Hey #Cohort21, here is my latest Book Review: WAYI WAH! by @luudisk An incredible resource for non-indigenous educators to integrate Indigenous knowledge and to Act for Reconciliation in their teaching and learning practice.

As It Happens with Nil Köksal, Chris Howden: Students are using AI in their university applications. This admissions director says that's OK https://t.co/s7zXjzTXXH

[Garth Nichols @Think_teach]

@mistermdblack @HavergalCollege Agreed!

[Garth Nichols @Think_teach]

Reading @HarvardBiz, I was contemplating considerations on AI’s potential impact on educators to support admin’ efficiencies while freeing up time for building relationship w/ students & colleagues.

Lots to consider when it come to a robust PD experience like @Cohort21

"We asked a group of 13- to 21-year olds to share their thoughts about speculative AI products and services. Their responses surprised us."

Late to this article, but still resonates and is timely to consider as we head back to campus:

“Where the analogy breaks down is that, with AI, this technology is reversing the democratising dynamic of the printing press.”

Check out my latest Book Review: "The Future is Analog" by @saxdavid An excellent forensic accounting of all that we experienced during the pandemic, and what we can learn from it to make a more human world :)

Highly recommend! #Cohort21

[Garth Nichols @Think_teach]

This is a great read for educators from @HarvardBiz on AI. It is outlining the areas of skill development that we need, and if you read my Tweet last week about the @wef Skills report, you will see a lot of resonance.

The @wef Future of Jobs Report reveals excellent insights educators can't ignore: Resiliency, Flexibility & Adaptability, and Curiosity & Life Long learning are two of the top 5 Core Skills. How might curriculum develop & grow these skills?

Really interesting:

“Since the dawn of Pong, psychiatrists have been debating whether or not to treat excessive gaming as an addiction. In 2018, the World Health Organization recognized “internet gaming disorder.””

Thanks for sharing!

[ALIVE Outdoors @ALIVEOutdoors]

This is a long read. It's also very eye opening and frightening. All the more reason we need to be helping nurture young people's strengths and getting them active outside. https://t.co/upGbVE6iJ8

Well, I didn't think this would matter - until I saw it in print. There is something to be said about all kinds of external validation. T’oyaxsut ‘nüüsm for everyone's support this past year! It's a happy day for me!

Grateful to have facilitated the first ever @CAIS_Schools LI in-person Pluralism module and to hear about the amazing work happening across Turtle Island. This is the quote I've clung to this year - may it inspire you to do the same.

[Garth Nichols @Think_teach]

Generative AI can remove this obstacle… [Its] greatest potential is not replacing humans; it is to assist humans in their individual and collective efforts to… democratize innovation.

Humans have boundless creativity. However, the challenge of communicating their concepts in written or visual form restricts vast numbers of people from contributing new ideas… 1/2

[Garth Nichols @Think_teach]

So much gratitude for @CAIS_Schools @jasonbrogers @gleechem @Myke_Healy for incredible learning heading into the summer. A great week of making new connections too!

[Cohort 21 @Cohort21]

So many great #Cohort21 folks from so many seasons! Thanks to @CAIS_Schools for bringing us all together!

@CISOntario

[Garth Nichols @Think_teach]

My big take aways from Faculty Culture module working with @jasonbrogers

Know: culture building is an evolution not a revolution

Understand: Cultural planning should align with strategic planning

Do: create a culture deck to support people belonging in the org’n
