An emerging priority for #edcuators: How does #AI in #K12 educational contexts impact student #metacognition and #self-regulatedlearning #SRL?

This recent study identifies positive potential. AI use increased SRL by serving students' need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

Exciting and profound things happen when we create hashtag#neurodiversity-affirming spaces! Always love presenting with @drkaradymond.bsky.social and Kathy Broad at #CSSE on our ongoing work exploring and experimenting with accessible pedagogy.

Small changes can make a big difference!

RAND study on AI training adds to the new #digitaldivide between lower-poverty and higher-poverty schools: more digitization is happening in the latter!

Why? B/c of the luxury good of human interaction re Jessica Grose? More urgent problems needing to be addressed? Or?

I deeply appreciate efforts like this from AI-for-Education. We desperately need better ways to evaluate #EdTech. Two problems:

1. We need something #TEACHERS can use, with agency.

2. We need something that gives space to see and locate NEGATIVE impacts as well.

Great insights re #copyright & #AI. Eg
4 Support for the centrality of human authorship
7 Support for greater transparency to facilitate determining liability
9 Some support for labelling of AI-generated content

Glad #Canada is working to clarify these issues!

Unfortunately, #k12 #schools are top targets for cyber attacks. We are, generally, "target rich, security poor." This is why attacks on schools are increasing. While we need cybersecurity, we also need to all adopt a #securityculture.

Thanks #MikeBiocchi!

It is challenging to discuss effective vs ineffective use of #GenAI with students. Here, I borrow James Nottingham's #learningpit to show how GenAI can be a #bridgeofillusion, tricking us into thinking we can skip the hard bits but in reality doing so leaves us in the same place as where we started.

This #Microsoftstudy shows #AI users are shifting from information gathering to verification, "from problem-solving to response integration," and "for analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, [...] from task execution to task stewardship." Not what we want in #k12 - underscoring need for guardrails/care

"The use of technology or algorithms for disciplinary measures, student enrollment decisions, and identity confirmation are met with resistance by a majority of parents."

As #K12 #schools, we can't simply delegate the messing thinking to #AI - it may be where our humanity is most essential.
