Given the challenges of building K-12 #CS teacher capacity, there are uses for GenAI as a guide & coding companion for teachers in addition to being a tool for teacher PD. My latest post in #CommunicationsOfTheACM on leveraging GenAI as a tool for #K12 #CS teachers. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

What’s really going on with campus-wide AI adoption is a mix of virtue signaling and panic purchasing. Universities aren’t paying for AI—they’re paying for the illusion of control. open.substack.com/pub/marcwatk...

remember how we spent 20+ years with the feds wanting our schools to be "data driven"? BUT state tests are not calibrated to one another, so the only way we get a snapshot of student achievement across the country is through NAEP testing. but it looks like the DOGE bros are eating that homework.

Someone asked me if there is a page that collects all the weird bullshit "AI" products currently being pushed to the market. That page exists. It's called linkedin dot com. But nobody there knows that they are in the asylum.

“You have to prepare your students for the future!” and "Your students are already using AI, so you must teach them how to use it ethically!" Two common messages used to push and pull teachers headlong into AI mania. I wrote about resisting these messages here:

I just got an email from an NSF program director that they are pausing their panels for the month of February. 🫠 "... we have received direction from our division leadership to pause our panels for the month of February. Practically and logistically-speaking, we are not sure what a “pause” means."

A policy raising the teacher salary floor in New Jersey boosted teacher pay statewide and led to improvements in student achievement and longer-term outcomes (most likely due to changes in the composition of entering teachers and teacher motivation) edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1104

We need a federal data privacy law now. Or we’ll continue down the road of a piecemeal strategy of banning popular foreign apps, while the US data broker industry continues to monetize the data of all Americans, mostly without our consent or notice. #AIBillofRights

As we kick off the first week of quarter, I am reminded that I my mental model is absolutely directory structure and I have no idea how students now live their entire lives in the chaotic laundry basket that is Google Drive. This article explains it so well: www.theverge.com/22684730/stu...

The huge excitement right now about AI in schools really needs tempering with some historical reality-checking. It won't be "different this time" because the tech is only one part of a bundle of financial and political desires, as tech in schools always has been.

Two years ago, I marveled at how easy it was to get travel info about esoteric towns via the internet. So much useful UGC. This time, it’s been hell. Search returns AI bullshit, outdated reddit content, trip advisor spam, and gobs of autogenerated crap. Finding accurate info is impossible. Le sigh.

I agree in principle, but it’s the same as linking any other environmental harm to individual choice. It would be nice if we all agreed not to use the tool, but it’s a massive collective action problem that requires regulation. If just the few of us who care opt out, it won’t change anything.

May be many reasons for this, but the update mentions the shift toward AIED. The community deserves to understand funding orgs’ candid take on the future of K12 CSEd & how they view it in rel to AI (in) Ed. I’ve heard frm folks that districts are being told to ditch CSEd & make it all about #AI.
