I dislike the currently popular "stop" terminology. If you wish to persuade others, pls show respect for their process of decision making, and be persuasive. Saying "stop doing this or that" sounds like authoritarianism or bullying to me. IMHO #EduSku #EdTech #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social

Aren't these great? A teacher in our #STEM group wanted to know where her class could get a personal Minecraft avatar for a project - I showed her these, and included the prompts for her on CoPilot. #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social @msftcopilot.bsky.social

Generally, I do not solicit donations. However, if you suffer #migraine as I do, you know that knowing local barometric pressure helps! This site is free, and helps me, so I donate. (It's also fun for #STEM weather classes!) Thanks for considering. gofund.me/4a59d3cd
