A cartoon-style illustration for "EdTechSR Ep 368: The OpenClaw Warning" contrasts the chaotic risks of AI with the stability of education. On the left, a panicked man in a blue plaid shirt struggles with a mechanical "Agentic AI" claw crushing a tablet, labeled as a "security risk" against a backdrop of crumbling traditional media buildings. On the right, a calm man in a pink plaid shirt holds a "Humanities & Debate" book near a "Media Literacy" school building, symbolizing "critical thinking." In the center, a glowing blue "Gemini" robot stands on a stack of books labeled "NotebookLM" and "Knowledge Oracle," while a background monitor depicts "Troll Culture" as a literal monster.

I vibe coded a local server “Typing Bee” application for keyboarding practice today:
github.com/wfryer/typing-bee

#edtech #edtechSR #AI #VibeCoding #MediaLit #MediaLiteracy

A diverse group of students eagerly participates in a "Typing Bee" competition in a festive classroom decorated with balloons and banners. The children sit at long tables using vibrant, colorful laptops while a large screen at the front displays a leaderboard and bee graphics. Encouraging speech bubbles like "You got this!" and "Nice wpm!" float above the students, highlighting a positive and supportive learning environment.

I started a new website today, “News with Wes Fryer,” which aggregates several different news link sharing spaces I’m updating regularly. It also includes my “Federated Reader” coding project that shares links to all the Substack and other newsletters I subscribe to. I’m going to start a new YouTube video series titled, “What Happened Grandpa?!” that I’ll be adding soon. Check it out!

(One of the coolest video aggregation apps and projects I’ve seen to date) #edtechSR #geekoftheweek #cooltech #ds106

An image featuring a vibrant, retro-themed graphic with the text "I WANT MY" in white, bold, capital letters at the top. Below this, the iconic 1980s-style MTV logo—a large yellow "M" with a red "TV" scrawled across it—is centered above the word "REWIND" in a multi-colored gradient font. The entire design is set against a nostalgic background of diagonal pink and purple zebra-like stripes on a blue field.
