"Curiosity is a skill, and it can be taught." It is also like a muscle that can be strengthened, or left to atrophy in an environment that promotes the response, "Will this be on the test?" @montesyrie.bsky.social

Paraphrasing, but doing the wrong thing righter makes you more wrong (in terms of outcomes). Russell Ackoff explains in this video and relates it to schools at about 4:00 in. It is worth the watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzS5...

You know, sometimes simplicity brings clarity and clarity may make it easier for people to choose to cross the road. We spend a lot of time in schools trying to explain what a version of "better" could look like, maybe simple and clear would cut to the chase.

You should have also asked any of your colleagues intending to support Patel to tell the officers how proud they are of the person they are about to support.

One of the most important reasons for this sound advice - we can learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable. It takes intentionality, for most people, to not gravitate towards "same" or "this is how we always do it". It might also make it easier to decide to take a risk you might avoid.

We'd have been really smart to do this in 1995, but now is the second best choice available.

Education innovation needs more than algorithms A focus on AI hinders innovation because it sidelines alternative solutions and the scope of conversation among educators, entrepreneurs and policymakers.

Indeed ed innovation needs more than algorithms @veletsianos.bsky.social. It needs a redefinition of purpose and success. There is a difference between preparing students for life and getting them to do better on tests. We are "all-in" on the latter of these. www.startribune.com/education-in...

Great follow up that school leaders can ask (works for adults and students as do most things)

Who am I?
Am I who I say I am?
Am I all that I ought to be?

Totally agree with the op. This should have started in the late 90’s when it was clear that technology and platforms could be used to deceive others for some form of advantage.

Don’t forget the learners in your district office when it comes to AI. #edtech #AIinEducation #AHSchools

It's a human industry - better should be a goal.

If you are on the hook, you are on the hook. It's is really easy to believe you're not. This applies from teachers to students.
