I want to have the hard conversations about AI that most aren't.
Who’s setting the tone for AI in your classroom—trust or surveillance?

In my latest Smarter Campus Podcast, Nick Potkalitsky shares how creating a culture of trust allows students to use AI openly while learning responsibly.

How are you building trust around AI?

Have you found a truly collaborative AI solution yet?

AI is reshaping education, but collaboration often feels like the missing piece.

What tools or platforms are you using to foster collaboration in your classroom or workplace?

What excites you most about AI in education for 2025? What concerns you the most? 🤔

AI made huge strides in 2024—think GPT-4 Turbo and Bard revolutionizing classrooms. But with big advancements come big questions about equity, privacy, and the future of learning.

I dont know what day it is of OpenAI Christmas thing but I dont recall this being one of the days

Is AI in education solving problems or creating new ones?

AI has huge potential—but are we moving too fast without addressing the challenges?

Security, equity, and even the environmental impact often feel like afterthoughts.

What do you think—are we skipping critical steps?

Can anyone point me in the direction of following more #edtech people here. Right when I joined it was easy to follow those big groups but I seem to have hit a wall but I cant seem to find them any more! Would love help!

Saw this today. Not quite sure why people dont talk about this tweet. I sorta think it should be at the forefront of alot of this.

Tweets this ---2 years later--> 1 page of student teacher use cases

I simply don't understand how I have been in this space for as long as I have (Not that long but relatively) and no one ever told me to look at how much water OpenAI uses. Its freaky to me how like hidden this has been from the public.

Anyone else feel this way?

Every AI response consumes power & water to cool servers. We don’t think of this when using ChatGPT—it doesn’t feel like we’re using resources. How do we make these hidden costs tangible and drive thoughtful use of AI? 🤔

Did you know tools like ChatGPT burn energy and use water? It’s hard to conceptualize because we don’t see it. Unlike turning off the faucet or recycling clothes, AI’s impact feels invisible—but it’s real. Let’s talk about sustainability in AI. 🌍

Went down a rabbit hole this morning and read a bunch of articles about environmental impact of AI. Scary. Sharing the most notable ones throughout the day.

Data-center reliance on fossil fuels may delay clean-energy transition
A spike in electricity demand from the world's big data providers is raising a worrying possibility for the world's climate: a near-term surge in fossil-fuel use.

The 2 T's

Teachers need training and time off.
This is so true. There are alternative pathways out there, but they are time-consuming and complicated.

Educational institutions need funding for training and research, which *might* open up time for exploration of these pathways.

#EduSky #AIEdu #EduAI #AIinEducation
Yes! It’s not that teachers couldn’t level text, create alt assignments, etc. it’s that they don’t have the time to do it. AI helps create these items in a fraction of the time. Giving time back to teachers that desperately need it. #EduSkyAI

How many people here have looked into the environmental impacts of AI. Coming to find that little to no people have even THOUGHT about this. Wild. Would love to start a thread or whatever they are called here focused solely on that!!
