"Overheard in AI
It’s always fun being in a house with lots of smart people because you hear things that you might not otherwise. Here’s a list of them. I don’t agree with all of them but they’re at least an interesting portrait of what at least some people do believe..."

Fake Voices: The Ethics of Deepfakes
(MIT App Inventor)
"In this unit, students explore synthetic media by creating a smartphone app that can speak in different voices by changing the rate and pitch of the speech. Students work in groups to present arguments about the possible future impacts of various types of media, including ones in commerce and assistive technology as well as those used in crime.

Educators can use this lesson to introduce students to , provide a basic understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and prompt students to predict the possible future use and abuse of synthetic media in society."

AI + Ethics Curriculum for Middle School
from the MIT Media Lab
"This project seeks to develop an open source curriculum for middle school students on the topic of artificial intelligence. Through a series of lessons and activities, students learn technical concepts—such as how to train a simple classifier—and the ethical implications those technical concepts entail, such as algorithmic bias."

If you are having discussions in your spaces regarding and - maybe this slide deck can help. I have assembled a bunch of resources in a pretty decent structure. As I find things, they get added - time to get those chats started!

☃️ Surprise! We were expecting rain in this part of the state this morning. LOTS of late bus students walking in looking like snowmen (snow people?).

This explanation fascinates me:

My email drip this week focusing on Stocking Stuffers (1 per day for 5 days - today is day 2). I would love to move away from the Christmas theme next year, any ideas? Maybe a year end wrap up or looking towards the new year instead?

"This workflow tries to answer your research question with information from published papers."
My example is shown here with my initial question in the red box. Wow.

THIS one change in my settings changed my screen to look more like Tweetdeck.
I can now easily follow a collection of hashtags all in one column!

I love this - what if teachers posted this each week for students? Or... if the students took it over and posted each week for the entire school?
Thinking out loud (that should be a hashtag)...

It’s Wayback Thursday and time for some #History content. I want to highlight a few lesser-known historic sites for my first few Thursday history ...
A stone fort sits in the middle of the image, with the ground mostly cleared of trees for some distance away from the fort. The angles of the fort's walls reveal that it has a bastion for defense at each of the four corners of the fort.
A reenactor stands at the doors of the stone fort in period uniform for the Maryland Forces. He wears a tri-cornered black hat, a red dress uniform jacket, and black pants. He is holding a flintlock musket.
This is a view inside the stone fort with a stone wall going across the middle of the image and a white two-story building that houses the soldiers visible at the left edge of the image. In the center is a flag that has the British flag in the upper left quadrant and a black and yellow check-like pattern in the other three quadrants representing the crest of the Calvert family, the Lords Baltimore, who were the colonial proprietary owner of the colony of Maryland.
