There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business. Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does. The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data. DJT fired the archivist.

Been routing around in the Local Rumor Control Project during WWII, specifically in the Denver office. The rich will always only worry about themselves. This is a class war, always has been. www.loc.gov/resource/afc... #edusky #sschat

Differently stated the rumor is heard that the Administration jockeyed Japan and Germany into such a position that was was inevitable. Undoubtedly there are large groups of people in cities such as Denver who do not appreciate the fact that years of preparation and effort were made by Japan before action commenced at Pearl Harbor. They do not appreciate the fact that German newspapers were stating that President Roosevelt was endeavoring to line our country with Russian communism and Bolshevism before Germany declared war on this country.

(In our opinion, there are numerous wealthy persons who hate so intensely the thought of being deprived of their present comfort and wealth because of increased taxes, etc., that they have become bitter and are taking it out on the Administration by criticizing the country in every possible way.)

👏 The question is: how do we ensure AI remains a tool for learning rather than a crutch? 👏 The first step is recognizing the power AI can contain for teachers and students, the second recognizing the drawbacks, and third, finding a way forward. Flat out bans will never work.

8 - Model good AI use - AI is here to stay. Students who learn through their teachers how to use AI ethically and effectively will be a step ahead of the others.

100

Kile @kilewithani.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

7 - Get better at asking the right questions - Don't let students accept the first answer from a chatbot. Always ask for more and dig deeper. Students need to know how to utilize AI to the best of its ability.

100

Kile @kilewithani.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

6 - Teach students to read for immersion, distraction, and imagination - We've been very focused on teaching students how to critically and tactically read. This is how AI reads. Instead, humans can read to be inspired and moved. Imagination will set us apart from the robots.

100

Kile @kilewithani.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

5 - Teach names and dates history - A bit counterintuitive given standards focus on themes. However, knowing about names, dates, and places give students context, allowing them to make connections between previously unconnected things. "These connections are where new historical ideas are born."

100

Kile @kilewithani.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

4 - Encourage students to know themselves better - What AI can't do is tell me what I want, what I like, and what I'm interested in, though it can help me get it. Help students become good “pickers,” build up student personality and celebrate their differences.

Kile @kilewithani.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

3 - Focus on human-to-human connections - We've seen the effects of the pandemic on student behavior and mental health. Prioritizing collaboration and relationships will serve our students magnitudes. Detach from virtual.

Kile @kilewithani.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

2 - Rethink digitization programs - Copyright and AI is complex. We've always assumed open-access was for the greater good, but what about when robots are taking advantage of that openness?

"What kinds of human textual production will continue to be of value in this new future and what kinds will not?" 1 - Refocus on the physical - For now, AI is trained on digital sources. This makes physical sources and archives a value add.
