Occasionally in life, we have that chance to tick something off our bucket lists. This was one of those moments for me.

I wish I had had these tactics at my disposal earlier tonight: had a most dissatisfying conversation with an 'agent' on a food delivery app. 99% sure it was an AI instance...

How are you addressing critical thinking in the age of AI?

My colleague & I created this quick 15min PL for teachers on the need of shifting instruction to process over product. Students can use AI as a thought partner and teachers don't have to see it as the enemy.

I'm extremely grateful that "Raised to Obey: The Rise and Spread of Mass Education" (@princetonupress.bsky.social) had such a strong 1st week!

What is this book about? Why did I write it? Why should you care? A thread: 1/n

You’d be very much in the leading/innovating space…
Indeed, GenAI, either conversational or ‘reasoning’
What stage are you at with AI? If you are engaging in some way, then you are above the line. No judgment, just a position in time...

Charles Fadel also advocates "... for a comprehensive redesign of curricula worldwide, focusing on four dimensions: Knowledge, Skills, Character, and Meta-Learning", which would require a curriculum redesign.
Thanks Jon - I was asked in a workshop by an English teacher: "I teach writing communication skills, such as writing letters and emails etc. Now that AI can do this for people, should I teach kids this skill?"
Here's a question for you: Should we teach something if AI (or technology) has made the content or context redundant? What should we keep, what might we abandon?

Looking forward to co-hosting Session 4 (of 4) with @leeannelavender.bsky.social in PeerSphere's AI in the Classroom community in a few hours. We are delving into how AI is impacting on assessment through a few different lenses.

What is one question or problem you have in this context?

I don't think Jennifer Chang Wathall is on BlueSky yet, but super excited to receive her book in the mail yesterday: AI Powered Pedagogy. Jennie is an @eduspark.bsky.social creator, looking forward to a new-year collaboration with her on this book.

For a bit of fun, especially for those who have been interacting with ChatGPT for some time (building up a history): Ask ChatGPT to roast you on what it knows about you. Amusing, and (scarily) specific for me...

Love Craig’s work on an authentic mechanism for teacher growth.
I’m on a mission to transform the world of teacher observations to a model of trust and support.

I want teachers to know that can be observed trying something new, have it be a disaster, yet know their principal will praise the risk taking—the path to growth and happy teachers who stay. #EduSky

It actually works! Drop a David Mayer hidden watermark in your assignments #aieducation
My guess is that someone at OpenAI will fix it - back in August ChatGPT famously could not correctly count the number of Rs in strawberry. Now it does.
Maybe it was someone whose name is actually David Mayer? I tried my first name and Mayer, and it worked...
Interesting but not entirely useful (unless your name is David Mayer. It seems that ChatGPT struggles to write this name. Is this the same for you?

Indeed, loads of lean in here.

All teachers are teachers of language. Every discipline has specialized vocabulary. You may not be the “English teacher” but you are still teaching academic vocabulary, writing forms, morphology, and comprehension skills. #OntEd #EduSky
