@NicolePonsford I find myself more and more simply talking about either ‘digital tools’ or ‘when learning happens online’ vs edtech. Edtech becoming increasingly a boxed in and exclusive term rather than just tools for learning that happen to be digital!

Question: What is your preference for labelling digital tools for education? Is #edtech still seen as scary and exclusive? Or now as a catch all for #AI #MIS #Data #Apps?

Thank you so much to @TH_PatrickM @QuotidienneRose @theaieducatorX and @k_shelton for that deep dive into AI into education. I feel so assured knowing I’m not the only educator overwhelmed by the pressure of a possible AI Dystopia! Really interesting and wonderfully articulated.

The time has come to have twitter in the rearview mirror and hope for the old days of community , fun and debate over on Blue Sky! Still cross posting here and on LinkedIn. bsky.app/profile/pmcgra…

I’m seeing lots of posts about Twitter not being the same anymore and I agree. However, get yourself along to the Edutwitter community and it’s just like the olden days: x.com/i/communities/…
