Strong interests in Ed Tech for Learning and Teaching especially as relates to Computational Thinking, Science, Maths and Coding. Living in Beta!!!!!

Teaching is a caring profession. Generative AI is intrinsically careless and uncaring. If teachers adopt AI with care (in all meanings of that word), not only is that the best route to enhance education, it also safeguards their future.

UNESCO has published a clear Quick Start Guide to generative AI in education, including how to get started, safe use, challenges, innovative teaching. In English and Spanish. #ChatGPT #AIED https://t.co/ebizJVDAk6

Tychos sim of the week...

Model air resistance on a falling object:

Going to try to get a new one out every week until our demo library has a good collection.

Investigating how the magnetic field strength changes as a probe is passed between two magnets, using @pascoscientific a rotatory motion sensor with a magnetic probe attached to it.

Things that Schools should teach: 🧠

• Being wrong is not a bad thing.
• It's Okay to question what you have been taught.
• Grades aren't as valuable as skills.
• Understanding is more important than memorization.
• Making mistakes is Okay. Learn from your mistakes.

1/ An important aspect of creating content for learning involves decisions about how to present information by combining various multimedia elements. If you do this, you should know about Richard Mayer's research.

Here is a thread summarizing some of the key principles 👇

I instructed the AI ChatGPT to write code in Python for the @microbit_edu to make lights go on under low light conditions. I typed in the code exactly as ChatGPT wrote it (including comments). Works as expected. Wow.

[Elena Llaudet @ellaudet]

My textbook with Kosuke Imai (@Harvard) is finally out!

Assuming no prior knowledge of statistics or coding and only minimal knowledge of math, DSS teaches the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference + how to analyze real-world data with R.

Honors had to linearize acc vs mass data of fan cart to determine net force of fan. Each group is then given the challenge to determine the final velocity of their cart when given a unique mass, the fan now positioned at a unique angle moving a unique distance. #iteachphysics

@TychosTeam @maalmeida85 At the risk of pushing the boundaries... Is it possible to have an offline version of Tychos? In South Africa access to networks and data are issues when students are home in rural areas. Just asking🙃

Simple and quick reaction time with a smartphone and @phyphoxorg !
Yay!
