Thanks! Looking forward to learning alongside as well. Some of my richest edtech conversations in past years have been in your part of the world (eg TPACK stories, maybe 2013? and others #memorylane)

OpenAI’s new defense contract completes its military pivot A new partnership with Anduril, announced today, will deploy AI on the battlefield. It represents an overhaul of the company’s position in just a year.

Have you read this? Wondering about my ChatPT subscription…is it ethically sound to support the military of a country other than one’s own? www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/04/1...

Why Digital Literacy is the Cornerstone of AI in Education Artificial intelligence has moved from the periphery of possibility to the centre of everyday life, reshaping industries, societies, and how we engage with the world…

I finally got around to making starter pack! These folks are working hard to ensure all students have access to high quality digital citizenship education & can think critically and ethically in a digital world.

I’ll continue to update the list; let me know who I’ve missed!

What a great overview of Bluesky for educators @jcasatodd.bsky.social !!

Now that we’ve arrived on #EduSky our next step has to be to remind edu-friends not just to β€œfollow” people but to amplify/repost good ideas and share resources of our own

Oh how I wanted to click that little heart sign more than once! I am excited to be here too - and see people who I enjoy learning from and with be sifted up to view in my feed again, finally! Like cerebral oxygen!

πŸ€– Google has lots of AI-powered tools to support learning.

Here are 8 I saw at the "Learning in the AI Era" event at Google HQ recently:

1️⃣ NotebookLM

Add sources (PDFs, textbook chapters, videos, etc.). Ask about them in a chat. Create a podcast-style audio overview. 🀯

A festive two tile comic strip illustrating the difference between misinformation and disinformation. 

Tile A: Disinformation. 
Scene: Christmas morning in the living room. A child looking at wrapped Christmas present which seems to have the outline of a bicycle. Parents stood in the background are telling the child "It's from Santa Claus!".

Tile B: Misinformation
Scene: Later that day, the child is riding his new bike outside. While passing his three friends standing on the sidewalk, he shouts "It's from Santa Claus!".

Digital citizenship needs to examine how and why artifacts are made, who benefits from use, scope of use, and how tech companies handle use. With the availability and ease of use of powerful tools (e.g., AI, art, social media, etc) #digcit should focus on ethics of tech use and impacts of misuse.

Thanks for following me back! This feels so much like Twitter when I started in 2009… although now with the benefit of hindsight. So good to stumble upon familiar faces in this emerging constellation! I so very much look forward to continuing learning with/from you all!πŸ™
