If you need to plan a meeting or event with multiple folks and check availability (and not everyone is on the same calendaring system like Google or Outlook, or may not know how to use those systems for meeting coordination) I enjoy using When2meet:
https://www.when2meet.com/?About

It’s free, simple, and visually powerful. Great UI / design.

1 of my 6th graders shared this “SIFT-worthy” disinformation example today: “Is the London Eye Getting Dismantled and Moved to Scotland?
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/london-eye-moving-to-scotland/

I added it (with screenshots from archived web captures of the original post / photos) to my “More SIFT Lessons” curriculum page:

This morning I’m dreaming of Internet Radio: My OWN Internet radio station patterned after the amazing example of ds106 Radio.

“It would be odd if TikTok consumption was not having an effect on younger people’s perceptions of the war,” @uwcip research scientist @mikecaulfield told Gizmodo. “I don’t think there’s any doubt it has an impact. But it’s a long leap from there to claiming that this is due to specific suppression of content. There are just so many other possibilities.”

More successful prompt engineering with Generative AI:

I used ChatGPT to create a custom formula in Google Sheets to compare email addresses of students in my classes this year who need a Minecraft Education account, to those setup last year, so I could ask my IT department to just setup NEW accounts:

Eric Curts @ericcurts is remarkable for so many reasons as an educator & educational technology #edtech / #googleEDU expert. One of them is the generous & comprehensive way he shares resources from all his sessions! Check out everything Eric is sharing this year at #ISTE23!

@ct_bergstrom I recommend ignoring vitriolic drivel like that message & not giving it oxygen. We do need to be aware of the darkness in the world, but we need to be careful not to over-amplify it in our quest to fill our lives with more messages reflecting kindness / "the good" rather than evil. This is a difficult line to walk when it comes to media literacy education, I think. #MediaLit

My thought: HYPERLINKED WRITING! We need students to regularly engage in LATERAL READING & then include their hyperlinks to other sources about that source / additional sources.

Also: We need more databases of actual election-related advertisements used on Facebook and other social media platforms to use in comparative lessons / case studies. Jevin West @jevinwest referenced NYU Ad Observatory https://adobservatory.org/ which resulted in litigation from Facebook.

The Media Education Lab @MediaEdLab (Renee Hobbs @reneehobbs) has a good database of propaganda examples: https://propaganda.mediaeducationlab.com/browse

1 way now to check for ChatGPT resources: Ask students to provide their sources, then verify those sources (hyperlinks)

Check for article “DOIs” (Digital Object Identifier) if they are correct or not.
https://ask.library.uic.edu/faq/345899

ChatGPT is making up information in the text AS WELL AS actual sources ALL THE TIME.

Shifting to more oral-based, in-class assessments. Making sure students can explain ideas / explain their learning.
