I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Sending love and light to all my educator and school staff colleagues starting a new semester or school year. The excitement and energy is tangible. Yet the surge of activity can also be a challenge. Wishing you smoothness and happy connections, old and new. Thank you for all you do! 🩷

"Large data centers, many devoted to researching artificial intelligence, are expected to use more than 150 billion gallons of water across the U.S. over the next five years, according to the advocacy organization Alliance for the Great Lakes. That’s enough water to supply 4.6 million homes."
AI could deplete drinking water sources around Illinois, Midwest
Large data centers working on artificial intelligence that need water for cooling could drain area water supplies, a Great Lakes advocacy group warns.

A scholarly friend is looking for research participants around "The Lived Experiences of #AfricanAmerican #FirstGeneration #HigherEducation Students in the #AiChatbot College #Admissions Process." Is this you or someone you know? $30 gift card, impactful topic, and wonderful to add to your resume!
I am looking for first-generation African American students who have used AI chatbots to apply to college. If interested, please scan the QR code on the recruitment flyer. Thanks.

This is horrifying.
Young Indonesians are increasingly falling for fraudulent job ads on Telegram and Facebook, and getting trafficked to scam farms in Southeast Asia. Once there, they are forced to use AI to con people into parting with their life savings

Young Indonesians looking for jobs abroad are trafficked to fortified scam centers, where they are forced to weaponize AI chatbots and deepfakes.

I cannot emphasize this enough: Please do not use AI tools as therapy. Not only is it not a good replacement for actual therapy, but your chat logs could be shared with the government, and I don't think you need a reminder that especially right now in the US, that could put you in danger.
AI therapy is a surveillance machine in a police state
Big Tech wants you to share your private thoughts with chatbots — while backing a government with contempt for privacy.

Here’s how to request your 23andMe data be deleted—and why you might want to.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”

She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

I’m bringing 1985 to 2025. Behold, my Play Computer; the 1st time I connected to tech, when digital work was pure joy.

My clients’ tech love is limited. Mandated toys aren't magical, but I love finding ways they can be.

So, I’ll keep 1985 tech joy in my heart in the complex digital life of 2025.

If you’re like me, you’re tired of the constant #AI chatter. But, what if I told you there’s a new podcast w/ the edtech folks that created TPACK, Triple E, SAMR, SETI, GenAI-U, etc?

I can personally speak to the brilliance of Dr. Punya Mishra and Dr. Liz Kolb. open.spotify.com/episode/3iwJ...

Excellent reminders for the use of alt text on #EduSky! Did you know you can turn on alt text reminders in your BlueSky settings? 🦋
I just scrolled #EduSky for a few minutes and counted how many images used alt text vs those that did not.

Only 17 images had alt text whereas 36 did not. This means our community is not accessible to blind users or others who use screen readers.

We have a lot of room for improvement. 🧵
