Interesting. Our State's stance is, "AI and AI-enabled technology may be used in South Australian public schools as part of teaching and learning. Schools determine when this use is suitable, considering privacy, security and students’ learning needs". www.education.sa.gov.au/parents-and-...

What EdTech or technologies do you and/or your students use? What are your top one or two technologies (hardware, software/apps, devices, tools) and why are they on your 'top technologies' list? How do you use them in teaching/learning? #EduSky #EdTech #technologies

Okay! So threading can be rough here! Here's all my "guide" together if you need it (not exhaustive, just the stuff I tell folks to get them started :) ) (with alt text ♥ )

#4 Go to My Feeds
Go to "Discover New Feeds" to search for interesting feeds like "Only Posts"
Click the "+" to add the feed
(box) Go to the (gear icon) [edit my feeds] here you can pin and unpin feeds
(side note) pinned feed will appear at the top of your TL
Don't forget to "♥" the feed when you click on it to preview, this helps others find it!

A closer look at:
HOME FEED PREFERENCES
(toggle drawing) Show Replies:
toggle to allow, and adjust "likes" to see more/fewer replies to posts in your home feed (tl)
Less likes = more replies seen = FULLER TIMELINE

Show Reposts:
you can turn off all reposts here, but you can't turn off reposts from individual accts (yet.)

Show Quote Posts:
you can turn off QPs, but reposts will still be visible if you don't turn them off as well.

Intro to Bluesky privacy:

(drawing of unlocked padlock)
1. Your Bluesky acct is PUBLIC (as of yet there is NO priovate option)

2. There are NO private messages (drawing of letters "DM" with no sign through them)

(drawing of round face behind brick wall)
3. Blocks are PUBLIC (people aren't notified when you block them, but your block list info is available for public search)
(drawing of snake tempting round face person saying "yesss look up who blocked you")

(drawing of round face with fingers in ears)
4. If you MUTE someone it's Private
but...
5. If you create a Mute Lists it's PUBLIC!
you can follow others' mute lists and/or make your own by going to Moderation --> Mute Lists

The news is filled with stories of professors boasting about "catching" students who've submitted AI-generated assignments. I'd much rather see professors boasting about how they've altered assessment strategies or gotten to the heart of why students cheat in the first place.

I'm seeing a lot of bandwagon jumping blogs/training courses/seminars on for e.g. "ChatGPT in the classroom" encouraging us 'not to be afraid of AI' but so far precisely zero of these are considering the ethics, e.g. what's done with the info we feed it, whose labour we are profiting off etc. hbu?

Love the idea of the Changemakers Voices in Modern Media program to build media literacy and ICT capability to empower students to be able to have voice about things that are important to them youtu.be/9pDHRHAVgio?...

If you want a provocation to get students thinking about the ethics of AI in machines, the Moral Machine www.moralmachine.net lets students interact with the simulations on the site - or they/you can build your own There are other resources linked from the site, like the Face Game the-face-game.net

UNESCO has a number of papers out about AI, and while it's a few years old now, the 'K-12 AI curricula: a mapping of government-endorsed AI curricula' mentions and links to a range of tools different countries used to teach machine learning and AI concepts. www.unesco.org/en/digital-e...

If you are wanting to try out some different AI tools, you'll find lots of options at www.futurepedia.io - there's also news updates. It's a good place just to see what is out there

Are you allowing use of AI in teaching/learning in your schools? What resources or tools do you use? Our State: "AI and AI-enabled technology may be used in South Australian public schools as part of teaching and learning" - www.education.sa.gov.au/parents-and-...
