the problem of literature instruction across school and college feels urgent to me, and at the same time, seems important to be deliberate, not reckless, in thinking it over

AI in education amplifies student surveillance

AI in education makes surveillance companies into trusted educational providers

AI in education surveillance techniques always threaten to creep beyond their original scope of operations

AI in education centres entrepreneurs as experts in teaching and learning

AI in education is based mostly on technical potential not educational needs

AI in education locks learning into models that afford summarization instead of archives of knowledge

Just watched No Country for Old Men while thinking it was There Will Be Blood and spent much of the movie very confused about when we would get to Daniel Day Lewis and the oil.

"just like those who govern secondary schools, university educators have ceded education’s purpose and meaning to others"

the heart of the issue is that teachers and professors have too little say in how, what, and why students read, and if we can't sort it out, for some, that justifies outsourcing

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.
