Faster than the New York Jets imploded on Monday Night Football (yet again, sigh), here are the week’s best articles from Tech & Learning.
- I Have AI Fatigue. Here's What I'm Doing to Overcome It
- Like I’m fatigued from watching the Jets lose year after year, fellow Jets fan Erik Ofgang
says, “I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I’m tired of reading AI papers.” Here’s what he’s doing to regain a little bit of the fun that he thinks AI has stolen from teaching. (I just need to do something else during football season.)
- 7 Things School Leaders Can Do To Promote Digital Citizenship in the Community
- “Recently, I heard a quote: ‘A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes,’” writes principal Mike Gaskell
, who offers advice to help better inform the school community, such as promoting critical thinking. In that vein–the quote he mentions is attributed to Mark Twain but Twain never said it
. It looks to have been the original Swiftie, Jonathan Swift, who penned it first.
- People Hate To Think, Says Research. What Does That Mean For Teachers
- Speaking of critical thinking, like many, I have often said, “No one told me that there would be thinking involved!” Educators can help overcome this (literal lack of a) mindset by creating structured and supportive learning environments, among other strategies.
- How A Two-Pronged Approach Helped To Protect Student (and Staff) Data
- Collecting data for a school might not be unusual, but keeping it forever might pose a significant risk. Beverly Miller
shares how her district has gone about protecting data in two distinct ways. Spoilers: Little Orphan Annie Ovaltine decoder rings is not one.
- Educator Edtech Review: Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14 Notebook
- The Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14 is a 2-in-1 convertible laptop built for educators and students who need a device that can handle processor-intensive tasks. Frank Pileiro
takes it for a spin!
- Recruiting and Onboarding Talented, Passionate Educators
- During part one of this two-part webinar, a panel of educators discussed the recruitment and onboarding of qualified educators. In part two, Retaining Talented, Passionate Educators
, best retention practices and advice were shared, including the importance of building culture and being aware of new teacher time frames. So of course, culture + time = Enjoy!
Okay, I’m going to tumble 4 you
right on out of here. Enjoy the double earworm and weekend ahead!
