Today was the last day of Ozobots in the summer school program so, of course, we had to have some fun and build an Ozobot City for our Evo to tour using color codes to guide the way! 🤖 #ozobot #STEM #EduSky

I wrote about "brain damage" from AI. Despite scary headlines, AI won't hurt you brain, but it can undermine your thinking and learning. Increasingly, however we are finding ways it can help us think and learn instead (some included prompt examples as well). www.oneusefulthing.org/p/against-br...

Fun afternoon at summer school learning about coding with #Ozobot Evos! Students learned the parts that make up an evo, then used color code magnets to start coding. Next time we’ll do paper-based coding! 🤖

Sticking with the new Beta @padlet.com. I like that students can choose a style or add it into their prompt. Helps build confidence in those nervous about prompting. Seems easier to use than "I can't draw" as well #EduSky #EduSkyAI #GAI #padlet
