@AlexUsherHESA Reminiscent of the Garbage Can Model of decision making (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_c…)

I know deep in my bones, that political parties are on avg much stupider than they were 25 yrs ago. So much less effort to define problems and come up with cost-effective means of solving them But my view itself is vibes-based. How would I go about proving it do you think?

@LarryDJonesJr Class

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see this?

@jodyvanb I agree with Mike... Ghost story! But a lovely one

@DrSarahEaton @jtneill Thank you. Fixed.

@jtneill @rkumar2008 Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Tired editor eyes missed this!

@DrLancaster I agree. But what "test" could be administered, which, upon passing, would qualify the person as proficient? And shouldn't we have to pass it before imposing our views?

@rkumar2008 I'd position a "lack of proficient use" and "somewhat proficient use" together. Both can be dangerous. The worst case scenario is often someone who thinks they are an AI expert because they can write simple prompts, then tries to push that "expertise" on others.

Let's not think about #artificialintelligence in education solely in terms of #academicintegrity thomaslancaster.co.uk/blog/the-profi…

@DrSunainaSharma Congrats Sunaina.

🚨Excited to share my first peer-reviewed academic journal publication! 🚨 Dive into my #OntEd research on how secondary students use #EdTech in classrooms & why balanced policies matter. Let’s empower students to use tech effectively in this #AI era! 💻 journals.library.brocku.ca/brocked/index.…

@mslaurafacciolo Yes, indeed. It is an important contextual consideration - capitalist framework. But that is unlikely to be supplanted by something else in the near future. So #CBE will prevail until then.

Honoured to have presented with Dr. Robert McGray at the Digital Pedagogies Institute on "Global Trends in Generative Artificial Intelligence Adoption." Check out our insights here: hdl.handle.net/10464/18633 #DigitalPedagogies #GenerativeAI #EdTech

@phillipdawson I love it! Return true.

You might've heard of OpenAI's secret ChatGPT detector. It's reportedly 99.9% accurate - but what does that even mean? linkedin.com/pulse/how-make…
