I forgot to turn off my work email notifications while we are on break.
All the #edtech company reps emailing me this week to buy their stuff are now on my blacklist.
Know your customer - don't email teachers when they are on vacation. Our calendar is publicly available.

Help needed #Google #GoogleDocs #GoogleDrive
Background: I often make Google documents to share with students to edit, set to public, no login required.
Problem: Today it seems that something called "Canva Integrations" is required for somebody to access a newly made public/edit Google Doc link. This is pervasive across several Google logins, including my work-based enterprise access.
Older Google Docs, including as recent as last week do not seem affected.
Is this Google's new business model? Something else?

Google Hit With Lawsuit Over Data Collection on School Kids
Nor for nothing, but this is the same issue some parents in Toronto and I tried to raise against Google years ago -- and Google told me that their relationship was with their clients -- the schools -- and the schools consented. It was up to the schools, they claimed, to seek parental consent.
"I worry about LLMs because they are so focused on language, and language is not optimized for truth and precision, but to tell stories about ourselves."
