I think, read, and write about teaching thinking. Runner. Friend of strays. Pulling the rope sideways.

@RogueLou18 @FreddyLA7 this is perfection.

@FreddyLA7 welcome back! I've missed you.

Chatbots, novices, the automation of learning and the case for Alpha School

@robinsonmeyer casement windows pose a similar problem here. it's impossible to get an AC unit in a room with them.

@FreddyLA7 that's where my family is from originally.

Should AI chatbots be banned in the classroom? Yes. Here's why🧵⤵️

@angeladuckw @nepleyy it does seem to work every time!

[Angela Duckworth @angeladuckw]

Ever since reading A Little More Social by @nepleyy, I've been trying to be, well, a little more social.
I made a new friend on the train from Philly to New York, had my assumptions disproven (about a seatmate on a flight from LA to Philly), and I belatedly introduced myself by name to the afternoon security guard at my office.
To my astonishment, it's just like Nick promised! Now I get a little less work done but feel a whole lot more human. His book is brilliant, and so is his TED talk: https://t.co/4sCm1BK26L via @TEDTalks

Your AI is not a tool. It is an environment, and you and I are in it.

[Rod @rodjnaquin]

I find Dr. Philippa Hardman's argument compelling about how AI is reshaping assessment. Students can now have 10-minute spoken conversations with AI that asks follow-up questions about their submitted work, costing 40 cents versus thousands for human graders. AI can simulate realistic practice scenarios like patient interviews. Students document how they used AI by showing their prompts and explaining what they kept or rejected. Assessment tracks progress continuously through AI tutors rather than just final exams.

@rodjnaquin this feels like the most important thing I've read in a long time on the general subject of 'what now'?

[Knowledge Matters @KnowledgeMatrs]

📢If curriculum is only viewed as a tool to deliver a set of skills rather than the sequential body of knowledge it is—we are diminishing the impact of “coherent knowledge building.”🧱

@rpondiscio explains why knowledge-rich curricula never wins here:

@JustinWolfers nothing more obvious; I'm glad that the permission structure for limiting them is forming. It's worth the drama and turbulence.

[Jen Cerny @pedametacog]

@cduhigg a powerful read...hope it starts something big.

[Jen Cerny @pedametacog]

Nick Epley is so right...the new book is superb.

[Chicago Booth Review @chicagoboothrev]

Why do people avoid deeper conversations — even when they make us happier?

Many of us stick to small talk because we assume personal conversations will feel awkward or uncomfortable. But research from @ChicagoBooth's Nicholas Epley shows the opposite is often true. @CDR_Booth
