In advance of the Oscars tonight: a lot of comedy heroes let you down. They become unfunny/bitter/closed minded. Conan is the exception. He has grown & evolved & is funnier than he’s ever been. He’s also an extremely kind and lovely human. Just a sincere post to say: Conan rules.

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

In Christmas films where Santa is objectively real (The Santa Clause, Miracle on 34th Street, etc), why are the parents always complete oblivious to the fact that every year presents nobody bought end up underneath the tree?

If we did a fraction of the research into our candidates for elected office as we did for our fantasy football teams, we would have the government we desperately need.

After a quick overview of non-realist cinema styles in the 20’s, (focus on Expressionist, Surrealist, and Montage theory). Now it’s time for student films, using techniques from each genre. This year’s title: “The Test”. Love seeing student expressions of assessments! #edusky #filmsky

Latest we’ve ever gotten the tree decorated - a strong sign that we’ve been a bit too busy. Normally it’s done on Grey Cup Sunday. Love that it’s done now, though…and it may just stay up a little longer post-Christmas this year…

Enjoyed the Vancouver Christmas market last night- for a little flavour of Germany on the west coast. Still on Winnipeg time so up before the sun. Looking forward to #vancouver #erastour tonight. Sorry I missed “never grow up”, but excited for what Saturday night holds for us!

Great post re: appropriate use of AI in education with students. "When we use bots to stand in for DEEPLY HUMAN INTERACTIONS, we create problems for children. I am begging educators to push back on this!" via @michellekbaldwin.bsky.social avenue4learning.com/2024/12/06/w...

I convinced a group of sixteen year olds to hate Woodrow Wilson as much as we all should! Is this indoctrination?

On Dec. 6, 1917, a 2.9 kiloton explosion in Halifax destroyed every building in an 800-metre radius, killed 1,700 and injured 9,000. But from the terrible tragedy of The Halifax Explosion came the tradition of the Boston Christmas Tree. Let's learn more :) 🧵1/12

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

An interesting summary of the life of Louis Riel, executed on this day. Riel’s story of discrimination and resistance, rebellion and control remains controversial in 🇨🇦 places, but not in Manitoba, where he is recognized as a founding leader and Premier. Historical Thinking Skills required. #edusky

Today is my x anniversary. I will not have another. I joined the other place following a PD suggesting a PLC was waiting for me on Twitter. In one week, my new community on @bsky.app is already as robust as the other place was, without the toxicity or ads. Thanks for all the starter packs! #edusky

Now analyzing Hugo (2011) for theme, character and formative analysis- BUT I layered our look at early Cinema with examples that Hugo pays homage to- and the students recognized and remembered them! #edusky #HATM 2/3

So happy with the reaction of my Cinema as a Witness to Modern History class (Manitoba Social Studies option). Looked at Critical Media Lit and Film Lit basics, but sampled examples of early Cinema as well #edusky #HATM 1/3
