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

I wrote a new piece for Vox on AI and cheating that has some new data from the past school year mentioned.

For $65,000 a year, a teacher-less AI private school comes to Virginia At Alpha School, a new private school in Northern Virginia, students will study for just two hours a day using adaptive apps and personalized lesson plans.

At this $65,000 a year AI-driven school, there are no teachers.

Students study for two hours a day using apps and personalized lesson plans and spend their afternoons on life skills such as financial literacy.

A cross-sectional look at teacher reactions, worries, and professional development needs related to generative AI in an urban school district - Education and Information Technologies Public interest has surged around artificial intelligence (AI) due to new capabilities demonstrated by new AI chatbot technologies, such as ChatGPT. This study investigates teachers’ immediate percept...

New open access article, survey study of teachers in an urban school district (over 1400 teachers)

PD for gen AI in schools can't be one size fits all, grade level, subject area, years of experience all have different takes and needs to address

look forward to seeing you continue to contribute to our collective, intersiciplinary understanding of the complexities of human learning across settings (imho, one of the *most* interesting topics to study!)
Cheers!

things interesting! I’m just pleased that we can have a respectful conversation on social media (rare!) and you can promote your publication and I can connect people to additional work that will be of interest. This is not a zero sum game, and I

As you saw, I mentioned multiple authors beyond carraher and think of still others. Being in a highly interdisciplinary field, I am used to excellent scholars wanting to deploy a range of methods and structure questions in discipline appropriate ways. It keeps

Here’s a strategy: 1) establish the frames, what problems will these changes cause, how will they impact communities; 2) inspire people to use those frames to tell their own stories of their families or communities are impacted; 3) amplify those stories.

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.

It's deadly to the US economy.

The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

I’ve added your paper to my files for anyone asking for more recent or larger N confirmations of this context/transfer challenge that I typically introduce with older pieces

*but* good science always confirms and keeps checking across contexts. So thanks for adding to that, and I think we both encourage readers to look to what you have now published which took obviously much work, and the cumulative body of work preceding it (and to follow) as well.

Again, genuine congrats on a piece in nature. abbreviated social media posts don’t show details and you cite carraher - I welcome more confirmation and empirical support, and react with the sense that I accepted these points already since graduate school

"School librarians are the architects of a more understanding, empathetic world. By getting kids to love stories, they’re encouraging them to love and better understand their fellow human." —Newbery Honor author @kloshaughnessy.bsky.social mrschureads.blogspot.com/2025/02/newb... #TLSky

You know I had you for a seminar last year!

Congrats for publishing in nature, but hasn’t this been established since the 1980s by lave, saxe, carraher, and others and already launched an entire field?

President Trump issued an executive order to find out what education funds he can legally rescind based on curriculum he doesn’t like. Existing law already answers that question —nothing.
