The LEGO Smart Brick has a chip smaller than a LEGO stud. The Brick has a tiny Speaker. There are also going to be Smart Minifigures. As well as Smart Tags, so it’s a three component system. There is an interactivity between the three elements.

Lego Smart Brick - a tiny computer that fits entirely inside a classic 2x4 Lego brick. When it detects NFC-equipped smart tags nearby, it will make entire Lego sets come to life: humming lightsabers, roaring engines, light-up blasters, and the music of Lego Star Wars.

LEGO announced a new “Smart Brick” at CES: ▫️built a tiny computer into 2x4 bricks ▫️bricks “come alive” by lighting up or making sounds (triggered by NFC smart tags inside smart LEGO tiles and minifigs) ▫️LEGO built its own ASIC chip (fits into brick stud and smartphone app provides firmware updates) ▫️chip takes sound as input only (for privacy, it doesn’t record and no camera and no AI features) ▫️multiple Smart Bricks can make a Bluetooth mesh network (by telling position and direction of bricks, it can trigger crash sounds if brick is hit and track “winning” vehicles in a race) LEGO says it is the “the most significant evolution in the Lego System-in-Play since the introduction of the Lego Minifigure in 1978.” First Smart Bricks set come out in March and are Star Wars themes (X-Wing, Tie Fighter). *** More via The Verge: theverge.com/tech/854556/le…

Rupert Wegerif's article "Teaching Dialogic Intelligence with AI" presents a timely analysis of AI's role in education, noting that current research is evenly split between studies warning of AI's potential to enable shallow learning through copy-paste behaviors and those showing its benefits when used dialogically. Wegerif proposes a two-loop educational strategy for teaching dialogic intelligence, where the first loop focuses on reframing how students use AI (moving from simple answer-seeking to deeper questioning), and the second loop inducts students into larger cultural dialogues. He draws on Bakhtin's concept of the "super-addressee" to explain how disciplines maintain standards through ongoing dialogue. Wegerif concludes by outlining specific practices for implementing this approach, contrasting unhelpful AI uses (like uncritical copy-pasting) with beneficial ones (such as exploring multiple perspectives and challenging assumptions). Wegerif argues that AI's perceived limitation - its lack of true empathy - actually makes it an ideal "outside voice" for educational dialogue. open.substack.com/pub/rupertwege…

"Real education is education for understanding—which means expanding consciousness and transforming identity. It draws what is initially external into an internal, shared space of meaning—a dialogic space where we think and act together with greater insight and wisdom." rupertwegerif.substack.com/p/turning-the-…
