Has anyone #edusky used boddle learning? I have set up a demo, and it really looks great in the absence of the old Classcraft. #boddlelearning #lms

CSI Progressive era unit is going awesome! Our 1st case L.Hine ended with a trial for children's rights! Second case: Upton Sinclair and immigration of the early 1900s. If you want details to do this for your class, hit me up! Happy to share! #teachingwithpurpose

There’s much discussion about AI detection tools & the challenges of #GenAI in education. Instead of focusing on misuse I’ve been exploring ways to ethically and effectively integrate AI to enhance learning.🎧 blog.heinemann.com/podcast-gene... I’d love to hear your thoughts. #edtech #edusky #AIWW

What do you think about having learning intentions and success criteria visible at all times and going back to it during a lesson being part of teacher observation and evaluation from admins? #edusky #askedusky

I designed a little "for funsies" inference activity called The cookie case" kids play along finding evidence to support their case on who took the cookies. They later present their findings. Cookies are given at the end of the class for everyone. Hit the dm for the link!

"At some point, OpenAI will charge their actual costs" is a pretty good reason why educators and school administrators should refuse to institutionalize OpenAI's tools and the ed-tech products that use OpenAI - and other generative AI too!
edzitron.com Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · Dec 3
The AI boom - and the tech industry - has oriented itself around generative AI, a tech with diminishing returns that costs billions to run with no path to profitability. At some point, OpenAI will charge their actual costs and gut this entire industry.
wheresyoured.at/godot-isnt-making-it
So, let me summarize: The main technology behind the entire "artificial intelligence" boom is generative AI — transformer-based models like OpenAI's GPT-4 (and soon GPT-5) — and said technology has peaked, with diminishing returns from the only ways of making them "better" (feeding them training data and throwing tons of compute at them) suggesting that what we may have, as I've said before, reached Peak AI. Generative AI is incredibly unprofitable. OpenAI, the biggest player in the industry, is on course to lose more than $5 billion this year, with competitor Anthropic (which also makes its own transformer-based model, Claude) on course to lose more than $2.7 billion this year. Every single big tech company has thrown billions — as much as $75 billion in Amazon's case in 2024 alone — at building the data centers and acquiring the GPUs to populate said data centers specifically so they can train their models or other companies' models, or serve customers that would integrate generative AI into their businesses, something that does not appear to be happening at scale. Their investments could theoretically be used for other products, but these data centers are heavily focused on generative AI. Business Insider reports that Microsoft intends to amass 1.8 million GPUs by the end of 2024, costing it tens of billions of dollars. Worse still, many of the companies integrating generative AI do so by connecting to models made by either OpenAI or Anthropic, both of whom are running unprofitable businesses, and likely charging nowhere near enough to cover their costs. As I wrote in the Subprime AI Crisis in September, in the event that these companies start charging what they actually need to, I hypothesize it will multiply the costs of their customers to the point that they can't afford to run their businesses — or, at the very least, will have to remove or scale back generative AI functionality in their products. The entire tech industry has become oriented around a dead-end technology that requires burning billions of dollars to provide inessential products that cost them more money to serve than anybody would ever pay. Their big strategy was to throw even more money at the problem until one of these transformer-based models created a new, more useful product — despite the fact that every iteration of GPT and other models has been, well, iterative. There has never been any proof (other than benchmarks that are increasingly easier to game) that GPT or other models would become conscious, nor that these models would do more than they do today, or three months ago, or even a year ago.

1/5 A key point about #AI that often gets overlooked: Human expertise is *essential* for evaluating AI output. I can quickly spot when AI translations are off in English, but I'd be lost evaluating Spanish translations since I don't speak it. #EduSky #AIinEducation #AcademicSky

I think we're probably underestimating the degree of change that will need to happen in education to deal with the presence of GenAI/LLMs. The studies I've read that show positive efficacy for LLM integration tend to measure that efficacy against what I call "schooling," rather than learning.

So...I have this idea of unpacking my whole Humanities unit (6 weeks) on the Progressive era as one giant CSI case🤔. Any pointers you might have? Audience will be 6th graders. #askedusky
