"In controlled tests, ChatGPT has proven to be capable of increasing human productivity by around 35%. To put this into context, the productivity gain of the steam engine in the 19th century was 25%."

I found the recent @nytimes opinion piece on AI by @harari_yuval @tristanharris @aza very interesting and I agree with some of the overall thrust and points but object to MANY of the important details. So, time for a 🧵 detailing my critiques: https://t.co/JRlLZoGr68

@teachwatts Agreed. Integrating SDGs into my Design classes is one of my goals. Do you have any examples of teachers/resources that do it authentically?

“Unless we are teaching kids to make the world a better place why are we teaching them anything.” @teachwatts Love it. #issedu

To automate or not to automate? https://t.co/ujkgzGSCL7 Really like the way this post frames the #AI in education debate. Gr8 quote ->"By riding the automation super-highway, we elevate the skills of the novice to competent, while also collapsing the expert to the same."

[Phil Macoun @pmacoun]

Excellent perspective on the #AI #ChatGPT hype. Love the idea of "Vintage Innovation". Tape and cardboard are awesome. https://t.co/ekyFoX3gtJ

@harves4556 @IGBintschool Very nice. Did you line it with tracing paper? Also curious what CAD program they will use?

How Disruptive Will ChatGPT Be? It Depends...

Everyone in #education is talking about #ChatGPT. Many articles & podcasts focus on ways this tech will disrupt education. Makes me wonder if tech is the real problem.

Really happy with these student outcomes from our first @ispuplands Year 8 #textiles #designtechnology unit. Boys and girls equally engaged. Side note: the @canva background removal tool used to make this pic is awesome!

Not in a pub for #PubPDasia but wanted to chime in on A2: I've always thought that knowing how to ask the right questions and be 'problem finders' is a key skill students need to leave school with ... and design thinking skills to apply to the problems they find 😀

"The teachers provided guidance not answers". Great quote from this Future Learning Design podcast on #studentdirected learning https://t.co/d8tJCruJrT
