Generative AI seems to be in error, incomplete, inaccurate. Just like all other technologies at this point in their emergence.

Your students have goals. It’s just they don’t always align with yours.

Intelligence is “figuring g out what needs to be done and doing it.” This seems the most accurate definition I’ve ever encountered.

Is it just me, or is it increasingly common to see folks sabotage the process so decisions are not made, then they complain the decisions haven’t been made.

AI can see things in the environment we cannot… and warn us.

Progressive pedagogy is grounded in cognitive psychology, which posits learners must be actively engaged in making meaning of new information.

Does anyone else find it ironic that AI is being used to decide if we are human?

35 years in education has convinced me: Effective teaching begins with problems students perceive to be relevant.

Technology that is only a novelty isn’t going to catch on… until it does.

“An authentic context reflects the way the knowledge will be used in real life.” Yes... this will improve students' interest.

“Humans can be a remarkably self-defeating species….” Yup, pretty much.

“People think of education as something they can finish.”
― Isaac Asimov

“Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.”
― Richard P. Feynman

Chess tournaments in which the players get advice from computers. Is this any different from say a car race?

"Technology is the canvas upon which we paint the future. With each innovation, we broaden the brushstrokes of possibility."

Is this a real quote or did AI write it?

Does #edtech Benefit Students?

“When people learn collaboratively, they have to externalize their own previous knowledge, reflect upon it, explain it to others, and ask questions. These activities in turn, lead to learning in each individual." Yup pretty much.
