Teachers are struggling with AI and student work. This was a good reminder of how to approach a situation where you think a student has plagerized. I Got Kicked Out of Class for Writing Too Well ascd.org/blogs/i-got-kicked-… via @ASCD

Great first day of school at @ClearCreekISD schools. Had the pleasure of going to Robinson Elementary. Great reminder of our why - the students were amazing. One of the kindergarten classes we visited had 4 students with birthdays so naturally we sang to them.

During a spacewalk, the carbon dioxide that an astronaut exhales must be removed. This is done by a "scrubber" inside the spacesuit, but once the scrubber fills up, it must be regenerated before reuse. The new Axiom Space spacesuit, or the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU), features a special CO2 scrubber that uses the vacuum environment of space to regenerate the carbon dioxide removal system — allowing it to be reused repeatedly without swapping out canisters, giving astronauts more flexibility and endurance during future lunar spacewalks!
