Sharing the realities of #AiInEdu this week on 🎯 #TopTips

πŸ“š "AI Knows Everything"
Why? AI sounds confident but is only as good as its training data.
Reality: It hallucinates and fabricates information, especially in niche subjects. Always verify sources!

At least ChatGPT itself gets the irony of complaining about using others work without permission, even if its owners don't.

Don't forget to repost interesting things as you scroll through your TL. You won't see it in your notifications but the OP will! It's up to us to make #bluesky active.

I wonder whether we're all suffering from 'socials fatigue'?

I used to be on the other place loads, but got so disheartened about all social media, and I don't post here anywhere near as much.

Thanks to everyone who I spent time at #BETT2025 for making it so special.

Great conversations, so many exciting things ahead, and Learning Ladders only went and won a 'Highly Commended' for 'Assessment, Planning and Progress Monitoring' too!

See you at #BETT2025 - I'll be based on the BESA stand (same block as Google) in between attending sessions, and at the Awards dinner Wednesday.

Hope to see you there!

Yep we go most Saturday mornings for an hour or so and always bump into kids' friends, they all share book tips.

Very luck to have a fab, vibrant local library.

Dance music, overpriced drinks, entry wristbands, toilets that you don't dare use, fear of losing those you love.
