How does teacher @jenroberts.bsky.social persuade students not to use AI in academically dishonest ways?
“Once my students know that I am knowledgeable, that AI is fallible, and that AI writing is easy to spot, the temptation to use it seems to drop a lot.” Here are her strategies. 💻

Yes. This experiment will work if you make it your own. Customize your experience, build new ones, make a social network that can be controlled by the people who use it an idea we do not go back on.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

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.

Glad to see someone exploring this space! My vision is to craft a podcast entirely in @notebooklm.bsky.social lm.bsky.social & clone my voice with @elevenlabsio.bsky.social evenlabsio.bsky.social to export a humanized podcast on Critical Thinking in the Age of AI that captures personality & emotion.

I am loving NotebookLM so much! Geesh, these "podcasts" it generates are mind-blowing! I just uploaded a 3-slide Google slide about some PD I've been tinkering with creating, and it generated THIS unbelievable 4:28-minute little podcast! Take a listen: drive.google.com/file/d/1rkl4... #edusky

💡 Struggling to craft effective prompts for AI tools? During my recent professional learning session, The Power of Precise Prompts, I unveiled a game-changing flowchart that takes the guesswork out of AI-assisted teaching.
Our teachers loved how simple and effective this resource is.
