Turning 80-ish (usa letter-sized) pages of reading into Google Slides so students can read more comfortably on their Chromebooks.
I really wish I could just use an HTML page, but last I looked Google Drive won't display HTML files as web pages.
I suppose I could make it 8.5x5.5 landscape PDF, but not sure how well that would work on their screens.
Any thoughts?

From what I've read elsewhere, PowerSchool paid the ransom and watched the hackers "delete the data" live on a videoconference. Uh huh, yeah sure, the data was deleted

Teaching about slavery in schools and doing it well isn’t just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make #Juneteenth about so much more than the end of slavery.
Today’s holiday offers abundant opportunities to teach about what it means to fight for freedom and maintain a sense of self-determination in the face of oppression.

#Schools will go all in on #AI. Every vendor is pushing their "cutting-edge" AI "tools." Administrator conferences are full of AI hype. They'll fall for it like they've fallen for every #edtech fad for as long as I've been doing this (~30 years). If you don't know how to ask, "How, exactly, will this help our students learn and grow? Why is it an improvement?" and interrogate the answers, you will fall for any hyped-up nonsense that comes your way. #K12 #k12education
Anyone have advice on speech to text specifically for math and math equations? #math #k12education #assistivetechnology

Parents, you should be concerned about this adaptation of our schools into job training centers.
Education does not exist to train workers or scholars. It exists to create better humans who then want to make a better future.
America underfunds its schools, and an entire vulture industry now exists to exploit children to sell their wares while giving the schools pennies on the dollar.

I am definitely not going to teach *2* extra classes on top of my regular #k12Education job ever again. Until the next time, that is.
Published "ELA Journal, Day 3" of my AI in #education near-future #scifi short story. The assignment, and the story, ends with Day 7.
After a short rant from the protagonist, it introduces a few more characters as well as the open source group working on Nnedi's AI.
I think I have a clearer idea of where this story is going. Work on Day 4 is progressing well.

I’m hearing a lot of teachers talking about leaving the profession. Sadly, these are the ones you’d most like teaching your kids—smart, passionate, lifelong learners. When the innovators have all been driven out of this field, guess who will be left? The dull, the indifferent, and the obedient—a bad school administration’s dream employees. That’s who. #k12education #teachers #teaching

Primary education, according to the United Nations at least, is a fundamental human right. Unlike other rights, though, education is compulsory. The right to free speech doesn’t legally obligate anyone to speak freely. Freedom of religion doesn’t compel anyone to be religious. The right to not be enslaved may prohibit people from contracting themselves into slavery but at least in the U.S. it’s not illegal to try, it’s just that such contracts are unenforceable. No other human right is forced on its putative beneficiaries at the point of a policeman’s gun.
