#RT @eschoolnews: AI has the potential to transform the way we teach and learn. It's crucial to implement these tools in a way that prioritizes student privacy and security while ensuring that they don't replace human interaction and empathy in the learn… https://t.co/rhozY0hxSY

It's not going anywhere folks! So, let's teach our students how to use it productively and stop blocking/banning it from educational settings. https://t.co/HPu62s4jyN

Interesting thoughts on ChatGPT and AI from @DanFitzTweets this morning. If AI is potentially exasperating the divide between the educated and the uneducated, we will be doing our students a HUGE disservice if we are not helping them gain AI-literacy skills! #cantignorethis

[Dan Fitzpatrick @theaieducatorx]

AI won't replace teachers, it will replace teachers who can't use it.

Teachers stay future-proof by:

1. Being sh*t hot at learning design (Pedagogy)
2. Being good at getting what you need from AI (Promptcraft)

You'll have number 1 sorted, so let's focus on number 2.

PRIVATE COMMENTS ARE BEST BEST BEST BEST PART OF GOOGLE CLASSROOM! It should not just be about collecting and passing out work, but rather the opportunity to have CONVERSATIONS with feedback. #googleclassroom #googleEDU

We work in a system that was never created for all students. That is the harsh reality of our daily work. Time to shift that system! #educationalinequities

[Dr. Melyssa Ferro @MelyssaFerro]

Our phones get updated more frequently than our educational system. That's a problem for the children that we serve. #systemicinequities

What a powerful challenge to push ourselves as educators in our practice... don't just practice the easy and fun stuff that you already do well! @UtahTOY2014 #NNSTOY2022 #teachersleading

There's a nurse shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

There's an engineering shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

There's a pilot shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

If this sounds illogical, how does it make sense for teachers?

[Dr. Melyssa Ferro @MelyssaFerro]

There's a difference between the people that we "teach with" and the people that we "teach alongside"... building our professional networks is a great way to avoid burnout and support each other! @AlexKajitani #NNSTOY2022 #teachersleading
