I just learned about CO2 pipelines. Are the people against these pipelines against pipelines for oil? Or is this a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) thing?

New Book: Along with Jeff Venables, I’ve just released a new book that might be of particular interest to teachers in South Carolina who are members of PEBA.

TIL that all those times KAT kicks out on his shot it should be a Defensive Foul, not an Offensive one. I expect his FT rate to skyrocket next season! #NBA
It just dawned on my why ChatGPT just makes up its own facts. It has proven to be a successful strategy for so long and it is trained on human behavior/language. ChatGPT blows the same smoke your crazy uncle does! Now I fear AI for a completely different reason!
Hey @mctownsley you keep showing up in my own research. Love this paragraph from your dissertation. SBG classrooms assessment practices may not match the high stakes testing they see from time to time. Definitely true in PBL classrooms (which goes well with SBG).

Virginia folks, if you haven't opened a 529 college savings plan for your kid(s) yet, you might want to do so today or tomorrow: Get a free $50 (each) plus all the other advantages of a 529 plan virginia529.com/blog/save-50…
@StPaulOpen has a podcast OWL Celebrates Learning (@OWLCelebrates) this is unlike anything you’ve experienced. How do I know? Spotify says there is nothing like it in their podcast library. Take a listen! Stories told by OWL students. @ELeducation
Principals and Superintendents - part of your plan to retain Ts should be to make sure they understand their total compensation package, including their pension. @karlfisch had published books for most states to help with that and are very affordable. Makes a great 1st day gift!

#BetterWorldDay @StPaulOpen OWL Against Hunger! Student led project fundraised, organized, and then packed approximately 70,000 meals for Minnesota breakfast programs! #WeareCrew @ELeducation
Are you a writer and a techie? I’ve got a question - Can chatGPT finish The Canterbury Tales? It may be too much to extrapolate. What is the longest coherent story #AI write off of a work? 10% extension? More? Less? A Shakespearean Sonnet in his voice? A Plath poem?
I’m curious - after this “pedophilia” smear campaign runs its course, what will be next? I’m sure this will be around for awhile like communist or socialist campaigns have been, but once it is blunted what is next?
Are you a math teacher interested in a fully online math position? See the link below! #iteachmath

My wife is looking for conferences around Special Education, maybe with an Extended School year sessions/focus? Anyone know of any exceptional ones? In person preferably. #iteach #specialEd
How many candles for #Kwanzaa? My students are trying to figure out how many candles would be needed for k days.
I’m sorry, because #iteachmath I cannot banish the term ‘inflection point.’ Furthermore, I advocate for it to be used continually as long as it is used correctly. cnn.com/2023/01/02/world/ban…
Teachers, looking to make a New Year Resolution around your finances? See if @karlfisch has a book for your state. I helped write one for @SPPS_News Ts and @EducationMN Ts too. It is cheap, a short read, and could help your 2023 start your path to financial freedom and retirement
