NEW: An NYT investigation has found that scores of Hasidic Jewish schools in New York are purposely denying some 50,000 students a basic secular education – and have received $1 billion in taxpayer dollars over the last 4 years. w/ @brianmrosenthal

@HelloMrDanny @BBonuedi @karimkai The team from Desmos has in fact been improving it every day for years - while keeping it stable and familiar for end users. It will be the exact same team of people, now inside Amplify, who will continue doing that job.

[Larry Berger @LarryAmplify]

@professorpatton @BBonuedi @karimkai It’s the thought of ingesting the fully decayed AA batteries that have been in there since the 80s that seems like the strongest deterrent.

[Larry Berger @LarryAmplify]

@m_lula @karimkai @Math912Teacher @Desmos Yes! See my commitment above.

[Larry Berger @LarryAmplify]

@BBonuedi @karimkai As the CEO of Amplify, I commit that AB will continue to remain free for teachers and students and will continue to improve in perpetuity (I will eat my TI-59 Calculator from 1979 if we break that commitment).

[Desmos @Desmos]

Together, we can serve more students and teachers. Desmos has a proven model for creating delightful and humanizing interactions between teachers, students, computers, and math. @Amplify knows how to support this work at scale.

[Desmos @Desmos]

📣 Exciting news. Desmos Classroom—the team running our free activities, free Activity builder, and math curriculum—is joining forces with @Amplify. https://t.co/p5jPwGe2LI

It's rare, but every once in a while one falls in love with an ed tech product. When it came to Mathigon, it was love at first polygon for me and the team at Amplify... I am so delighted we are joining forces. Expect big - and intricate little - things!

[Mathigon @MathigonOrg]

We’re excited to announce that Mathigon is joining @Amplify! You can read more in our press release at https://t.co/Pcuo07Pw4A.

Polypad and our other tools will remain freely available, and you can look forward to many cool new features in the next few months!

what is with this tendency in the ed sector towards terrible, redundant modifiers? i.e., "strategic leadership," "transformational innovation," and "dramatically better?"

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

Maybe it wasn’t such a great idea to reduce the number of classes that teach civics, democracy and American history?

[Mike Johnston @MikeJohnstonCO]

In 1964 a Black and Jewish man fighting for civil rights in the south were murdered for their leadership.

Today a Black and Jewish man fighting for civil rights in the south were made US Senators for their leadership.

“Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia” indeed

The Biden team may not be getting their transition briefings, but the students of American can at least get to work on some inaugural poems. #InaugurationDay2021

An educator from Oakland Unified Schools District shared this image with me. The air feels lighter as they start school this week. The future brighter. Our POTUS and VP elect will continue a path that’s been carved by the fortitude of others. Some even as young as six.

You earned it, class of 2020! See you Saturday night at your graduation celebration! This is going to be great. https://t.co/QEmzpzpeEI
