- Feeling behind on AI news? 2 podcast episodes helped me catch up—and reminded me why mindset is as important as keeping pace. "What CAN it do?" vs "What CAN'T it do?" matters more than you think. 🆕 New post on growth mindset + AI: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/ai-updates... #EduSky #AIEdu
- Every school needs to anchor its AI approach in its mission and values. Whether it's Ignatian spirituality, progressive education, classical pedagogy, or any other foundation, AI integration should align with the mission. A new post from me. #AIEdu #EduSky
- Is your educational mission guiding AI use? If not, you’re implementing technology for technology’s sake—and that’s a misguided recipe that serves neither students nor teachers. ➡️ New Post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/ai-integra... #AIEdu #EduSky #AIinEducation
- Here we go.
- "Generative AI just demonstrates that schools have gotten so caught up in the points-grades-GPA game that students have lost sight of the real goal: learning." ➡️ Is AI the biggest problem, or is it that kids see grades as their goal rather than learning? #EduSKy #AiEDU edut.to/4sionKO
- I showed this to my high school class today. Most got them right, but not all students got all of them right. That is good data and emphasizes a pressing need for AI literacy. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation www.npr.org/2025/11/30/n...

- AI detectors will always lag behind AI generation. What if we focused on student transparency instead of playing tech whack-a-mole? #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation 👀 New post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/why-i-use-...
- 🎬 What I learned from Veo 3: directing AI video feels a lot like real filmmaking—intentional, detailed, and sometimes unpredictable. Details, process and full prompts here: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/putting-go... #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation #Veo3

- I put Google's Veo 3 to the test. It did not disappoint. My video and a behind-the-scenes post on how I made it and what I learned about this potentially game-changing tool are below. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation
- Creating an introduction video for a high school AI course was a fitting way to experiment with Google's Veo 3. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation youtu.be/ZbrqGk7eQ9Q
- A new post over @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social on the cautionary tale and hope that updated AI videos reveal. If you are a teacher and you aren't thinking about AI Literacy, now is the time. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation
- Have you seen the viral Biblical influencers and Bigfoot and Yeti videos on Instagram 👀? Made with AI. Polished. Persuasive. Funny. The implications are huge. AI literacy isn’t a “future skill.” It’s a right now skill. #EduSky #AIEdu New post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/the-gospel...
- Is getting started with AI on your summer to-do list? Not sure where to begin? Everyone has to find their breakthrough moments. Maybe my journey can help you discover some useful AI possibilities. #EduSky #AIEdu From @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/the-flashi...
- Reposted by Mica Mulloy“Writing is thinking” is true; I learn so much when I admit I need to rip up most of a draft. But in spite of building revision stages into assignments, I think I’ve rarely led students to grasp this for themselves in a writing course. It takes a long project they care about, like a thesis. 1/2

- Tired of cobbling together exam questions from publisher banks and archive folders? There's a better way to dial in test questions. We have a new post over at @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social #AISky #AIEdu #EduSky
- Too many test banks are written for someone else’s students. Too little time to rewrite everything. This teacher found a better way to create tests with AI that actually fit his students. Not too hard. Not too easy. Just right. 🆕 New post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/not-too-ha...

- I don't know that this saved me any time, but students got so much more individualized feedback than I ever could have generated on my own. Sometimes AI isn't about working less—it's about impact per hour invested 💪 🕰️. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/what-happe...
- Reposted by Mica MulloyFantastic example. I love voice transcription! And I particularly like what you said here about not “working less” but aiming for greater impact

- Teachers know the feedback paradox: students need detailed, timely comments to grow, but grading 150 assignments quickly is nearly impossible. So we tried something different—using AI to amplify (not replace) our voice. #EduSky #AIEdu #EdTech New Post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/what-happe...

- 🎙️ Our 2nd @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social podcast episode dropped today. We dig into what intentional and effective AI use looks like for one of our students, and his @flintk12.bsky.social tool that is now one of the company's most popular templates. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation #EdTech
- In our new podcast episode, we explore the habits, mindset, and strategies that distinguish a student who uses AI as a learning partner from those who use it as a shortcut. @flintk12.bsky.social #EduSky #AIEdu #EdTech mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/mindful-ai...
- These findings largely mirror what I am seeing when AI is used intentionally, with purpose, and with expanding learning in mind, not just taking shortcuts. Are you seeing any of this in your classroom? #AIEdu #EduSky #AI

- Pope Leo points to AI and the "new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour" it creates. Leo XIII pushed for fair pay and treatment of workers during the industrial revolution. We've got important work to do to keep humans and their dignity at the center of progress.
- Pope Leo XIV signalled on Saturday he would continue with the vision and reforms of Pope Francis, telling the world's Catholic cardinals the late pontiff left a "precious legacy" that must carry on. For @reuters.com:

- Reposted by Mica MulloyThis paper confirms my belief that figuring out how to effectively employ LLMs at scale in education is one of the most important research problems of the day (and no, the answer is not “replace teachers with AI”) Huge potential returns, and the worst case use of AI is already happening in schools.
