New OA Publication! Our team worked with elem. teachers to use ChatGPT to enhance their mathematics lessons based on students’ interests. It was a team effort (researchers and teachers) and I’m proud of the result #MathEd #GenAI #EdTech #EdPsych doi.org/10.1016/j.ca... (1/4)

Minister of higher ed interferes directly with a course, determining what can be taught. I guess the academic freedom law passed in Quebec does not apply to those in power. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Last week, as part of our @mcgill.ca LS brown bag series, we did a "speed-mentoring" activity that ended up being SO awesome, much more successful than I had predicted. TL;DR: GREAT activity for community-building! For more details, read on... #AcademicTwitter 1/3 @edtechprof.bsky.social

Universities in Canada are being gutted because politicians wanted to blame them for societal ills. The attack in the USA is more direct and dire. But it has been happening here too. As Canada rises to the current challenges, we should invest in Canadian innovation, invest in our Universities.

I'm very glad that the two Canadian funding organizations my work is currently supported by, NSERC and CIFAR, have publicly stated guidelines and commitments toward diversity, equity, and inclusion in scientific research. www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/... cifar.ca/equity-diver...

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

For those studying EdTech, I highly recommend the ETS podcast by Neil. It takes a critical look at the role of tech in education and looks at the broader impact; the business models, values, and goals of tech makers often conflict with educators and research. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

I think this is a way to assetize all compute so future PC tasks all have to be done via a subscription to some cloud service, what AWS has wanted to do for years. Gone will be the days of buying a pc to do your work, you will pay a lifetime subscription to run cloud programs that use AI.
