Here's a fun facepalm Friday article for why AI literacy matters. Save your marriage! www.vice.com/en/article/w... "AI isn’t sentient. It doesn’t understand coffee. It can’t see guilt in a stain. But it can reflect back whatever fear, suspicion, or fantasy you bring to it."

It was a great pleasure to be on the #HERDSA2025 panel on AI this afternoon. I thought I'd post direct links to the resources I mentioned as good ways to keep up with and make sense of genAI in education. Just a few picks to get you started - there are so many amazing people in this space.
