AI in the Writing Process: A Problem of Purpose When we value the product of writing more than the process, we’re bound to see students using GenAI to skip to the end. So, what are we going to do about it? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #Writing #AIWriting

AI in the Writing Process: A Problem of Purpose

When we value the product of writing more than the process, we’re bound to see students using GenAI to skip to the end. So, what are we going to do about it? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #Writing #AIWriting

At risk of being a broken-ass record about this:

If you don't like writing -- and these "mechanics" are an invaluable AND ENJOYABLE piece of the process for those of us who do -- then maybe just like don't be a writer?

Wow, after reading this, I’m very interested in Mary Midgley! Well worth the read! #philosophy #philsky #academicsky #ethics

When Science Is Local, Silence Is Global In recent years, the international scientific community has mobilized swiftly to defend academic freedom when it is under threat in wealthy nations. During the Trump administration, when American c…

Enjoyed writing this piece for national media in Ireland on EdTech in schools.

In a nutshell:

The harms of datafication and platformisation of schools are not abstract because sooner or later your school is going to be hacked and your child's data put up for sale on the dark web...

Fascinating #LongRead on the future of human labour in a world of increasingly productive #AI. One early nugget that kinda shocked me is that we have apparently spent most than 10x the total cost of the Manhattan Project on #GenerativeAI (or possibly AI more broadly).

Be careful with who you share information with and your plans. Some people will actively try to harm you and your career behind your back. I wish philosophy had a venue to warn others of some really bad people. #philsky #philtech

We have to rethink academic integrity in a ‘post-plagiarism era’ What is the future of plagiarism as a concept in the AI age and what are the implications for assessment? This resource seeks to answer these questions, among others

So many are still dragging their feet on updating academic integrity for #AIedu integration. Stop creating unclear and unrealistic blanket #academicintegrity statements that don’t address the nuances of AI use in education. www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/we-ha...

I love this quotation about reading so much that I used it as the epigraph for The Reading Mind.

The mega-consultancies are all pushing AI in education like you would totally believe. A short thread if you can cope...

Here are some recent books on effective learning written for students. Though most are written by psychologists, all are appropriate for students majoring in any topics. I can't pick one, b/c each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I hope you (& other people) find this list useful. #edusky

An insightful and useful reflection on a 50-year journey to promote relevant, hands-on, interactive #science #education. "We thought that one-in-five students having a basic grip on #STEM was alarmingly low... Those percentages have slid inexorably... #Physics... remains a mystery to all but a few."

Look forward to reading it, thanks.

I thought a real physicist would find it easier to read than I did-glad to know I’m not alone! I like bsky’s character limit, though it failed to discipline me this time: had I said ‘essay’ instead of ‘article,’ I’d not only have been more correct but also would have had room for proper punctuation!

This article reminded me of your book "You almost certainly believe, as I did, that there is little overlap between the routines and aspirations of fiction writers and physicists. You are, as I was, almost certainly wrong. Both are the purveyors of real and imagined worlds"
