School colleagues & #Cottesesmoresfreeaifestival take a look at the comic generator on Hugging Face. Could be used in all sorts of contexts within school - here's something I made earlier. #AIinEducation

I think the Stanford authors of this NYT piece have it backwards.

Don't start a civics class with Great Books. Start with Great Problems, like energy or water. Then work backwards to see how, say, Kierkegaard’s writing about fear illuminates security concerns in the headlines. Then ask students to hold and evaluate Socratic dialogues with such thinkers using #ChatGPT

Back in action after a much-needed vacation! Coming year looks promising with AI set to further revolutionize education. As we step into the future, I’m thrilled to share that this August, I'll be leading workshops for various teacher groups. Together, we'll navigate this exciting new chapter.

Stay tuned!

One of the challenges that the future use of #AIinEducation poses is how to help both teachers & learners make use of #AI to ENHANCE what they are doing rather than replacing. Yes, #AI can write a lesson plan but how do you make it YOUR lesson plan? @jeffjarvis - how are you handling this?

I've said before that the students whose use of generative AI will overturn higher ed are now in middle or high school. Two studies published in May now back me up:

1. Only 43% of college students have used ChatGPT or a similar AI application:

2. But 58 percent of students ages 12 to 18 have used ChatGPT:

STEM teachers who attended a workshop of mine showing what generative AI could do became more accepting of its use in class. The biggest changes in attitude were for teachers creating a lesson plan and assessing interpretive homework (12% gains) and for students using AI as a Socratic tutor (14% gain).

They were also more likely to approve student use, with an interesting caveat 🧐 1/2

But it is worth noting that the Russell Group (UK consortia of "research-intensive" universities), has published their principles on using #AIinEducation. https://russellgroup.ac.uk/news/new-principles-on-use-of-ai-in-education/

🧐 Exciting news! Harvard's CS50 coding course will now have AI instructors, aiming for a 1:1 teacher-student ratio! 🤖🎓 Get ready for personalized learning experiences. Staff is experimenting with GPT 3.5 and GPT 4 models, but reliability concerns persist. Freeing up time, AI instructors aim for meaningful interactions with students. Skepticism encouraged.

One thing I am holding close to my heart and feeling joyful about is #MYFest23. It's a completely unique CPD event that lasts three months, runs sync and async events and has a firm "no FOMO" policy. It's a real chance to come together at talk #EmergentStrategy , #InclusivePractice #AIinEducation and more. If you're feeling just on edge, or like you are hitting empty, this is a place you can recharge and explore. You can find out more here! https://myfest.equityunbound.org/

New ChatGPT capability unlocked: make your students wince with the most cringe-worthy email written "on their level," replete with superfluous emoji and a dozen metaphors.

(I just asked GPT-4 to make the email informal, but this hits a little too close to home.)

Sal Khan inspired me to flip the classroom and I'm glad he's exploring generative AI, but my experience doesn't jibe with the cherrypicked examples in his TED talk. I don't buy his claim that GPT 3.5/4 "understands where the clouds are" in a #P5js sketch; I found it good at conventional game mechanics but rotten at spatial composition.

Here's a rogues gallery of animals my students made with ChatGPT and #p5js 1/3
