I’m giving exams today. My students are writing away. With pencils. I hate the sound of pencils on paper, it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Ugh.

Wow, this is incredibly disappointing. Whoever wrote this has clearly never received papers that used AI. Using it as a way to start a Bib? NO. You realize that AI makes up sources, right? That also does not teach students how to research, which is part of the point of being an historian.
The AHA has published Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence in History Education, offering a disciplinary approach to AI that focuses on the specific needs and challenges of history educators. 🗃️
Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence in History Education
These 14 foundational principles are meant to assist educators and administrators in crafting AI policies suited to local circumstances and the specific needs of students.

Especially after the recent floods here in Central Texas, I hate this idea that cloud seeding can actually have this much effect on the weather #hatm

Ive lived in Texas for 12 years, and I’m still not used to the fact that we don’t have tornado sirens. (I’m sure they do in North Texas but not central or south) #hatm

Narrowly missed the May 3rd, 1999 EF5 by half a mile. Several friends lost everything. Terrifying. Also. Don’t go under an underpass! #hatm
