These examples of generative thinking in the classroom completely align with my experience using AI to brainstorm and think creatively rather than just as a shortcut to the “right” answer.

The result has been deeper learning and engagement with the subject

Learners & Pedagogy - FIRST
Ensure equity & data privacy
Beware of the snake-oil
Proceed w/ balanced curiosity & caution
Ask: Is this a solution in search of prob, or a solution to existing prob? (Should be the latter)
"Free" is hardly ever truly "free"
Less = more

This came back to mind today from all the way back in March at SXSW EDU:

Neil Degrasse Tyson: “You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time.”

When info is new/scary/confusing… add humor. 😂
The image is a slide from a presentation with the title "COMEDY IS IMPORTANT FOR COMMUNICATION" written in large white text on a solid blue background. Beneath the title, there are three key points about the role of comedy in communication, each supported by research: "Comedy can make others view you as more confident and competent." This is attributed to Bitterly et al., 2016, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. "Audiences retain more information longer when they enjoy receiving it." This is credited to Carlson, 2011, De Gruyter. "Laughter increases energy, interest, and approval of a topic." This is sourced from Chung & Zhao, 2003, Review of Marketing Communications. A small logo in the top-right corner reads "SXSW EDU" alongside another design. The slide uses simple, professional fonts, and the information is laid out in three columns under the main title.
