Is "frictionless" learning a mistake? Neuroscience suggests we need "cognitive friction" to truly learn, yet a total tech blackout ignores the reality of 2026. The goal: use analog foundations to stay the master of the machine, not its servant #edtech #neuroscience

Small victory. (I'm in MN - rough time for everyone right now.) My MS students couldn't access Speaker Notes in Slides. Appears to be an issue this week. Work around: Tools > Dictate Speaker Notes (or Ctr Shift S) and you'll see the Speaker Notes option at the bottom of the screen. #GoogleEDU

AI Detection - If only it was easy. #EduSky #EdTech www.npr.org/2025/12/16/n...

Teachers are using software to see if students used AI. What happens when it's wrong?

School districts from Utah to Ohio to Alabama are spending thousands of dollars on these tools, despite research showing the technology is far from reliable.

Watching a segment of www.enemiesproject.org - where a pro life man and a pro choice woman have a sit down. Tough to watch, but seeing the human side of people whose ideas are so against what you believe in (at least initially), is powerful. Curious about how students would respond. #EduSky

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
