Introducing MoonPiLlama

Adam Jenkins has made a Youtube video showing how to install #MoodleBox and Ollama on a Raspberry Pi4. MoodleBox is a custom distribution of #Moodle specifically for the Raspberry Pi. However the Moodle part includes good information on generally how to get Ollama and Moodle to work together. It also includes gratuitous use of a yellow rubber duck
(Yes Pi 4 not Pi 5).

Differentiation Made Easy
Not all students start at the same place, so why should your sims? With #PhETStudio, you can easily clone presets to make unique versions for unique experiences. Scaffolding lessons just got a lot easier. #InteractYourWay #edtech

I wrote a short article about a multi-week unit we wrapped up today in my middle school web design class, in which students created "Media Kits" using images and information from The Smithsonian, The US Library of Congress, or NASA.

Yesterdays STACK Maths seminar

The STACK webinar for the #Moodle Academy yesterday went well. One of the things that came from it was an interest in the freely available banks of questions that ship with it in Moodle mbz backup files. These are from the HELM project (Helping Engineers Learn Maths?) and cover a very wide range of concepts you can get instant student access to a course with the contents from here.

#Moodle 5.0 includes a feature described as
“New #quiz attempt states and asynchronous attempt creatio”
You can read the ticket here

https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-68806

In that ticket it says

“Doing this should help greatly smooth out the two biggest peaks in server load when students are making simultaneous quiz attempts.”

I believe this will allow large scale quizzes to run with less hardware and uncertainty.

Teachers are raising alarms about AI in classrooms! As we embrace tech, let’s ensure it enhances learning, not replaces it. Safeguards are essential to keep education human-centered. What are your thoughts? #EdTech #AI

As AI creeps into classrooms, teachers are sounding the alarm. Are we ready for a future where algorithms grade our kids? Let's not forget the human touch in education. #EdTech #AI
