My Most Popular Tweets Of The Month

I used to post weekly collections of my best tweets, and used Storify to bring them together.

Unfortunately, Storify went under.

Fortunately, however, Wakelet was a new tool that was able to import all of a person’s Storifys. So you can see all those previous Twitter “Best” lists here.

I don’t want to risk putting all the work into those posts again and risk losing them all.

So, instead of creating weekly “Best” lists of tweets, I’m going to use Twitter analytics to determine my most popular ones and embed them directly here in posts. That way, the only way they’d go away would be if Twitter itself went out of business.

So, here are my most popular tweets from the past thirty days or so (Note that, like many things in Twitter these days, their analytics seems to be broken, so it appears a number of more recent tweets are missing):

It’s August, which means I should start thinking about planning for the upcoming school year, but I just don’t want to

I don’t think many K-12 educators have done much wondering about it – it’s been pretty clear to us how much tech & testing companies have been sucking out of our schools for a long time https://t.co/tXhW41td9e

I just saw a screenshot of a Google Classroom feature (that I assume is in beta) called “Origin Writing Report.” It seems to be like “Draftback,” in that it shows the shows the writing process used by students. Does anyone know anything about it?

Echoes of what we teachers hear about since it’s our “calling,” we should be less concerned about compensation and support https://t.co/vNy5NRhHTf

This is absolutely awful.

Also, I wonder if/when some charter schools will start using algorithms to project with students to “counsel out” students (or are some using them already?). Obviously, a fair amount do this without algorithms now. https://t.co/vrpS8MglnB

This piece is rightly critical of the AI responses & it’s example of why AI will not “revolutionize” schooling. I think it also misses that most textbooks also play it safe, & good tchrs always bring in supplemental materials. These interviews r 1 place I think AI can be useful https://t.co/OWnDI5CjRP

My lesson going along swimmingly, and then the class is disrupted by hailstorm outside or a lockdown or Internet goes down or some “important” announcements come from the intercom or 2 students get into a fight or student starts crying because her boyfriend broker up w/her or…. https://t.co/Y2elymsv6m
