Misinformation, mistakes and the Pope in a puffer: what rapidly evolving AI can – and can’t – do https://t.co/yXB9XV2JqF

Do these people look like confident writers? https://t.co/GLLGht4JdY and diffusion bias tools like it can be used as provocations to explore the fallibility of #AI images using simple adj and nouns. Thanks for the ideas @tombarrat #DEI #learning #identity

Interesting... the “inter-generational transfer” of knowledge that worked in the past is less certain. https://t.co/RHLDOX2eRL

In the surreal world of sub-teaching, just occasionally I slip something a little more creative past the Eng Nat Curriculum police. Like this response from a 10 yr old, who told me she had taught herself to code during lockdown - her explanation was amazing! #AI #selflearning

I just completed AI, Chatbots & ChatGPT for Teachers. A great intro to this whole new world. Much gratitude to Nick, the course is free! Give it a go. https://t.co/aF97kyiLaY

https://t.co/pjQZOFRClR Defining what inclusion means at an organizational level for your community can save so much time and misguided energy. Sounds simple, but not easy!

When a student is disengaged, do we attribute this to the student's "misbehavior?" After all, behaviors are choices, right? But what if we reframe our dilemma and ask what this says about our instruction and consider new strategies? #LeadInclusion #UDL #SEL #EdChat #inclusion

Here's something I created to help teachers think about approaches to online learning using MS Teams, although the approach is universal to any platform.
I hope it may be of use to someone else out there during this time of crisis - stay safe and sane everyone!

One of the great things about working at @NISChina is that I get to work with educators who see inclusion like this... https://t.co/RtPs0Qf4Tv @ruth_ruthclarke

“The learning doesn’t necessarily happen in the classroom, it’s in the arguments and debates that happen after in the corridor.” #learning2 @NISChina

Inspiring to hear students speak so eloquently with passion about the importance of their peers in learning #learning2 @NISChina
