"The more things you have, the more things you have to manage. Simplicity isn't merely cheaper, it's easier." -@JamesClear

“AI seeks to automate processes that achieve goals, but AI should never set goals. The goals must come from educators’ vision of teaching and learning and educators’ understanding of students’ strengths and needs.” Read more 👉 panoramaed.com/blog/ai-future… #AIinEdu #AIinEducation

”(Students) get the chance to just be themselves and know themselves, which is really hard in middle school." Great reporting from @AlisoninV on how VT schools are working with community partners to tackle chronic absenteeism w/ a focus on relationships sevendaysvt.com/news/chronic-a…

"In the era of AI, the most critical skill isn't computational; it's emotional. As algorithms take over logic, it's our human ability to connect, empathize, and inspire that will define impactful education." – @NickWoolf_VT #AIinEducation insidesel.substack.com/p/sel-in-5-how… #SEL #edchat

LinkedIn is full of viral “AI cheat sheets” that contain no useful information and tons of mistakes, randomly organized with bad clip art It is a growing problem with algorithmic platforms that financially reward likes (as Twitter now does). The incentive is for popular nonsense

DeepMind’s cofounder: Generative AI is just a phase. What’s next is interactive AI. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence technologyreview.com/2023/09/15/107…

In a new paper showing that AI comes up with more effective prompts for other AIs than humans do, there is this gem that shows how weird AIs are... The single most effective prompt was to start by telling the AI "Take a deep breath and work step-by-step!" arxiv.org/pdf/2309.03409…

Understanding the nature of generative AI will be super important for educators as they navigate the evolving landscape of teaching and learning. This new report explores how we might re-conceptualize our vision of effective education. 🔗lnkd.in/gjxg9xxR #AIinEducation
