Cinco de Mayo 

Also, the last day of teacher appreciation week. Rubio’s tacos for lunch, courtesy of the PTC. Honestly, I was more appreciative of the $40 Amazon gift card. 

And, I’m thinking about next year’s classes. The district is asking me to incorporate AI/ChatGPT into my classes. And, I keep thinking about this post (along with others) by Ben Williamson: 

AI in education should be treated critically and skeptically whatever the possible benefits. There is so far little evidence supporting the grand claims made for it. It's more an object of financial speculation, commercial expansion plans and, for some, reputational capital-building. So education research needs to find good ways of re-examining it, and sensible proposals for its regulation.

More rain today. Pretty sure it’s going to rain all week :/ 

Headed to Revel after work to pick up Dad’s golf clubs. Not sure how I feel about him giving up the game. 

Annual “get together” for work this afternoon. Last year, it was sunny and 90. Today, rainy and 60. Such is May weather. Such is the shitshow of working for a living. 

More rain and unseasonably cool weather today.  Even got some thunder and lightning shortly after this video was taken. At least I made it to the gym and got a solid workout. 

Moved my desk out of the front room. There was a full size bed in there previously. Maybe a change of view will motivate me to finish my dissertation.
