AWrap) Just a shout-out to the coordinators and participants of this awesome throw-back to the #lrnchat of old. It's basically the only reason I'm using BlueSky, but it's a very refreshing one.

Thanks #LearnChat! ✌️

Someone pointed me toward perplexity.ai, which combines a bunch of different models and provides sources with every reply.

If you're stuck in one of the Xfinity local monopolies, you can probably pick up a year of Pro for free via Xfinity Rewards. #LearnChat

A7) I think I'd mostly like to be more deliberate about learning goals and expectations this year. I'm finding ways to increase my productivity with the creative use of AI tools, and maybe that will translate into more time to explore the unknown as it relates to professional development. #LearnChat

A6) Lately, it seems like all you have to do is throw a rock and you'll hit a newfangled AI tool. I think this is causing at least as much harm as it is good. It's definitely increasing my productivity in some areas, but it can also impact expectations.

It'll require mindful application. #LearnChat

Hello! I'm up in Ridgefield. 👋

A5) One of my projects this week centers on using our existing tools to develop personalized learning. For example, the creative use of variables and object states can give us a ton of options for creating engaging content that is relevant to the learner.

Also, there's *all* of the AI... #LearnChat

Safe travels!

Likewise! #LearnChat

A4) This is a tough one because there's so much variety in the quality of the existing learning experience -- and I think it has lowered the bar in some cases on what learners expect.

We tend to get incredible feedback when we've advocated for their experience throughout our process. #LearnChat

A3) Depends on what I want to know and the conditions under which I am pursuing that learning. I feel like this is usually reactive for me. I need to know something to complete an aspect of a project, so I go pick up what I need to complete it. #LearnChat

A2) I'm going to echo a few others in that my plan here is to actively ignore societal trends. I suspect that spending energy focusing on those will only distract me from what needs to be done. #LearnChat

A1) I feel like I haven't spent much time focusing on this yet, so I'm guessing my first goal is to establish some goals. 🙃 #LearnChat

Evening all. Kel Krehbiel joining (fashionably?) late from just north of Portland, OR. 👋

This week has been all about overcoming the post-holiday amnesia. #LearnChat
