Today I’ve been wondering what sort of boundaries and policy we could set around use of ChatGPT in our secondary school classrooms. So I asked the source, and this was the first response. A great start for a discussion and for us to work with. Time saver, what?!?!

Say goodbye to hours of report writing!

Thanks to GPT, my faculty is now producing 30 high-quality student reports in under an hour.

Over a few days of testing, we discovered the secret to efficient report creation, and we’re excited to share it with others. Pass this along.

So even though I talked with Peter Dutton on Friday at the @McGrathFdn event, he gives a letter to multiple media outlets as “exclusive” on constitutional recognition and the Uluṟu Statement- a letter I still haven’t seen.
People are over cheap culture war stunts.

#ABCNews Great decision by Albanese govt to bring home women and children abandoned in Syria by Coalition. Don't demonise these Australians who have suffered massively with IS. #auspol

Can we have this Albo back?

[Dylan Alcott @DylanAlcott]

YES! Getting disability voices, especially in leadership positions back at the center of the NDIS is essential. Couldn’t think of a better choice (and my doppelgänger) @kurtfearnley 🔥❤️

[Tom Schimmer @TomSchimmer]

Labeling something formative does not make it so. An assessment is only formative when it's used formatively, so considering the subsequent action following the gathering of evidence is crucial; formative data collection without action is pointless & not formative #ATAssessment

Today marks 6 months until the state election.

Let’s do this NSW! 💪

#BREAKING Amy Brown who was involved in the appointment of John Barilaro has been fired.

The only people held to account for this saga have been female public servants.

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

Beyond the ugliness of competition, most school awards are essentially about compliance: If kids are outstandingly dutiful, we're spared from examining the value of what we ask them to do.
(Likewise, references to kids' "motivation" or "engagement" are often code for obedience.)

It’s very important to listen to Harry speak for himself on his own terms in his own words - and his words are frankly gobsmackingly profound, real and wise

School box meetup begins - “Schoolbox DNA- customer service “ by the size of the audience and level of service we receive- so true. #SBmu22

Let's be clear: the Pakistani people did not do this to Pakistan –– we all did, and the high-emitting nations are most responsible.

Unless we end our species' addiction to fossil fuels, every country in the world will remain in the crosshairs of the climate breakdown.

[Amy Nuara, NBCT (she/ella) @ProfeDeAngelo]

Potentially unpopular opinion: if you can’t teach the whole curriculum without homework, your curriculum is the problem. Kids aren’t“quiet quitting” by expecting to only do work @ school. After 7-8 hrs of work, they should expect to protect their peace & find joy when they leave
