I've long been enjoying reading and lurking on bluesky, and am going to transition to sharing my research and thinking there instead of here. I'm over there. I hope more educators and ed researchers consider making the same move :).

collecting this data and witnessing these teachers' experiences radically shifted what I thought I was interested in studying, and started me on an obsessive path of documenting how platforms are shaping teaching in my dissertation. more to come :).

@LMT_Journal @sskavanagh @lynseymathed above all, I'm thrilled to be able to put our teacher participants' voices in print, who made it clear to us that they felt silenced by the power platform data was given in instructional decision-making. See the eponymous quote excerpted below.

Thrilled to have this piece out in @LMT_Journal, in which @sskavanagh, @lynseymathed and I describe the ways elementary teachers found their math instruction to be contorted and surveilled through platform data when returning to in-person instruction

thrilled to see AI skepticism taken up in a sci-ed journal! beautifully written, will be thinking about this quote for a long time: "unexpected and unique ideas may be the most useful for deepening student thinking. recognizing these ideas is crucial to promoting equity".
