I just watched this video about #EdTech from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social. As someone who has promoted technology in K12 classrooms for years, I have a lot to think about.

Teachers: Watch this! #EduSky

If you have an Ed Plus license or Teaching and Learning Upgrade, you now have access to AI features in Google Vids. I love the read-along mode in the teleprompter and the AI voice overs. Check it out!

AI in the Classroom Is Often Harmful. Why Are Educators Falling Prey to the Hype? (Opinion) “AI is seductive for those who regard education as a series of steps toward a credential,” writes Alfie Kohn.

This article is in stark contrast to the article I posted earlier today. Two education titans with different opinions. Who is right?

I just uploaded a new video on the Gemini prompting tools in Google Classroom. BTW the video was made with Google Vids.

How AI could radically change schools by 2050 — Harvard Gazette In Ed School panel, Howard Gardner says tech could make “most cognitive aspects of mind” optional for humans.

Well this is certainly interesting...

Thank you!!!!

When you have time, could you post the link to the Google Doc she references? I don’t have an Instagram account.

"because their critical thinking and creativity and other soft skills, like working in a team, were undermined. By the time they get an employment opportunity or internship, they have no idea how to apply themselves in that context."

"If educators teach a particular software at the expense of foundational skills, by the time our students leave either university or high schools, they're ill-prepared in terms of doing life," said Hove

Students are using AI tools instead of building foundational skills - but resistance is growing The unfettered adoption of AI might damage skills development, yet it doesn't have to be this way.

“This is what happens when you let a machine that is essentially a stochastic probabilistic auto complete engine sitting atop the same technology sucking up the identical database eating itself and being fed the same prompt looks like.”

How to use AI tools is the least interesting and important part of AI.

Every edu-AI discussion must start and end with a deep look at its ethical implications and pedagogical implications.

The tools are easy to use. That’s part of their danger.

I have always been fascinated by Amelia Earhart. After reading this excellent book, I feel like I finally truly understand her story. Best book you will read on Earhart.

Slide from a presentation

I had a great afternoon in South Sioux City today working w/ a Wayne State College learning community Master’s cohort. We discussed all things AI in ed. The good, the bad and the ugly. If you leave out the bad and the ugly, you are doing it wrong. Great group of learners with awesome questions.

I study AI cheating. Here’s what the data actually says. What the panic about kids using AI to cheat gets wrong.

The question we need to be asking - why are students cheating?

Quote from teacher stating he has an artistic resistance to using AI for generating lesson plans

Thanks to @janerosenzweig.bsky.social for sharing this article: What AI Looks Like in American Classrooms.

This was the most important passage for me. “I have an artistic resistance to it.” His reasoning is spot on.

The question isn't "What's the optimal ratio?" but "What kinds of thinking and learning do we want to preserve, develop, and cultivate in an age of artificial intelligence?" #AIinEducation

Google Vids - YouTube

You are very welcome! Google Vids only just became available to all editions of Workspace so don't feel bad for not having noticed it. Here is my Vids tutorial playlist in case it helps!

Hi Deanna. If you have access to Google Workspace for Education I would recommend Google Vids - available in Drive. Very easy and intuitive. Or @screenpal.bsky.social is another option if you want additional editing features. I create all of my videos in ScreenPal.

That is very cool. I am hoping to find something like that. Keep up the good work!

Good for you, Kory! Did you join a gym?

Funny to hear you say this. I’m not on Twitter much any more but I occasionally check it. When I checked today it was informing me that it was my 13th anniversary. I commemorated by sharing that I missed the Twitter of old and all the friends I had made. Had high hopes for 🦋 but it isn’t the same.
