Do I know anyone with resources (or can point me in the direction of resources) for a somewhat independent study Discrete Math course? Something for students who could use enrichment that is off the traditional AGA pathway.

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind but HEY GUESS WHAT..... Math Routine Collaborative is meeting TONIGHT! See you at 8ET if you can make it!
Whatever your students are doing this year that AI can't β that AI *could never*: do more of that. The rest will work itself out.
Can we really wring our hands about students using AI when our education systems are built around exactly the kinds of tasks AI excels at? AI can't toss pizza dough, build a disc golf course, present at an accessibility fair, or conduct water quality tests on a research vessel. Let's start there.

My supervisor is here to tell me I'm working too hard and therefore not giving him enough attention.
Very much true. @cnygren.bsky.social and I wrote here. www.publicbooks.org/four-frictio...
My sounds-like-conspiracy-theory-but-is-probably-true take is slopAI firms are deliberately targeting education sector; itβs underfunded & weakly protected & by becoming standard there they create generations of dependent users which is only thing that can stop inevitable financial bubble bursting

I never used tabs in GDocs before a month or two ago and gotta say... I'm really liking it.
confession: I was today year's old when I realized how simple it is to have all your unit plans in one place with Google Doc tabs π΅ "It's a whole new world..."π§

UPDATE: We were really looking forward to seeing you today. Unfortunately because life has a way of interfering with plans, we have to postpone todayβs collab. Folks have reached out to say that meeting on Sunday is challenging, so beginning in August, we will meet on the 3rd Thursday of the month.
We missed you last month! Hoping your summer is relaxing, and that you'd like to come do some math with us this weekend! Not registered yet? Head to www.strongermath.com/mrc to join us for a mathematically good time!
I'm not quote tweeting the first tweet in this thread because there is a video and it's very upsetting. I can't begin to process how angry I am.

"Everything here is called exactly what it is. The triangles are called triangles, the circles are called circles, and even the same numbers have the same name. Why, can you imagine what would happen if we named all the twos Henry or George or Robert or John or lots of other things?β
"they just play with the settings and watch what happens. they don't learn anything." Buddy what do you think learning is????
Thereβs a problem somewhere. I wonder where it is
You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.
Y'all help π what was the online tool we were using during remote teaching that was like an add on for Google slides but each participant could annotate their own copy and the facilitator could see everybody's work??
I am going to be teaching all 7/8th grade for the first time in my career this upcoming year. Please help if you can π©·

My coworker and I are reading (and loving!) Figuring Out Fluency by Jennifer Bay-Williams and John SanGiovanni. We have a question though and I'm hoping I know enough well-read people that someone will have the answer we're searching for. #ITeachMath #edusky
Zohran Mamdani in office is like when the pandemic revealed that work from home was always possible; the only barriers to progress have always been inept leaders.
I saw things that needed to be put away and instead of just being like "huh, that needs to be put away" I ACTUALLY PUT THE THINGS AWAY. ADHD medication is truly a wondrous thing.

As a therapist licensed in two states, I can't tell you the bullshit hoops we have to jump through just to TRY to get your insurance to cover you. I've fought Fortune 500 companies at the state capitol because they didn't want to give you the coverage you're pressured to buy. #therapy #mentalhealth
