Educator @tobyfischer.bsky.social shares 3 ways you can leverage AI to help students see purpose in their learning: edut.to/4n9ZAFe #EduSky #EduSkyAI #EduAI

“By effectively leveraging AI, schools can ensure that their classroom activities are aligned with the goals they’ve outlined for their students in their Portrait of a Graduate. The Portrait of a Graduate has always been about more than a poster on the wall. It’s about equipping students with the skills and purpose to thrive in a rapidly changing world.” —Toby S. Fischer, Educator

This great read gets us thinking and talking about how #AI impacts topics such as #literacy, #assessment, and student products. I love his comment that today, process matters more than the product when AI can create any product. What do you think? Agree? Disagree? alicekeeler.com/2023/06/01/t...

The more I use www.learning-genie.com, the more I like it. It is the best #AI lesson/unit planning tool I have found. The fact that it builds in SEL and Portrait of a Graduate skills into lessons is amazing. Anyone else using it? What do you think? #edusky

Love this graphic that @stacykratochvil.bsky.social shared on LinkedIn! I think education has largely focused on AI literacy, but for AI to be truly impactful, we need to shift our focus to AI fluency! #EduSkyAI #EduSky #AIinEducation #AIinEdu

Comparison of AI Literacy (knowing about AI) and AI Fluency (thinking with AI). AI Literacy includes understanding AI, its strengths, and ethical concerns. AI Fluency focuses on questioning AI’s accuracy, using it ethically, and integrating it into learning. Created by Stacy Kratochvil.

I just put a research article into #NotebookLM and asked it to make a podcast. The result may have been the best education podcast I have ever. Next, I went into the interactive mode and 🤯. Live interaction mimicked a call in radio show. notebooklm.google.com/notebook/484... #edusky #GoogleEDU

One of my students wrote about this post from ditchthattextbook.com/protecting-k.... While I love #AI and how it can #personalizelearning for students, this makes me ask new questions. Do we need to be purposeful in teaching kids about AI? At what age do we start?

NVIDIA's CEO keynote was talked about at #FETC multiple times. I just watched the 90-minute talk. I didn't understand some of the tech, but I did understand that the world is about to change much faster. What does this mean for how we educate kids? www.youtube.com/watch?v=k82R... #edusky #AI

Thank you to everyone who engaged in the #FETC conversation about how to #PersonalizeLearning using #AI. If you didn't make it, feel free to check out the Activity Cards. wakelet.com/wake/ShVIpZ8... They were a hit.

Challenge all presenters at #FETC to have a better one liner than Guy Kawasaki's "The cybertruck is the ugliest vehicle. It makes a Gremlin look sexy”

I think this is a great mindset for teachers. #fetc Thanks @ditchthattextbook.com for the sticker
