I am at a time in the school year when the paperwork starts piling up. So, I built an app to help me with teacher evaluations. Try it out for free!

Does anyone have an update re: Fable 5? I just read a lot of speculation about what is "happening behind the scenes" or "whose fault it is." I just want to know when it's coming back.

@ClaudeDevs Why not do like OpenAI just did and give us a "reset" to use when we want?

Today I’m thankful for Mr. Murray. Best teacher I ever had.

Missed yesterday, so two today: I am grateful for the @LibbyApp for helping me keep my reading habit affordable...really free.

Gratitude Post Day 7: I am grateful for @susancain

Her book, Quiet, helped me realize that my introversion was not a disadvantage but a superpower.

Spent a bit of time on YouTube looking for practical AI tutorials made for educators. Actual how-to stuff, not think-pieces, not join my community to get more. Hard to find. I'm an educator that uses AI. Part of me wants to just start making them. Would that be worth watching?

Gratitude Post Day 6: I am grateful for my experiences, both positive and negative. These experiences shaped who I am today.

[Mike @giroux72]

Gratitude Post Day 5: I am thankful for the friends that I have.

[Mike @giroux72]

Gratitude Post Day #4: I am grateful for my dog who is happy to greet me at the door when I get home from a long day.

[Mike @giroux72]

I am feeling grateful for my family.

[Mike @giroux72]

Today, I am grateful that I work in education. It's a long year and we are coming to the end of it, but I know that it is worth it.

[Mike @giroux72]

@cheneypiano @mhp_guy Starting my 30 day journey of being grateful today with the two of you for inspiring me to start this 30 day journey. Grateful for your content. Well done!

@Catlin_Tucker The line about small group not being reserved for Tier 2/3 is the one I keep coming back to. So much of what we call “intervention” is really just Tier 1 done with the right group size from the start.

@vmiss33 @Tailscale @outsource_ I'm running Hermes and have been thinking about trying this setup with Tailscale. For folks who've added phone access, how well does it actually work day to day? Any gotchas with latency, auth, or keeping the workspace usable on mobile?

[Mike @giroux72]

@AppleEDU This is the kind of AI-in-education support teachers actually need: practical guidance around creativity, safety, and classroom judgment. The big unlock is helping educators use AI intentionally rather than reactively.

[Mike @giroux72]

@pmarca Better AI use still seems to come down to context-setting. A strong prompt is less about magic wording and more about making expectations, standards, and reasoning habits explicit.

[Mike @giroux72]

Thinking a lot about the next wave of AI workspaces: less one perfect model and more practical systems that connect tools, memory, local context, and everyday workflows. The question is not just what AI can answer, but how well it can live inside the way we actually work.
