AI for Students (the comic book) has been really nicely recieved by academics in UK and US. It demos creative ways to use gen AI to think MORE, not less. #aiforstudents #ai #aiedu #aiminimalism #aiineducation #edusky

AI to save time? Boring. Try using it (sparingly) to spark thought and action. And off you go. Touch grass! : D #aiforstudents #ai #aiedu #aiminimalism #aiineducation #edusky

Want to review AI for Students for your institution? I’m looking for folks in a position to recommend this book to colleagues, libraries etc. It teaches how to flip expectations with AI to think more, not less. Message me! #edusky #highered #higheredsky #aieducation #aiineducation #edtech

AI minimalism. I like this phrase. The image of dipping in for specific purposes, then walking away. Strike a chord with you? (Image from AI for Students book.)

It’s a whirl of possibilities. But with any technology, we need caution and critical literacy. #aieducation #edusky #edtech #ai #aicollege #aiedu #highered #furthered

Academic literacies win: A student just reported on their ‘work breakdown structure’ last week —it’s good! They said it helped them prioritize, feel less overwhelmed, and calm down. Nice! Image:

Educators, students, parents, here’s a link to my comic-style guide to using AI tools in education in ways that are humane, creative, and which help us think more, not less. I’m hearing it’s a unique approach and maybe useful to you and yours. promptlybooks.com/ai/ #ai #edusky

May I humbly suggest: promptlybooks.com/ai/ … it’s a comic book I wrote to help both students and teaching staff bring AI into the classroom in ways that are humane and which support good learning practices. #edusky #ai #aieducation
