"Anthropic and OpenAI researchers raised fresh concerns about recursive self-improvement, the process by which AI helps improve the development of models...Researchers fear humans could eventually lose control of increasingly capable systems." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"[T]wo educators trace what happened after a student said something that could have been dismissed as attitude but turned out to be something else entirely." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"We draw a line between technical accessibility and what we call practical accessibility. A site can meet every criterion in WCAG 2.1 AA and still be genuinely hard to use if the people building it never designed alongside the people who’d rely on it." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning

"[F]riction may be the primary mechanism by which learning transforms the human mind. At present, AI is helping to remove this cognitive struggle from the thinking process, treating it as the exhaust of learning." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Chromebooks, tablets and online learning platforms have become part of modern education, and today’s students need digital literacy to succeed in college and the workforce. Pretending otherwise ignores reality." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"'Ninety-five percent completion.' It sounds like success. It might mean nothing. Completion tells you people reached the last screen. It doesn't tell you whether they learned anything, liked it, or do their job differently now." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning

"[E]arly research is only beginning to scratch the surface of how this technology will truly affect learning and cognition in the long run." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"The real question is no longer simply, 'Is this AGI?' The better question is: What kind of intelligence has arrived, what can it reliably do, and which of our institutions are prepared for it?" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"The...challenge is no longer merely teaching students how to use AI. It is developing the judgment, technical understanding, ethical reasoning, adversarial thinking, and democratic capacity required to govern systems that may become both more powerful" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #AIEdu

"A new study shows giving university students access to ChatGPT helped them produce higher-scoring, more expert-like work,...a critical-thinking intervention changed something the..grading rubric largely missed: the range and distinctiveness of their ideas" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #AIEdu

"Shakespeare...wrote about AI constantly, but he just called it magic." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"AI produces outputs; humans take responsibility for the work they choose to use." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

“AACTE’s Framework reflects our commitment to ensuring that technology serves, not supplants, the expertise, ethics, and professional judgment of educators.” #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Large language models (LLMs) can produce incorrect information, misrepresent sources, and even invent convincing citations to publications that do not exist...teach [students] how to use AI tools that keep evidence at the center of the research process" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #AIEdu

"[N]o matter how much machine intelligence is baked into a system, if it doesn’t account for the unpredictability of human behavior it will still be dumb in human intelligence." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Most AI failures are organizational, not technical—Ironically a failure of human in the loop making unrealistic decisions." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Institutions learned that putting a course online was not the same as designing a good online course. Teaching and instructional design, feedback mattered, student support and services and accessibility mattered." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning

"AI will undermine the pedagogical assumptions that guided the choice of content, the methods of instruction, and the ways of assessing student performance." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Getting ready to take a little I ❤️ EdTech on the road! We’re preparing for upcoming technology conferences—and this year, some of our recruiting SWAG is coming directly from our 3D printer.

Jeep owners have their ducks.
EdTech people have their hearts. ❤️

"New guidance from CoSN emphasizes that screen time policies should focus on quality, not quantity: Technology use should support learning, protect students, reflect local priorities, and advance instruction." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning
