Love it Mags ❤️
What a great day

But all I want to know is Tianammen square a nice place to visit?

Thanks for sharing. Great read

Great article 👏👏

Thank you Emer. It's exciting, I'm learning so much. Will be presenting some early findings @dcuioe.bsky.social www.hackthiscourse.com/symposium/#/

To be fair I would say that lots of people aren't even aware of this issue...honestly! And that's from having discussions with colleagues.

And of course not forgetting all the other ethical issues around using AI in education.

Too much hype, too much bells and whistles, not enough questioning 😩

Thanks John...yep good to be back

In CS space, much of the literature and my own research would say novice programmers should not use AI. I would think it's the same for other fields too.

I do similar in my maths class & that's coming from someone who loves tech & teaches CS!! I'm using less and less tech in the maths class recently..Students need to discuss what they're thinking, and show the "mess of learning" in their copies.

Will send DM. LinkedIn is great for all this stuff. Has been great for my research, for connecting with people but also my own learning ! I'm learning all the time..we need to model this with our students as well. Learning about AI is not about using it..in fact the more I learn the less I use it 🤣

Are we entering "model collapse"? 🤷‍♀️ Lots written up about this too.

And takes stuff from itself....because there's so much AI generated stuff out there , it's starting to eat itself... As written by @eam0.bsky.social in this linkedin post

I have loads of interesting articles and links but maybe they need a separate thread 😃 a discussion around "AI in education" needs to go beyond "the tools". We owe it to our students to learn ABOUT AI before USING it. This is as recommended by UNESCO and other country guidelines.

@leonfurze.com has some great blogs about this ...this one on "teacher workload" well worth a read. leonfurze.com/2024/08/16/l...

The narrative out there is that it does make your job easier ..but says who? We need to be critical of this discourse. One of the most enjoyable parts of teaching for me is designing lessons, I don't want an algorithm to do that for me!

My 5th yr students (age ~15-17) are struggling to understand the difference between rule-based and ML AI.
Going to try this unplugged activity tmw. Good old fashioned cutting and pasting 😀
Learning about AI before using AI!

A mixture of resources:

Elements of AI www.elementsofai.com/ie
Experience AI
experience-ai.org/en/units/exp...
@raspberrypi.bsky.social and @cs4fn.bsky.social

Looking forward to more lessons about intelligence and AI
Learning about AI before going near using ANY AI!
