My favorite quote from this article, "The responsible question for schools to ask is What does the research say about the best ways to teach and learn? AI mania has many instead asking, How can AI help teaching and learning?"

If you have even the smallest interest in AI, I cannot recommend Empire of AI by Karen Hao enough. Written in true investigative journalism form, it will remind hyper-optimists to be more sober-minded, and for extreme-pessimists, it may be even worse than you thought! Stay informed. Stay diligent!

Most educators have not actually read (or read into) OpenAI's mission statement. Take a look. What to you notice? What do you wonder? openai.com/charter/

I've been holding back on my thoughts concerning DEI rollbacks because it's simply tiring to keep fighting and fighting and fighting. That said, it's insidious on so many levels to take away policies and prior commitments to increase DIVERSITY, EQUITY, and INCLUSION.

Powerful dialogue, deep problem solving, and unmatched creativity all on full display in less than 1 hour. That is Solve in Time! #NCTIES25 #designthinking #edusky

"Post truth is pre fascism"

Know the difference between generative and predictive AI! To be clear, the latter is much more devastating.

Today we honor late Congressman and civil rights activist John Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday.

It finally happened. @kshelton.bsky.social and I got to share the stage as co-keynoters at #21CLHK. Hong Kong was amazing, the educators at the conference were an absolute pleasure to be with, but the highlight will forever be this!

OpenAI's forays into education lately are not motivated by interest in education, but by opportunistic market making now it's realized students are its main users and it could get into schools too. OpenAI is not a friend to public education. It's a private predator on public education funds. 1/3

Did you know that by substituting your morning coffee with green tea, you can eliminate up to 93% of what little joy you have left?

#BlackEduSky Am I the only one that hates standards based curriculum? Meaning, everything that is done has to be based on a standard (WSC) versus citing research, exploring and experimenting, and reflecting on the experience based on personal perception and student feedback. Sterility ≠ Creativity

This was a blast. Thank you @nancyinlux.bsky.social and John! #ISLECISLoft

My next book or keynote must center on coffee and education or I'm doing something wrong. I had the privilege of writing this intro many years ago and my thoughts have only grown. Culturally responsive teaching demands curiosity and care: a.co/d/9fncwQa
