This is a much more inspiring vision for AI and education than anything else I've come across. Keep the rapper in the process.

NEVER ever say:
"Hi prof"
"Hello"
"Dear Professor"
"Greetings of the day"
Instead use:
“What’s crackin’, dork”
“Howdy partner”
“Salute plurimam dicit. Si vales, bene est, ego valeo”
“Breaker, breaker, science shaker”
“Honk honk!”

In your application letter for #PhD / postdoc, NEVER ever say:
"Hi prof"
"Hello"
"Dear Professor"
"Greetings of the day"
If you do, your email will be immediately deleted by 99% of professors.
▫️
Only start your applications with “Dear Prof. [second_name],”
And don’t describe how good you are. Explain how valuable you are.
▫️
[Professionalism] [Value] can go a long way.
Good luck.

The first session I’ve seen that is so oversubscribed on the #sxswedu app that it’s RED! I’m glad that educators here are gaining tools about how to have uncomfortable conversations around race in schools!

What if our rubrics were wheels instead of linear progressions that give the impression of learning coming to an end? A colleague brought me this idea and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Reluctantly entering the tik tok thunderdome.
Turns out translating all of human knowledge into rhyming couplets is my life's calling.
