I have posted this song before (on the other site), but I think it deserves posting here. The singer/songwriter, Phil Hart, has been a consistent voice for justice in the world.

A digitally rendered image features a friendly humanoid robot with a silver body, blue glowing eyes, and a black screen-like face. The robot wears a red tie and a "VISITOR" badge. It stands in a classroom with a chalkboard and papers pinned on the walls. Large bold text reads: "AI Student Learning Activities with Prompts!" Below, keyboard-style buttons display the ControlAltAchieve logo. The image promotes an educational post about using AI in student learning activities.

As 2025 begins, so does the year’s first full moon, which also marks the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. Known as the “wolf moon,” it gets its name from the idea that wolves howl during January’s long, cold nights.

AI is a remarkable tool – but it is one which needs a gentle hand when it is integrated into education.

When and How to Use AI in Education
Our challenge as teachers isn’t to catch up – it’s about showing  our students how to use these tools safely, authentically, effectively, and with a massive dose of skepticism.

Today my son wrote an essay wo/help for his AP World History class. We ran it through an "AI Detector" and it came back 84% created by AI. He tried another assignment, also his own words. 90% positive AI generated. The evidence is clear. #EduSky #AIEdu #EduSky

Just created an AI agent using my data, files, ideas, prompts, and guidance for others in my organization to use. It took about five minutes in Copilot Studio. I'm imagining so many possibilities! #EduSkyAI #AIEdu #MicrosoftEdu
