The 2025 #MoodleMoot Japan comes to a close in Kyoto, Japan! We #moodle to empower #educators to change the #world! Fun was had by all!

To all my friends who are #teachers and #educators: be aware that the U.S. Department of #Education now has an online form that any Joe Blow can submit, where people can report you for so-called "divisive ideologies," "indoctrination," and "illegal discriminatory practices." The URL makes it clear what they mean by those terms: https://enddei.ed.gov/ . Whether you choose to alter your pedagogy or not based on the existence of this $h!t is up to you, but I wanted you to know about it.

Of the group of would-be teachers who watched the news from Columbine that day in April 1999, I am the only one still teaching.”

Dear #Educators everywhere:
This is a perfect showcase for 'How a chatbot distorts history and does not further any kind of deeper/critical understanding of anything'.
You can use my post, the screenshots, and everything else as you please, you don't have to ask my permission. (See my bio for the CC BY.)

Please talk with your students about this, why it's bad and how we can deal with that as a enlightened society.

#Parents & #teachers & #students in #Canada - please be aware that the #AI industry definitely has #PublicEducation on its #capitalist exploitation radars. Watch out for more of our governments, on all levels, to try & replace human teachers / #educators with AI. It's already happening in Quebec. Barely anyone in BC seems aware of the risks of AI being used as digital replacement for human educators.
