A thought from my dissertation: is classroom technology primarily used to make teaching easier, or is it being used to enhance instruction, create more engaged learners, and increase the authenticity of the learning experience? #edtech #tech #education #teaching

UPDATE: After seven hours of surgery Vic is in the cardiac ICU. Doctor said the surgery went well and they were able to do everything they needed to do.
Hey everyone, if you know @VicTheMacWizard who is the grill master as Psychogate, keep him in your prayers. He's unexpectedly having open heart surgery tomorrow.
I hope he has a speedy recovery and will be fighting on again before the end of the season! 🙏 ✌️

Better Business Bureau warns scammers can take advantage of the information from back to school photos
Parents often post their kids holding signs with their name, age, school, and even teachers. All of that can be used for identity theft.
If you DO post a photo, experts advise:
-Leave out personal details
-Keep the background generic – no street signs, house numbers or school names
-never use your kids’ names or birthdays in passwords – that’s an easy way in for hackers. @GMA
Dear @apple. If I have "do not disturb" enabled on my MacBook Air, why is macOS giving me spoken audio tips on upgrading to macOS 15, interrupting my focus? This is interfering with my tasks at hand. DND should result in complete silence unless emergency contacts are enabled.
ABSOLUTELY mind blowing. Watch all the way to the end ...you won't believe it.

According to this video, Lowes, Home Depot and others will force you to contact the manufacturer of major appliances should they break just beyond the first 48 hours of you owning the products. You can't take it back and exchange it for a working unit: m.youtube.com/watch?v=bPhejR…
Earlier this evening our neighborhood lost power for about 20 minutes. I just finished up confirming that our emergency generator would start and make power. My biggest concern would be losing all of the food in our freezer and refrigerator. #poweroutage
These work WELL. I received an alert on my phone from these WiFi water detectors and came home to find that a pretty intense storm was dumping water into the basement. Thanks @GoveeOfficial amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B095STF6F…

The Skilled Trades are incredibly important and so is a college education. We don’t need to choose sides… we need to come together and improve both opportunities. Hey @mikerowe is awesome but... this fellow Eagle Scout thinks he needs to stop bashing college education and get his facts right on public schools. We do support skilled trades and college is still worth it for millions of people. I support and encourage both NOT put one choice down. We need both. We need to improve both. United we stand… divided we fall. Let’s come together. #Speaker #Leader #MikeRowe

Study after study compares "AI + extra support" vs "regular instruction" and declares AI works.
You're not testing AI. You're testing whether doing more stuff helps kids learn.
I created the Educational AI Sanity Framework to help you navigate. #edtech
