These 2 stellar pieces from @techpolicypress.bsky.social are essential for educators thinking through the profoundly new internet our students are experiencing.

Adding this too… on the one hand, this blurriness has always been undertheorized in understanding technology’s role in learning, but on the other, the ways these features are being rolled out is already an epistemic and pedagogical challenge that will only grow more difficult this coming school year

I teach 8th grade history and help lead our AI efforts. This is *the* question schools need to be obsessively focused on… students are using it a ton, and even if they’re not, its existence in the information landscape they inhabit is changing how they think and learn. All else is downstream…

Might I suggest “Thiel-manning” for the affected rhetorical tactics you described in the pod?

There is an amazing montage of these scenes on YouTube I’ve used in AI presentations.

This piece would also be beneficial to educators trying to help students by modeling more responsible use of AI tools in our own work
