Thought for the day: As adults, are many of us too focused on being replaced & therefore dismissive? Are we overly constrained by rules & norms? Does the creativity of youth & the willingness to explore AI mean the next generation are actually more likely to make us redundant than AI itself?
Thought for the day: As much as I am optimistic about AI in education, it's important to carefully consider where, how and more importantly WHY we might use it. We certainly don't want to use it everywhere, all the time. #sketchnote #responsibleuse #edusky
