These countries have issued advisories about travelling to the U.S. Several countries have added travel warnings for their citizens travelling to the United States in light of concerns they could face problems at the border because of the Trump administration’s polici...

#Canadian and international vendors, presenters and attendees: are you still planning to attend conferences like #ISTE? Warnings are being issued about travel to the states, with incidents of people being detained or denied entry. #EDUSky #Canada

Watching from Canada 😥🫣

An interesting lens for thinking about AI integration. How do we support educators with crossing into “The Dual Expertise Challenge,” where deep domain knowledge and AI literacy combine to unlock truly innovative, ethical, and impactful uses of AI? #education #MIEE #EduAI #AIedu

Happiness is brand new #micro:bit V2s to be delivered to #NewBrunswick teachers engaged in upskilling on digital + experiential learning, computational thinking, AI/machine learning, and career education! Looking forward to getting these into schools! @microbit.org #MIEE #AIedu #digitallearning

Are you going to #ISTELive?

Were you too scared to submit a proposal but have something to share? Playgrounds are the perfect way to dip your toe into the ISTE community!

We made this list to help you find the perfect one !

We have to rethink academic integrity in a ‘post-plagiarism era’ What is the future of plagiarism as a concept in the AI age and what are the implications for assessment? This resource seeks to answer these questions, among others

So many are still dragging their feet on updating academic integrity for #AIedu integration. Stop creating unclear and unrealistic blanket #academicintegrity statements that don’t address the nuances of AI use in education. www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/we-ha...

I sadly can’t remember where I found this, but as someone currently organizing a #Canadian #edtech conference, I think I’ll slide this into the folders for our event support staff.

#PETEandC🌿 Join our session with Arin IU 28 on Tuesday 2:10-3 PM Starlight Room Hershey Hotel “Tech in the Wild: STEELS with micro:bit” We're exploring the #PASTEELS 🍃 with #microbit 🤖 as a tool to entry into #edtech + #Elit See you there! #peteandc25 #CodeJoy go.codejoy.org/petec25program

We are back to the start on prompting. Reasoners break the value of chain-of-thought as a prompting technique and lower the value of giving AI a persona

No new approaches to prompting reasoners have been tested in any sort of rigorous way (though folks share their best practices, they may not work)

They even put Karoline Levitt on the cover!

SchoolAI AI-Powered Tutors and Learning Activities

In light of today’s news that #tariffs on #Canadian and Mexican goods have come into effect, I’ve put together this @schoolai.com space for students to learn more about and investigate examples of trade wars. app.schoolai.com/share/space/...

micro:bit Champions Micro:bit Champion applications will be open from January 1 - January 29, 2024.

It’s that time of year again! Apply to become a @microbit.org Champion! Learn and share with the top #CompSci and innovative educators around the world! Apply at microbit.org/champions/?f...! #micro:bit #educhat #edusky #edtech #PLN

Interesting…but it’s also sending red flags

we can't prepare kids for everything. we must prepare them for anything.

@sineadbovell.bsky.social it was great to hear you speak again.

@microbit.org has entered the chat!

In a recent discussion with students, many raised concerns about teacher's use of #AiEDU detectors. One asked how detectors work. Using NapkinAI, I made this doc that dives into how they work, the challenges they present, and what else can be done. #EduSky app.napkin.ai/page/CgoiCHB...

SchoolAI AI-Powered Tutors and Learning Activities

One of the many skills learners need now is how to engage in meaningful use of AI. To support this, I made this Prompt-a-thon space in @schoolai.com that guides learners through prompt engineering and how to use it for problem-based -learning #IuseSchoolAI app.schoolai.com/share/space/...

SchoolAI AI-Powered Tutors and Learning Activities

Space practicing reading strategies. Remix for your specific needs & change the menu. Students pick a skill & share a topic of interest. AI creates a passage & asks students questions based on the skill they chose. We've used it with success! #AI #AIedu #edtech app.schoolai.com/share/space/...

Using @microbit.org , another 4/5 class started working on their Christmas songs. They had to identify the notes (name/duration) then headed over to #MicrosoftMakeCode to start bringing their songs to life!! #mvsd_mb #MIEExpert

Why is it only now that I discovered @schoolai.com lets you add videos to your spaces prompt? Love that we can add multimedia to an AI space for students to consider during their interaction! #EduSky #AiEDU #UDL

1) Accessibility features like TtS, StT, and translation
2) Grouping students after using a space to get intervention or flexible grouping data

I’d also show them the graphic that was shared on their feed recently showing different ideas for spaces

I do a lot of PL for teachers on AI, so the Understanding AI is one that I tend to use the most! I get lots of good insights from it on what teachers want and need regarding AI literacy

You’re so welcome! Their team is also super helpful. Hot tip: in their Assistants section, there’s a bot that helps with building student spaces. Very helpful if you’re a teacher new-ish to building custom bots!

Good morning from #Miramichi #NewBrunswick 🇨🇦
