EdTech leader in Western New York. Classes can be more engaging and innovative if technology is being used.

Married with 2 children. One child just graduated and lives in Pittsburgh, PA. The other child is still in college.

I make winter hats and give them away to students who don't have a hat in the winter. I just enjoy making the hats.

Anyone have advice on speech to text specifically for math and math equations? #math #k12education #assistivetechnology

How do we teach our communities about being good digital citizens. Apparently, a new “digital citizenship and media literacy” bill was just introduced. @edutooters @donwatkins @philshapiro

rickweinberg,

@BritishTechGuru @edutooters @donwatkins @philshapiro I disagree. If we can get to a young mind soon enough and teach them digital citizenship and media literacy, we might be able to make the world a better place. If this is not possible, then what good is education in the first place?

I could use your help. http://edtechman.blogspot.com/2024/02/i-need-some-help-with-my-project.html?m=1

#terminal #adventofcode #realpbl #python #blogpost

I know there is a subreddit for Advent of Code, but I thought I would run this past my peeps first.

@donwatkins @philshapiro @edutooters @AlSweigart

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

rickweinberg,

@AlSweigart I appreciate you looking into it this far. I’ll try to reload the images on my blog. Thank you.

rickweinberg,

@AlSweigart Hey Al. I fixed my screenshots. I’d love it if you would look at my blog. I think it is some kind of File Path issue, but I can’t figure it out. Thanks so much in advance.

rickweinberg,

@dan613 @donwatkins @philshapiro @edutooters @AlSweigart No. I have not. Thank you.

What Educators Need to Know about Generation Alpha - EdSurge News https://www.edsurge.com/news/2024-02-02-what-educators-need-to-know-about-generation-alpha

rickweinberg,

@unklar This is a good article. I wonder how parenting has changed and might be effecting child development. Is it possible, due to Cell Phones, that parents are talking less and less to their children, which research shows puts them behind in their development. @donwatkins @edutooters #education #generation_alpha #teaching #learning #children #parenting

:deadbird: If you're still an active Twitter user, you're a collaborator in Elon Musk's racism and anti-Semitism.

I don't know how to put it more plainly or urgently than LEAVE TWITTER and stop collaborating.

There is no excuse not to, and there are no exceptions.

rickweinberg,

@DemocracySpot crazy shit.

rickweinberg,

@DemocracySpot Is this like the difference between bystanders and upstanders?

rickweinberg,

@DemocracySpot I’m going to watch it now. It’s been around for a while.

rickweinberg, to programming

@donwatkins I'm working in Mu. It is pretty good. I wish there was a way to publish your digital art online easily like you can in #trinket.io. Any ideas? #programming #python

rickweinberg,

@donwatkins that’s a good idea.

rickweinberg,

@scerruti @edutooters @donwatkins Stephen. I agree with you. First. It sucks that your students don't get exposed to computers until your grade/class. Second. Exposure to syntax coding in high school is what you are doing. That does not mean "don't 'regress' to block coding." I'm not saying that. I'm only partly a fan of Code dot org. It is great for exposure and getting children started but sometimes it is too prescribed and does not promote students "playing with the code."

rickweinberg,

@donwatkins @edutooters Don. Thanks. My #NYSCATE presentation has been accepted. I'm looking forward to it.

rickweinberg,

@FrankKruse @donwatkins @edutooters This is awesome Frank. I love making "spirographs." When I teach children to make them (initially in #scratch) I tell them they are digital artists and I always get a bunch of "wows."

rickweinberg,

@FrankKruse @donwatkins @edutooters Hey. Frank. Look what I made using Python. #trinket.io #python #logo #turtle https://trinket.io/python/66dec87434?toggleCode=true

rickweinberg,

@donwatkins @FrankKruse @edutooters I agree. Programming and Art are not taught or appreciated. Digital Artist is an enormous field. Do you know how many digital artists work in the movie industry?

A coach can't win the game, but they can lose it. I feel that teachers can stunt a students' educational growth by believing that their students can't do hard things.

rickweinberg,

@donwatkins That's Awesome. I think it is important to model the idea that we never stop learning. You are great at that.

A major German newspaper asked me to write an opinion piece on the Supreme Court - then refused to publish it because they regard my argument that the rightwing majority stands in direct opposition to multiracial, pluralistic democracy and the modern state as too extreme. 🤷

rickweinberg,

@tzimmer_history Did they pay you?
