Multi-turn conversations (4+ turns) provide more opportunities for vocabulary learning and language development compared to brief 2-3 turn exchanges, as they allow for sustained back-and-forth dialogue and deeper engagement. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Study claims AI hurts thinking but uses biased sample (76% had graduate degrees!), relies on self-reports vs real tests, and shows correlation not causation. Key stats missing. Claims exceed evidence. www.mdpi.com/2075-4698/15...
A March 2025 report shows AI literacy as LinkedIn's top skill, with 72% supporting it in schools. Beijing mandates AI classes, universities launch new programs, and libraries evolve to include AI specialist roles. ailiteracy.institute/ai-literacy-...

Check out my guest appearance on the Transformative Principal to learn how I use AI as a "reading assistant" to better understand research, optimize time & unlock AI's capabilities. I share concrete strategies for integrating AI tools to enhance learning. transformativeprincipal.org/s12/583
This argues creating human-like AI is computationally intractable & current systems mislead cognitive science. It proposes reclaiming AI as a theoretical tool for developing better theories of cognition, rather than pursuing artificial general intelligence link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Maria Murray warns that many teens can't read (30% of 8th graders below basic) and urges principals to act. She outlines 5 steps: train teachers, use data, pick proven methods, schedule reading time, and tier support. lnkd.in/gkY8SJRY
Schön critiques the "technical rationality" model for overlooking professional artistry, emphasizing "reflection-in-action" to handle complex situations. This reflective approach is crucial for true expertise. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3...
Paraphrasing restates someone's message to show understanding. Types include event-only (just facts), durative descriptive (adds context), evaluative (reflects feelings), and adequate (combines all). Research shows context matters. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
