"The more things you have, the more things you have to manage.
Simplicity isn't merely cheaper, it's easier."

“AI seeks to automate processes that achieve goals, but AI should never set goals. The goals must come from educators’ vision of teaching and learning and educators’ understanding of students’ strengths and needs.”

I love this from @DevorahHeitner on the @EdSurge podcast:

"We are telling kids 'don't get caught' instead of emphasizing 'be a good human; be in alignment with your values.'"

"In the era of AI, the most critical skill isn't computational; it's emotional. As algorithms take over logic, it's our human ability to connect, empathize, and inspire that will define impactful education." – @NickWoolf_VT #AIinEducation https://t.co/Ww2YsryV5F #SEL #edchat

LinkedIn is full of viral “AI cheat sheets” that contain no useful information and tons of mistakes, randomly organized with bad clip art

It is a growing problem with algorithmic platforms that financially reward likes (as Twitter now does). The incentive is for popular nonsense

How can we use #AI to make research more accessible & actionable for educators?

Research-practice integration is a subject that I am particularly passionate about thanks, in large part, to my time at @EPCSHD.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

In a new paper showing that AI comes up with more effective prompts for other AIs than humans do, there is this gem that shows how weird AIs are...

The single most effective prompt was to start by telling the AI "Take a deep breath and work step-by-step!" https://t.co/0dGFc3kya5

[Nick Woolf @NickWoolf_VT]

Understanding the nature of generative AI will be super important for educators as they navigate the evolving landscape of teaching and learning.

This new report explores how we might re-conceptualize our vision of effective education.
