@futurebird This is an excellent exercise and most of your students will get a lot out of it. Be prepared though for the 3-6 who simply will not believe you. Especially if they've used ChatGPT. My CS friend has students who don't believe him when the thing in front of them differs from ChatGPT just like my language students will not accept that the machine translation is not correct/common usage.

Wanted: Advice from CS teachers -
Wanted: Advice from CS teachers@futurebird Part of it is the Instagram effect where they see all this 'effortless perfection' and get super frustrated when they hit a mistake, give up before even trying anything.

Wanted: Advice from CS teachers@futurebird I work closely with a CS teacher snd I am a language teacher and just this past Friday we had a conversation about this exact phenomenon, which we both experience. I think because they can use their first language 'perfectly' and I think because their devices work 'perfectly' they think it should be easy to do right the first time and panic when they can't. They don't know what 'perfect' looks like in math so maybe they're more patient with it. 1/2

IMPORTANT DINOSAUR DECORATIONS UPDATE@sheepnik @sindarina I tried replying to the earlier dinosaur decoration post but had to put my phone down & lost the spot. But I wanted to say that I wish I had a large stuffed dinosaur to decorate seasonally, and then I realized I do!
