Experts say schools should look closely at what vendor evidence actually demonstrates, from sample sizes and study parameters to badges and certifications, while starting with a clear instructional vision for students.
His name is Thomas Teepell. Journalists maybe you could do your job with this information? @maddow.bsky.social
The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”
Well I don’t have a tick too account to delete but these platforms need to go

Oh great. Let’s teach a machine all about an individual’s health issues, but don’t worry about pre-existing health issues and insurance. The tech bros have your back.
there's an off-the-books slack channel started by centers for medicare and medicaid for tech companies to exchange ideas on making money off of AI tools that access all of your medical records. insane story i missed from last week.

For those who want to dive deeper into this data, Ed Next (journal at Harvard) has republished my essay on what I call The 50 Percent Problem, my *conservative* estimate of how many students are harmed by using AI. www.educationnext.org/the-penalty-...
These are indeed the right questions. We have empirical evidence that strongly suggests the immediate impact of AI is seriously harmful to learning, and since learning is cumulative, likely will have long-term harmful consequences. (That purple area is the direct measure of harm)

I published this in 2024. It remains as true today as it did then — though in need of a refresh on so-called agentic AI, which somehow manages to be even worse for education than chatbots. Free to download here: www.cognitiveresonance.net/resources
I once was a huge advocate for technology in the classroom. Such potential… Now we write on white boards and paper. The computers remain in the cart. My students need to know how to write for themselves first, after that is accomplished… I can compromise.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Grateful to @maddow.bsky.social for amplifying the people’s power ― “the people have had better instincts and more spine than the institutions that are supposed to uphold our values as a country…institutions have been wusses compared to the regular people of this country thus far.” #PINKS
