Seven years later, change "Wikipedia" to "AI" and it still applies.

Interesting - what is our responsibility as teachers: to protect kids from potential misinformation, or to teach them to protect themselves?

@NCWeatherhound @NWSGSP Here's what was said 10 hours before landfall:
https://t.co/bBCms817M7

But what does that mean? What should people do with that? "Okay, I've got my laptop, TV, phone, and radio. I'm good." The alerts said "be prepared," but no one said how. Perhaps no one knew.

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

We plead with everyone that you take every single weather warning very seriously through the entirety of this event as impacts will be life-threatening and make sure to have multiple ways to receive the alerts.

@NCWeatherhound The World Equestrian Center was used as a major staging area for utility workers, but it was also almost entirely cut off by the storm.

Forecasters can warn, and people can prepare, and yet still be overwhelmed.

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@NCWeatherhound What preparations could individuals make? This is not a hurricane-prone area. There are no established evacuation routes, and I haven't heard that there were evacuation orders. The destruction was so far beyond anything previous, even the most serious warnings understated it.

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@NWSWilmingtonNC @NCWeatherhound What's the strongest wind gust recorded in Asheville? Could this Helene set that record?

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@Mr_Smiths_Class @beatmastermatt That IS freaking awesome, though!

Also, ask me sometime what Project 2025 has to do with Admiral Zheng He.

@cfhistorynerd @WestoverHS @Mr_Smiths_Class @kristle_rouse @DrVernonLowery @CumberlandCoAIG Mr. Smith is one of the best Social Studies teachers CCS has had. And I've known a few.

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@nckhui Huh. Could this be related to local pay incentives? Any sense whether this is statewide, or limited to Wake?

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@NCWeatherhound Time for pasta pomodoro!

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@GemetteM @uncfsu @CCSSuptConnelly @CumberlandCoSch Fantastic!!

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@tomhatch4unc There's a Mark Robinson sign in front of the Reid Ross parking lot. SMH.

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@ncstudents1st @nckhui "Some private schools are raising tuition" would suggest that NC is funding private school operators, not students.

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@mcadoo_erica Congratulations!

[Tom Hatch @tomhatch4unc]

You will be crying...no need to watch any Hallmark Channel movies this season. This one 5 minute "commercial" does it all💙.

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@TechySewell @stephenoonoo Yeah, depending on how you count, I either got out 10 years ago (into a coaching role) or one year ago (into ed tech)

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@TechySewell @stephenoonoo The problem, of course, is that teaching as a profession has become some poisoned that *everyone* is getting out, and there aren't the roles to support the number of people who want out. And I weep for the students we have left behind.

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@cfhistorynerd @CumberlandCoAIG Where was that?

[Jonathan Frantz @TeleTeaching]

@elonmusk Yeah, lots of good people saying good things over on Threads, actually

[NC Museum of History @NCmuseumhistory]

Attention teachers! We are once again offering transportation assistance to schools for field trips with travel grants for the 2023-2024 school year. https://t.co/cJKc6EIk2R

@FTSAnnouncement Congratulations! This is a recognition of something I've always known.
