I know the image attached to this post obviously came from an AI but I enjoy participating in workshops with students and co-creating playful content. So 10 years ago, this little post might emerge a reminder of the fun we had with prompts to DALL-E. #TUSdx

It's March 2025 and #INTED2025 has set a high bar for "Best Edtech Conference." I let Magisto AI summarise make a 45 second summary of the 45 minute workshop that @educatefran.bsky.social and I did in Valencia.

We open many of our EU AI Training sessions for @dermotcasey.bsky.social with an online quiz concerning AI Governance. This treatise shows the foundation of an interconnected panopticon that we will attach to training materials.

@educatefran.bsky.social These fun-sized 160g colour sheets would be lovely hands-on booklet ideas when teaching your workshops.

One of the most beautiful examples of AI for Good emerged in front of me during the first open coffee session at #INTED2025 when Dr Susy and Dr Miller chatted about using AI with older people.

I have a system that starts at Markdown, moves to public view, and then gets micropublished with [content from Bernie’s topgold blog](Quick Notes after AI Workshop). I’m sharing the process with TUSdx and they’re reciprocating with snippets from their Substacks. Details on my Topgold.ie blog.

@anildash.com That's @marklittle.bsky.social citing you as a grandfather of rewilding, remembering how you said "there's not going to be some new killer app that displaces Google or Facebook or X with a love-powered alternative. There should be lots of different, human-scale alternatives ..."

You know it is Spring in Ireland when you see frogs crossing the roads and when you hear frogs croaking to attract attention. We go walking in a local forest to observe these rituals. The cacophony is seasonal and so welcome. https://topgold.micro.blog/2025/02/19/you-know-it-is-spring.html

Chris Hayes reminded me of a Socrates warning."If men learn about the art of writing, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls: They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves."

I have 73 students taking 3 different AI courses I teach. I show how Deep Research can write 10 page tech reports--outstanding results in less than 10 minutes. "I input my original research results and the AI frees me up to complete economically valuable work." Queue the chat about ethics. #TUSdx

Until today, I didn’t know know AI could get 275 tokens per second by accessing Deepseek R-1 through the American AI cloud, Groq. For reference, a human speaks at around 2-3 tokens per second. R-1 delivers much more efficiency than OpenAI o1 for a comparable level of performance.
