K12Science Podcast:  Data Science Education, Part 1

I was recently reading the November-December 2025 issue of “The Science Teacher”, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read a featured article written Matthias Fisher, Cody Pritchard, Zhen Xu, and Joshua Rosenberg. They wrote an article entitled, “Finding Your Way into Data Science Education as a Science Teacher.”

This is the first podcast of three podcasts on the topics of Data, Data Science, and Data Science Education.  In this article, the authors aimed to support science teachers without backgrounds in data science. by addressing three major challenges:  

1.  The lack of training to teach data science.  

2. The difficulty of designing relevant and engaging data science lessons.  

3. The challenge of teaching data science with limited technological resources.  

In this podcast I address challenge #1.

Antisocial Media

What it is: Remember when your social media feed was mostly made up of people you actually knew? Well, New York Magazine (paywalled) wrote about how algorithms could be making us more individualistic, instead of connecting us like tech companies promised they would.

Why it matters: “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet” was once a common adage from parents to their children, and it is perhaps more relevant today than it has ever been. But as our algorithms become more tailored, each of us grows more convinced that what we are seeing is true, and that it is other people who have been duped. A leaked Meta memo from 2022 laid out its short-form content strategy, aimed at competing with TikTok, which focused on shifting from “social” to “unconnected” content. The results? Today, no person’s algorithm is like another’s; each person’s feed is a unique silo of their interests, political leanings, and everything in between. Instead of being a place to connect with others, social media has become hyperspecific and insular.

The Secrets Behind 5 Optical Illusions

Optical illusions are more than just magic tricks for the eyes — they’re a fascinating peek into the mysterious workings of the brain. At their core, these illusions are about how we interpret visual information: Our eyes take in light and send signals to the brain, but sometimes these signals get mixed up, leading to perceptions that don’t align with reality. Some optical illusions use contrast, perspective, and light refraction to deceive the brain; others work on a more complex cognitive level, tapping into the subconscious mind.

Melvindale Youth in Government Draft AI Bill (Very much in progress!)   

Bill No HB 1

Category: 

Delegation: Strong Middle School

Introduced By:  

 This Bill will mandate added restrictions on the use of AI in public schools. 

 THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

1. Section 1:

2. All students who use AI should be supervised in school so they can only use AI 3-5 times a day. However, if they use it to cheat, they will lose the privilege to use AI. Students who are using AI are encouraging people to cheat like college kids. 

 3. Section 2:

4. If students continue to use AI throughout the year and don’t obey the policy, then AI will be banned on all devices.

5. Section 3: 

6. All kids who use AI should be supervised in school so they can only use AI 3-5 times a day. And if they use it to cheat, they will lose the privilege to use AI.

8. Section 4:

9. The state of Michigan will enforce this.

25% of Harvard students use AI in school

Who or what does it impact: 

It impacts kids who want to cheat.

Background: 

–  Information on its working

Benefits of this bill: 

This bill will benefit all teachers, ensuring that their students do not cheat. 

Drawbacks:

One drawback is that kids will have to get used to not using AI all the time. And with that being said, kids will have to start learning and paying attention more instead of their work on assignments being done for them, and all they have to do is copy something down. Though this may set a repeat in grades, as kids do not pay attention and fail classes.

K12Science Podcast:  Museum Educator

I was recently reading the November-December 2025 issue of “The Science Teacher”, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the section, “Career of the Month” written by Luba Vangelova. She wrote an article entitled, “Museum-Based Educator Tammy Cook-Endres.”

Museum-based science educators encourage curiosity and hands-on learning about science. Depending on their areas of expertise, they may work with children, adults, or people of all ages. The field of museum education is most suitable for people who have some teaching experience, enjoy working with people, and can inspire a love of science.

Two Truths & AI is an interactive digital literacy game for grades K–12 that teaches students to identify AI-generated content and develop critical media literacy skills. Through an engaging, 60-second challenge, students try to distinguish between real and AI-generated movie posters. It’s a fun way for students to test their AI detective skills, while also building their critical thinking muscles.

Slang of the Week:

Choppelganger

A hybrid of two words, choppelganger combines the slang term “chopped” with “doppelganger.” If someone is “chopped,” it means they’re unattractive or undesirable (a definition you can find in our updated Parent Guide to Teen Slang!), and a doppelganger is someone with an uncanny resemblance to someone else. Put together, choppelganger basically means someone who looks like someone else but is uglier, like a cheap knock-off. So fathers, if someone calls you Brad Pitt’s choppelganger, it might not be a compliment.

Many teachers do not like science fairs, but there are many ways to have a science festival that avoids most of the issues that impact students, teachers, and families. A science fair can be redesigned to be less stressful and more genuinely educational by shifting the focus from competition to learning.

Strategies:

Save the Student Essay

How do you learn philosophy? By doing it, of course. You read great texts and understand opposing philosophical views. Then you try to form a view yourself—initially through reflection and dialogue but eventually, and more seriously, by thinking and rethinking on the page.

To do philosophy the right way, the “slow cook” method is recommended. You let ideas stew, unattended, bubbling up to the surface once they’re ready.

Yet at this point it’s educational malpractice for professors to blithely assign slow-cooked (take-home) essays. You’re playing your students. You’re playing yourself.

Learning by getting it wrong (on purpose)

This isn’t about learning through failure or productive failure or productive struggle

or any of those failing approaches that let kids flail.

It’s more a possible extension of retrieval practice with hints of interleaving.

For years, cognitive science has told us something that still feels counterintuitive in classrooms: trying to remember (retrieval practice) beats rereading, even when it feels harder. Retrieval practice has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable learning strategies we have.

Tamagotchigogy: A Pedagogical Framework of Care, Feedback, and Responsiveness

Tamagotchigogy is a new pedagogical framework that uses the Tamagotchi digital pet as a metaphor for learning itself. It emphasizes care, feedback, responsiveness, and engagement as essential to sustaining cognitive and emotional growth. This article outlines the theoretical foundations, instructional implications, and practical applications of Tamagotchigogy. Drawing from constructivism, self-regulated learning, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), care ethics in education, and active learning research, Tamagotchigogy proposes a learner-centered approach that repositions teaching as a responsive act of developmental stewardship.

We Need to Talk About How We Talk About ‘AI’

“AI” is not your friend. Nor is it an intelligent tutor, an empathetic ear, or a helpful assistant. It can not “make up” facts, and it does not make “mistakes”. 

The problem with anthropomorphic descriptions is that they risk masking important limitations of probabilistic automation systems, which make them fundamentally different from human cognition.

Rephrasing the language we use to describe these interactions is truly swimming upstream, because not only do the companies selling these systems describe them as communicators, they also make many design choices to support this illusion.

People may form friendly feelings towards inanimate objects or technology, but they are entirely unidirectional — surely, we would not call a child’s plush toy a friend of theirs without at least a prefix of “imaginary”.

A more deliberate and thoughtful way forward is to talk about “AI” systems in terms of what we use systems to do, often specifying input and/or output. That is, talk about functionalities that serve our purposes, rather than “capabilities” of the system. Rather than saying a model is “good at” something (suggesting the model has skills) we can talk about what it is “good for”. Who is using the model to do something, and what are they using it to do?

How To Teach With No Resources

Imagine walking into class to find there’s no textbook, no projector, no printer, and not even a whiteboard marker that works. Most teachers would panic. But the truth is, you don’t need any of it. Great lessons don’t depend on stuff — they depend on you, your students, and a few flexible ideas you can pull from your back pocket.

Why teaching with no resources works

Here’s why the magic happens when you strip everything back:

  • It builds connection. Students interact with you and each other, not a page.
  • It develops independence. They learn to listen, speak, and think instead of fill in blanks.
  • It grows your confidence. Once you can run a lesson anywhere, you’re unstoppable.
  • It deepens learning. Active recall and personalisation beat passive reading every time.
