My letter to the Ed @irishexaminer.bsky.social on recently published AI Guidance for Irish Schools from the Dept of Education #edchatie #aieducation
๐Ÿ’ฏ agree with Billy Ryle in todayโ€™s Sindo.
Canโ€™t put the cart before the horse. We need real and full consultation involving all stakeholders before AACs become reality. #PressPause #edchatie
Ireland has a golden opportunity to lead on AI. With the EU Presidency next year, hosting a global AI summit would put us on the front foot. We canโ€™t sit back. Itโ€™s time to step up and shape the conversation. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿค– #AISummit #EU2026 #AILeadership

The Email That Shook Silicon Valley @aiteachingguru.bsky.social On April 8th, #MichaKaufman #Fiverr sent an email to staff that broke the internet. His message wasnโ€™t meant for educators, but his assessment of workplace transformation should concern every teacher and school leader. buff.ly/oyilzkn
What Type of AI User Are You???
Delighted to share my latest article in my AI series for TeachNet. After working with hundreds of Irish educators, I've identified four distinct types of AI users in our classrooms. Read about them here ๐Ÿ‘‰ teachnet.ie/what-type-of...

The Alarming AI Training Gap in Irish Education ๐Ÿคฏ

Hard to believe that the most transformative technology in the history of educationโ€”perhaps even the worldโ€”has been so neglected in our schools.

TUI survey of 1000 teachers confirm what many of us have witnessed firsthand. #edchatie #aieducation
Looking forward to presenting โ€œHow I regained my work life balance with AIโ€ this Wednesday at the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise @DiscoverCAFRE Loughry Campus, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone. #edchatie #aieducation #edchat
๐Ÿšจ "The main danger facing Irish education is not AI itself, but the continued hesitation from government and educational leadership to provide clear and practical guidance."

From my article in the Spring/Summer edition of "Leader" magazine for the @napdie.bsky.social #aieducation #edchatie
โ€œTeachers will not teach what they do not know.โ€ - from my interview In todayโ€™s @irishexaminer.bsky.social with Jess Kelly

As you hear in this clip, AI-generated musicโ€”courtesy of NotaGenโ€”is here. Impressive? Maybe. Maybe not.
But bigger questions remain:
๐ŸŽผ Is AI a creative tool or a replacement?
๐ŸŽผ Can it ever match human emotion & artistry?

Broadly what you sayโ€”but itโ€™s also about ensuring teachers understand AI (many donโ€™t), can guide students in its ethical use, and prepare them for a world where AI will be ubiquitous. Thatโ€™s harder to convey on a platform like this, but Iโ€™ve been v clear on this across articles, talks etc.
