I've created an AI Chatbot for my Philosophy 12 class on @schoolai.com that pretends to be the Ghost of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. I look forward to seeing how my students engage with it!

Do any of you BlueSky educators use SchoolAI in your classroom? If so, would you recommend it? I've been looking at the customizable Chatbots. They seem promising.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social I'm teaching a unit on Civil Disobedience to my Social Justice 12 class. I showed them the video of your actions. Thanks for fighting the good fight!

I believe integrating AI meaningfully into my classroom is essential for narrowing the digital divide. I grew up without both a computer and the internet. I'm thankful that school allowed me opportunities to develop the skills I wasn't able to at home.

This past week, my social justice class has been discussing the power of music to affect change. Kendrick Lamar's halftime show may just become case study A.

Our next project in my Social Justice 12 class focuses on the power of civil disobedience to affect change. With all that's transpiring in the world, students may see civil disobedience becoming even more of a news item in the months to come. I feel for all of my educator colleagues down south.

In Social Justice 12, my students are exploring the movements that inspired songs to be written and the social impact that followed their release. What protest songs will be written in these difficult times? What change might they bring?

Another amazing session with @katiewhite426.bsky.social yesterday! Always appreciative of opportunities the district provides on assessment and learning to be more intentional with my choices - the small shift to strength based feedback first had already had positive results
