You can have fun without sacrificing rigor. Two students @UTAustin talk about how fun enriched their learning experience, and motivated them to show up for a 450 person class at 8:00am.

Big issue in organizations: They have put together elaborate rules for AI use focused on negative use cases.

As a result, employees are too scared to talk about how they use AI, or to use corporate LLMs. They just become secret cyborgs, using their own AI & not sharing knowledge

Neat AI tool for homework help. But...even the advertisement gives the wrong answers for Econ questions!

Also, PSA, don't use it on an exam, that would be academic misconduct.

Tweaking existing class syllabi and drawing a new one for a brand new course. Before I finish & share, from my intro course - the core principle from my teaching - study and play are the same thing...

An error with applying tech, AI or otherwise, to education is to assume that students want to learn most topics voluntarily, and if given the right tools, will self-teach.

But the truth is that intrinsic motivation is usually not enough, especially because learning is often hard

[Dr. T. Keith Edmunds @tkedmunds.bsky.social @edmunds_t]

Happy Bobby Bonilla day who’s getting paid 1.19 million by the Mets today. Can’t also forget, he also has a second deferred contract with the Baltimore Orioles for another $500.000 every year from 2004 until 2029.

With respect to the entire Panthers team, there was one man I wanted to speak with tonight. This one. His answers are the reason why.

Freeland keeps saying that the capital gains increase will only affect 0.13% of Canadians, but 20% expect to pay more. Whoops

[Scott Van Pelt @notthefakeSVP]

Enjoyed the conversation we had with @b_dechambeau for SportsCenter. But I’m not going to tell you it’s as good as this. Because it’s not. @johnson_wagner is a tv star.
