This was a really interesting read about the growing trend of using AI chatbots as search engines. I liked the distinction between "answer engines" and "search engines." (And I'm blown away by the number of 'journalists' who are using ChatGPT as a source.)

Sometimes ChatGPT spits out something original — and wrong, like fake presidential pardons.

"Consequently, I believe learning in schools becomes energized and likely to spread to out-of-school time only when young people have as many opportunities to pose and address their own problems as they do to grapple with problems posed by teachers."

"At every possible opportunity, express what you believe about effort-based ability and what you think it can do for the children in your school...Leaders often underestimate the power of simply standing for something publicly and with perseverance."

Amazing shares for physics teachers here from Michael.
🎢 Going to slowly go through my #iTeachPhysics bookmarks from the wreckage of what once was and post them here.

Just pulled together a series of AI prompts that guiding coalitions can use to develop a survey for their school community on the belief that ALL students can learn at high levels. Check it out here:

Tonight's adventure.
Man. I'm sitting here all choked up again. A bunch of parents and former students found me in LinkedIn and buried me in kind words and well-wishes.
I miss those deep connections with families, y'all.
Our profession can be frustrating and exhausting for sure.
But it is always beautiful.

Another one of my favorite thinkers is AJ Juliani. Did you read his recent piece on why relevance for learners is even more important today than ever before?

One of the funniest moments of my professional year was listening to a guy in a strong union state passionately arguing that teachers should NEVER be asked to work beyond contract hours and then hearing one of his peers say:
"Then how is it fair for us to keep burying kids in homework?"

Been thinking about using suno.com as a tool for extensions in the classroom. I like the idea of having it generate a song and then asking students to evaluate it for accuracy against what they know/have learned.

@leonfurze.com has really been challenging my thinking a ton lately. Jazzed to have found his thinking for sure. All y'all have probably seen it, but my favorite recent Furze read was this one on AI and skill loss:

AI and Skills Loss: It’s Not That Simple
A lot of the rhetoric around artificial intelligence in education centres on the idea that AI will inevitably lead to skills loss and that this is an inherently bad thing. Like all hype at both end…
