@Callunc Air filter looks bad. $25 each year. Swap that thing out.

Dude just put it back and change my damn oil

@MyronVernis Perfection from Toyota.

Do things really need to be any more complicated than this?

@teachthemx3 Interesting read. Shocked this isn’t all laid at the feet of “EdTech”. Wendy, where does the tech/device/screen time fit in to the issues we are experiencing?

@JohnZavinski @smarkreilly

@smarkreilly Just be forewarned that you rarely get more than 100 years of useful life out of a brick street or a slate roof before it needs minor repairs.

Pothole season is when our past greatness peaks through to taunt us.

@MrDanielBuck @WalkerKortson76 @Jordan_C_Adams There are some good revision history tools in Google Docs, one of which is aptly named Revision History. There are still some ways Ss can defeat this, but at that stage, you are spot on with IN CLASS blue books being a real option! Love it!

@WalkerKortson76 @Jordan_C_Adams Type on google doc and check their edit history? If they dump 8 paragraphs of text in one go, clear sign of copy+paste?

Any work sent home or completed on a computer will be done by AI and chatbots The only option is hand written, old-fashioned tests and essays now

Cybersecurity is bolstered by data minimization & limiting access. Addt'l great points from @MTebbenkamp | Data can't be compromised if it doesn't exist, so don't collect data without a defined need! Ensure student data is deleted when no longer needed! #METAA

Good points to consider from @MTebbenkamp | Technology isn’t innovation…or adding new tools. It is a mindset shift for continuous improvement with evidence-informed changes… #METAA

@MrKWisconsin Just curious....A glitch with the accommodations put in by a staff member or on the Chromebook/device assessment platform?

Nothing says “Happy First Day of Standardized Testing” than a glitch that doesn’t allow students with accommodations to log in.

Poor data governance can erode trust among staff, the community, parents, and even the entire educational system. Governance is about trust, not paperwork! #METAA @MTebbenkamp

Excellent kick off by President Jim Sullivan for the #METAA Cybersecurity & Data Summit, Day 1 | #edtech #cosn

@minnano_dougaww Oddly. It’s frustrating because it highlights everything.

@MochReinjinio This brought me back to my first skateboard and setting it all up. What an exciting time.

@GigglingGanon This a Land Cruiser? Could be 25 years old with 200k miles and still worth $20k.

How many do they think we need?? The Toyota engineers really sat in a room and said, "Americans aren't just drivers; they are professional consumers of fluids and collectors of eyewear." 🥤🕶️ I’m convinced this interior was designed by someone who thought the average US commute involves three Big Gulps and a family of eight who all forgot their sunglasses at the same time. It’s not just a car; it’s a mobile storage unit for every gas station purchase you’ve ever made.

@NoStressTech Handwriting should come back. Better notes, better for the brain, less screen time, more focus on listening & capturing big ideas Ts discuss. If the alternative is AI slop that requires every tech tool deployed & a lack of trust w/ studnets, paper/pencil sounds great!

@CallahanLuke Correct that's why I'm saying better lesson design is the answer not tech to block things. Handwriting though isn't better lesson design, it's avoiding the problem.

If students are bypassing Google's Originality reports and the Revision History extension, it makes sense to step back & focus on in-class writing (pencil/paper) or having Ss write in a structured digital environment (lab) where teachers can observe writing in real time.

@NoStressTech It would do us all good to take a step back. When there aren't enough tech tools to keep up, we can either keep chasing our tails or adjust practice. Ss can type in rows in a lab, use Google Forms (locked mode), or use paper/pencil. We can't add a 56th extension/tool to the kit.

@CallahanLuke You do this and then you risk alienating teachers who now have to decipher handwriting and now it takes longer for a feedback loop and grading. The answer instead is change the assignment structure to avoid bypasses.

2 weeks without smartphone internet significantly improved sustained attention. The effects were similar to being a decade younger.

Ave person checks their phone 186x a day. That's an interruption every 5 min. This shrinks the brain, causing lost capacity for deep reasoning and sustained thought. Deep focus strengths neural networks for complex thought.

The holy grail of trapper keepers

@KelseyTuoc @gtmom I’d invert two of the three. Screens at school should be academically focused in favor of passive screens at home.

@gtmom School screens are a terrible idea and home screens should be done very thoughtfully but car screens actually seem reasonable to me, they're not really substituting for some better activity

POV, you were worried your child might be bored in the 10 minutes spent transitioning between home screens and school screens so you chose the $90k SUV with built-in tablet-holding headrests
