We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately. We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice. Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie oecd.ai/en/wonk/how-...

"The amount of AI-generated child abuse images found on the internet is increasing at a chilling rate, according to a national watchdog." These disturbingly realistic images can be generated from real children's images from social media. news-sky-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/news.sky...

Had fun with the "intelligent piece of paper" 5th yr CS students. Led to great discussions on algorithms, pseudocode and what intelligence really means thanks to @cs4fn.bsky.social for lesson idea! teachinglondoncomputing.org/resources/in...

I wondered what the maths classroom would be like after 2yr absence! If the hype was true, ChatGPT would change T&L! Well guess what? Not much is different! Human connection, "mess" of maths learning in student copies, asking students to explain their thinking. No AI can replace that! #BeyondTheHype

Any Maths teachers? 😃 I used to love that other platform for getting ideas for the classroom. And posting up those questions from students that sometimes I struggle to answer 🤪 #edchatie
