"I hate that the way algorithm and social media work make it so much more likely that only people who thought about this will see this :/"
We have no algorithms here! So share this as wide as you can!
If you're a #teacher, show this to your students!

I'm pro-facts, and anti-AI because I'm also a #Mathematics #teacher and #AI is horribly bad at doing Maths (can't reason). Students (or anyone at all) should NOT be using AI to learn Maths (or do their homework)! I just posted today about how AI is bad at tutoring. I run 2 (intermittent) series here, #MathsMonday and #FactFriday
Related: Programmers are also horribly bad at Maths, as evident by almost every e #calculator in existence gives wrong answers. See https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/111164851485070719
#TTRPG and #teacher nerds, I need your help: I've got an exam student who wants to write a report on* a niche subject: using #DnD in (2nd language ed) classrooms.
Does anyone have any resources on that, as in, experience, scientific articles or seen anyone speaking or writing about it? While they hunt their own sources, I'd like to see what you specialists can come up with too. Help will be very much appreciated!
* They want to apply it too later, but first learn about ofc.

I've been trying to go back to my blog recently.
I've made some changes and I've decided on a new direction.

The #Trump admin has declined to release nearly $7 billion in federal #funding for #schools that helps pay for after-school & summer programs, support for #students learning English, #teacher training & other services.
The money, which was already allocated by #Congress, was expected to be released by Tuesday. But in an email on Monday, the Trump #Education Department notified #state education agencies that the money would not be available.
