How to use AI tools is the least interesting and important part of AI.
Every edu-AI discussion must start and end with a deep look at its ethical implications and pedagogical implications.
The tools are easy to use. That’s part of their danger.

I had a great afternoon in South Sioux City today working w/ a Wayne State College learning community Master’s cohort. We discussed all things AI in ed. The good, the bad and the ugly. If you leave out the bad and the ugly, you are doing it wrong. Great group of learners with awesome questions.
