- How quaint. Instead of improving their products to meet students' needs, Open AI just keeps making it harder to teach media & AI literacy. And without that literacy, no student should be using AI for anything.
- David Gilbert's @wired.com warning of what's coming explains why it's a waste of valuable class time to teach students to spot fakes by looking for missing or added fingers or limbs or similar artifacts of AI distortion. Fakes are getting better & platforms are incentivized to feature them. 🍎📚🧪🗺️ 1/2

- Reposted by Faith RogowAbout 18 months ago I sent this letter, along with a copy of my book, to a number of MPs and peers, including Wes Streeting. I never got a response (which to be fair was my baseline expectation), but it’s still disheartening to see today’s news about Haidt’s invitation to speak to policymakers.

- 🍎📚 #earlychildhood This of list of words the US govt has banned is laughable. (I actually laughed out loud at gems like: equal opportunity, belong, expression, pronoun, female & woman. Men/male are apparently okay). This feels like satire, but please don't take it as a joke. It's deadly serious.
- Every educator, from preK on up, ought to be very concerned. Education doesn't mean anything if it can't help students distinguish between accurate and [deliberately] inaccurate info. 🍎📚🗺️ #AcademicSky #Skybrarians #EdTech #MediaLiteracy #InformationLiteracy #DigitalCitizenship #Civics

There are no educational benefits, lots of dangers, and they create extra work for conscientious adults. #EduSky #EdTech

- It is worth noting that according to even the most conservative estimates, there was no violence and fewer than 50 arrests (less than .001%) of the 5-7million No Kings protestors on Saturday. That includes a woman accused of lewdness for her penis costume holding a sign that said, "No Dick Tators."
