only value in this exercise would be if students who already know about these figures were having these chats to learn about the failings and pitfalls of AI.
Of course, this is easy and there is money to be made here, so these chats will replace research soon.
I strongly dislike being the tank.
I get very little satisfaction from being the main damage-dealer in a combat situation and I like facing the problem of being squishy.
Thank you! This helped!
I am on the hunt for resources to teach the Native history of the US (Illinois, ideally) at a 4th / 5th grade level⦠any ideas? #edusky
I see a lot of UK focused accounts on #EduSky. Where are the US-based educators hanging out?
Yeah, published in β78. Three years before Empire came out.
Splinter of the Mindβs Eye is such a wild ride of a book.
Oh, itβs so very good.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a man who reads the term βAtomic Priesthood,β must include one in the TTRPG adventure he is writing.
Letβs do it.
I have no idea how it knew I have a beard, but I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.
As a teacher I use ChatGPT all the time to help prepare lessons. Today I asked it to create an image of me based on what it knows about me: #edusky #ai #chatgpt #edubs

Open-ended prompts. I always run pre-written adventures and I also always homebrew elements of them.
Thereβs no chance a full script will fit my campaign and Iβd hate the writer to have wasted their time and energy creating stuff Iβm not going to use.
Thing I did not know I would need to teach when I moved from 7th grade to 5th grade:
How to use a paper clip.
