An interesting lens for thinking about AI integration. How do we support educators with crossing into “The Dual Expertise Challenge,” where deep domain knowledge and AI literacy combine to unlock truly innovative, ethical, and impactful uses of AI? #education #MIEE #EduAI #AIedu

Are you going to #ISTELive? Were you too scared to submit a proposal but have something to share? Playgrounds are the perfect way to dip your toe into the ISTE community! We made this list to help you find the perfect one !

So many are still dragging their feet on updating academic integrity for #AIedu integration. Stop creating unclear and unrealistic blanket #academicintegrity statements that don’t address the nuances of AI use in education. www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/we-ha...

We have to rethink academic integrity in a ‘post-plagiarism era’

What is the future of plagiarism as a concept in the AI age and what are the implications for assessment? This resource seeks to answer these questions, among others

I sadly can’t remember where I found this, but as someone currently organizing a #Canadian #edtech conference, I think I’ll slide this into the folders for our event support staff.

We are back to the start on prompting. Reasoners break the value of chain-of-thought as a prompting technique and lower the value of giving AI a persona No new approaches to prompting reasoners have been tested in any sort of rigorous way (though folks share their best practices, they may not work)

In a recent discussion with students, many raised concerns about teacher's use of #AiEDU detectors. One asked how detectors work. Using NapkinAI, I made this doc that dives into how they work, the challenges they present, and what else can be done. #EduSky app.napkin.ai/page/CgoiCHB...

One of the many skills learners need now is how to engage in meaningful use of AI. To support this, I made this Prompt-a-thon space in @schoolai.com that guides learners through prompt engineering and how to use it for problem-based -learning #IuseSchoolAI app.schoolai.com/share/space/...

Space practicing reading strategies. Remix for your specific needs & change the menu. Students pick a skill & share a topic of interest. AI creates a passage & asks students questions based on the skill they chose. We've used it with success! #AI #AIedu #edtech app.schoolai.com/share/space/...

I like to test different AI humanizers and detectors to see how they work. Today, I got this email from one of them. Honestly, I think it is hitting on a good point. Are students cheating, or are teachers assigning meaningless work? #AiEDU #EduSky

If you can BS your way to an
A, might as well Stealth it.
We're not saying professors like this are asking for StealthGPT's one of a kind ability to make any Al-generated text undetectable, but we are saying it was designed for settings like these. We believe life is more meaningful when you don't waste time on meaningless work. Not when you can save that time with our Al and spend it meaningfully.
