Jerry Blumengarten @cybraryman1.bsky.social · 23/06/2025We need to put a lot more resources at early childhood & K-3 grades. Even if we need to do one on one. No child should leave grade 3 without being able to read & do basic math well. I had students in the 8th grade who could not read well or do basic math. What do you think? #EduSky #edchat 000
Jerry Blumengarten @cybraryman1.bsky.social · 17/06/2025A4 I would want my AI assistant to fact check and make sure the information is accurate. But how would I know since AI has given my wrong month, day and year of my birth as well as stated I died in 2016 and 2021. #TLAP 100
Jerry Blumengarten @cybraryman1.bsky.social · 12/06/2025A2 I would like to learn more about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and its applications for education. However, AI has said i died in 2016 and later in 2021. AI page cybraryman.com/ai.html #TLSkyChat 130

Jerry Blumengarten @cybraryman1.bsky.social · 23/05/2025My concern with AI and the internet is finding if the information is accurate. When I searched my information they had my wrong birthday (wrong month, day and year) and in two instances they had my passing away in 2016 and then in 2021. How do we get students to verify what they find? #EduSkyAI 110
