Adam,

A3 I think the worry for me is around the lack of critical thinking of Ss around risk, violence, right wing politics, antivaxxers, climate denial, prosperity doctrine, skateboarding, sex, drugs, rock & roll etc

#AI is pretty low on the list of concerns.

Think the early data has shown that #AI has reduced critical thinking capability. Don’t quote me on that, just a headline grab that I saw. The last thing we need is more things taken at face value without questioning. #EduSkyAU

I have to double take at time especially in social media videos/ images. Algorithms have their place but we also need to understand the behind the scenes #EduSkyAU

I hear that. And also have heard this for 20+ years, and not just in relation to technology. Part of the issue is that the metrics we use to assess student success rarely have time or priority for critical thinking that takes time, is messy, and deeply personal. But...

I love the New Metrics from University of Melbourne that hopes to shift this dynamic. #EduSkyAU

...also AI interaction by students can be some of the most visible thinking and learning for Ss if we bother to look at how they use AI. Imagine being able to see how Ss chat with AI as a form of learning. Visible. & historical. They can look back and see how far they've come over time. #EduSkyAU

A3 Michelle Dennis made a good point at Edutech. Teachers already know how to teach critical thinking, responsibility, fairness etc. It doesn't really matter what the tech is, they are still teaching all those things.#EduSkyAU

I think #criticalthinking can be contextual, too. If you are unaware that #AI can have hallucinations, then you may not know what to look out for. #EduSkyAU

Yes! #EduSkyAU
