A study in HS shows that a chatbot trained to act as a tutor did not bolster learning, and the standard chatbot harmed it. Edutopia is not deterred, looks to college students for confirmation. The article ends with what looks like ads for Khanmigo and MagicSchool. #EdTech #EduSkyAI #EduAI

A growing body of research suggests: Unrestricted AI use can hinder students’ performance. 📉 But well-designed AI tutors may be able to bolster learning. 📈 Here’s a brief overview of the findings—and some tips for customizing effective AI chatbots. #EdTech #EduSkyAI #EduAI

"AI does not suffer from bias, fatigue, or inconsistency, making it theoretically capable of delivering equal and objective education to all students." This misconception is incredibly dangerous to teachers and students. These systems tend to amplify, not erase, bias. #AI #TLSky #EduSkyAi

I'm just going to throw out there that one thing we can do about it is not use generative AI. (This suggestion is also free, by the way.) #EduSky #EdChat #AIEducation

I guess if you consider 'marking' student writing to be comparing two pieces of writing and determining which one is better... okay? Another case of tech changing criteria rather than meeting them. "AI essay markers have been around for the 1960s" <- Yep, this isn't the hard part. #AIinEducation

We've been sceptical about AI marking. Not any more! When the facts change, we change our minds. We think this is really big. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/so-can-ai-...

Anonymisation is often crucial with #AiInEdu as today's final 🎯 #TopTips of the week explains: 🔒 "AI is Safe to Use" Why? Many assume AI tools are safe by default. Reality: Using AI without data privacy awareness can expose sensitive information. Always check before use. #EdTech #AiMythBusting

I find it disturbing that "Ditch That Textbook" would advocate for circumventing thinking through how a template could work for a particular class. This is the type of cognitive labor that deepens teacher understanding of pedagogy and student experience. #EdTech #AIinEducation #EduSky

This post implies that 'AI' and LLMs are equivalent terms, and this person is running a PD on AI! The article itself demonstrates how #AIinEducation PD has become an avenue for marketing the products big tech is pushing on schools, rather than focusing on what works for student learning.

Nick Huxley PhD researcher/ MEd/ Qualified Teacher@nickhuxley.bsky.social · last yr.

Recent survey shows 69% of teachers say they use AI—but are they really? I ran internal AI CPD this week, found: 🔹 Only 4/25 had used ChatGPT 🔹 No one had touched Microsoft Copilot—despite free access! The gap isn’t AI—it’s training. Read more: www.linkedin.com/posts/nickhu... #AIinEducation

This "Vibe" approach is horrifically emblematic of the approach that edu-influencers are taking to #AIinEducation. No evidence, ignoring all the actual research, but whatever feels good (or brings $$$), just go with the vibes. It's so frustrating. #EduSky #AiEDU #Coding #CSeducation

I'm still hoping someone will make a bingo card with all of this AI hype marketing pressure, but this article does a great job of breaking it down. #AIinEducation

Anne Lutz Fernandez@lutzfernandez.bsky.social · last yr.

A torrent of messages are meant to rush teachers into using AI tools. Here is a 🧵 of some of them--and reasons to resist the mania are in the links: "AI will save you time!" "You're avoiding AI out of fear!" "Using AI makes you a cutting edge teacher!"

Can you really blame them for thinking that when charters are talking about replacing teachers with AI and we have posts like this from the man laughing about using a chainsaw to cut government jobs? This is not "empowering" to educators. #AIinEducation

Even with only 300 characters and an image, it seems like we should at least get a vague sense of what this product actually does, rather than a series of buzzwords haphazardly strung together. Also, BlueSky makes alt text so easy. Why not use it? #AIinEducation #Edtech #accessibility

Much of the work in #EdTech confuses specific tools and applications with general marketing hype, while ignoring connections to broader impacts of tools and the social and political narratives connected to the marketing hype. #AIEdu #EduSky

Charles Logan@charleswlogan.bsky.social · last yr.

And another question for educators and anybody pushing AI hype: if you’re welcoming AI tools and platforms into schools and universities, how are you grappling with what @ruha9.bsky.social names the New Jim Code? With the acute harm these technologies are inflicting on minoritized communities?

"[Teachers] feel guilty...as if efficiency is a moral failing." "But we must separate work that is tedious and replaceable from work that is meaningful and relational." The moral failing is not recognizing the meaningful and relational in what we cut for "efficiency". #EduSky #AIEdu #EdTech

Mindful AI for Education@mindfulaiedu.bsky.social · 2y ago

The most important thing students get in an AI-driven classroom isn’t automation—it’s you. 💡 If AI is part of your teaching, make sure your human fingerprints are all over it. #EduSky #AiEdu #EdTech New post 👉 mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/leaving-yo...

The number of edu-influencers who are taking old ideas, slapping 'AI' on them, and pretending they've found the 'golden key' to education is astounding. Often people publish books, but sometimes they want you to pay to read the second half of their blog posts. #EduSky #AIEdu

This so exemplifies the 'solution looking for a problem' conundrum that tech is having with these new tools. They are really hoping that users will come up with viable use cases that will lead to eventual profit. #EduSky #AIEdu

Aaron Makelky@handle.invalid · 2y ago

"But what should I use AI for?" I hear this question almost daily Having a mental model of what AI should vs should not do for you is as critical as prompting or knowing tools. #aiedu #edu #edusky

“If you go to a school, it’s very much the same as 300 years ago.” <- TIL education is still dominated by one room schoolhouses, teachers will little training, and kids leaving after just a few years. Why do we take these people seriously? #EduSky #AIinEducation

Reflecting on how to create lessons that impact students, to inspire them to share ideas, and to support their individual needs are all ways we facilitate better connection with students. More time on software isn't. It's always efficiency over quality with these promotional posts. #AIinEducation

Teachers are quibbling over the percentage that ChatGPT contributes to cheating behaviors, while new charters are bragging about not having teachers and the face of the 'AI' takeover of government services is saying things like this. The objectives aren't secret. #EdTech #EduSky #AIinEducation

This study should be an addendum to our latest post. AI doesn't cause cheating. Culture and lack of engagement do. #EduSky #AiEDU #EdTech studyfinds.org/ai-myth-debu...

#AIinEducation #EdTech Students are outraged that they signed up for a university education and are getting AI slop instead. Big miss for experts in marketing, as young people appear much more skeptical of this tech than those who want to push it on them are.

Imagine dismissing communication with people about their children, tailoring lessons for your students, or deciding how you can best assess learning as 'paperwork' that should be offloaded to software.

I do think people are trying their best with this, but how do we go from "AI is an umbrella phrase for systems designed to mimic human intelligence" to "AI is a tool" in a single article? It's this sort of ambiguity in terminology that makes it hard to talk about efficacy and impacts. #EduSky #AIEdu

I don't understand why people keep posting videos of these products doing terrible jobs. The vocabulary is a mess, and I'm not convinced that encouraging students to share traumatic experiences is a 'perfect' discussion prompt. #EdTech #AIinEducation

As appealing as it may be to offload this thinking work in a time crunch, teachers should reflect on the value we bring when we (not software) decide how to prioritize feedback, create action items, etc. How much are we okay asking tech to 'speak directly to the student' for us? #EduSky #AiEdu
