Today's complaint about the AI in education discourse: Too much of it is framed around a future that is going to happen to us, as opposed to seeing the future as something we may have some agency to shape. I reject the deterministic view of AI, particularly genAI. It's a tool, not our master.

GenAI is a fascist infoweapon, and techbros are a supervillain class.

Hi! Do you teach at a community college? I’m looking for descriptions of ANY assignment you give Ss that involves writing. Trying to make my FYC course as helpful to Ss as possible so would love to see as many assignments from other CC courses as I can… please share!🙏 #highered #communitycollege

The #autistic experience of suddenly understanding that your distaste for a whole lot of the kind of work you’ve done for the past 10 years is b/c it’s not what you *really* wanted to do—you were just mirroring what others in your profession were doing 🫠😭💔

Great job everyone

The study revealed that AI chatbots actually created new job tasks for 8.4 percent of workers, including some who did not use the tools themselves, offsetting potential time savings. For example, many teachers now spend time detecting whether students use ChatGPT for homework, while other workers review AI output quality or attempt to craft effective prompts.

Two Saturdays ago, a high school teacher and I got 11 high school students together with 9 preservice teachers and had a big conversation about school and teaching and learning. Then, we drafted a collective op-ed. It was published this morning! www.news-gazette.com/opinion/gues...

Our Turn | A call to 'strengthen the human connections at the heart of education'

An open letter, from an inter-generational mix of 23 Urbana High School students, preservice teachers and supportive faculty.

It’s a common misconception that ADHD is just an inability to focus. Really, it’s a struggle to control focus. I can hyperfixate for hours on complex but pointless tasks and freeze on simple tasks. Some days, my brain’s a Lamborghini with no brakes. Other days, a rusty bike with a stuck chain.

Individual teachers cannot be expected to solve this problem, and the challenge requires us to get to roots of a system that students see as purely transactional (for good reason) and for which AI can fulfill the transaction. Putting this on individual teachers is simply unfair.

I’m not saying AI is evil — god forbid I be that moralistic and clear — I’m saying it is worse than that. It’s MID. Too mid to do much more than externalize some risk, produce some mid documents, and accelerate climate risk as a cute little benefit.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

Belle Gibson, Ruby Franke, and Amanda Riley will all have their lies, scams, and abusive actions dissected in television series and documentaries over the next several years, and I fear we won’t meaningfully address how whiteness works in this, and why they were able to get away with it for so long.
