My 7th grader’s teacher today challenged him to fill the #vnps with his work. #ChallengeAccepted
I feel like I’m pretty late to the game in finally reading Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, but it’s a must read for anyone teaching or supporting math and science.
I'm pretty tickled that Chat GPT states "There is limited published research on the effectiveness of IXL Math specifically..." vs "There have been several studies conducted on the effectiveness of DreamBox Math in improving math skills and achievement..."

I finally had the chance to read this well-written post by @DitchThatTxtbk on ChatGPT and it's educational implications. ditchthattextbook.com/ai TL/DR: We'll have to adopt just like we did (should have?) for photomath, wikipedia, Google, calculators...
Doing #mathtalk in a 3rd grade classroom today and we couldn’t find a #wodb that met our objectives so we made our own. Any feedback? #mtbos #mathed @msrotvold
I'm presenting at #itit22 on focusing on student learning and the teacher moves to get there while using technology, and I couldn't resist including a shoutout to my favorite tech that @fnoschese coined the $2 interactive whiteboard (though inflation means closer to $3 now...
Last weekend for the first time I was a guest on a podcast. We talked education, empowering people, building a better #mathed system, funding, #modphys, I fanboyed about @desmos, and more. Check it out! open.spotify.com/episode/4eB…
