Oh joy, another helpful AI infographic via LinkedIn. Off I go to my job as a liberaian, maybe to run some critical evaligane workshops and of course use New! Boulean! Logic!

This is obvious to anyone who teaches. #genAI #AIinEDU #EduSky gizmodo.com/learning-wit...

in a sane world, openAI execs would be driven from the village with pitchforks for the audacity of this

Misued the app? OpenAI needs to be held accountable by law. Accountability shouldn't be left to the parents of its victims.

Native people have been a part of Hollywood and wider American culture for centuries—but not always in the best ways. In this week's episode of Crash Course Native American History, we explore cultural appropriation, from redface to pretendians, and everything in between. youtu.be/7Tg2mCKP6tY

I am grateful to @che-jim.com and @thecrashcourse.bsky.social for this terrific video. Must watch for American history classrooms. #SocialStudies #USHistory #EduSky youtu.be/InZacsO8ico?...

Children certified in Gemini, a product that amplifies bias, misinformation, and environmental degradation? K-12 schools should ignore this and encourage kids to think past the genAI hype.

Are we really at a stage in public education where we consider it OK to have literally Google-branded schoolchildren whose learner identities are tied to being "responsible AI" users of private for-profit technologies?

If you can, make some time to read this if you're in anyway connected to a classroom:

Something I noticed when I wrote about school districts promoting AI for Google for Education: These are the YouTube video thumbnails. Is this the most excited they could get the kids to look? #genAI #EdTech CC @civicsoftech.bsky.social

I have been obsessed with the Karen Read trial for months. I recently noticed connections between the efforts to convict her and the efforts to sell genAI to K-12 schools. www.criticalinkling.com/p/karen-read...

This site brilliantly demonstrates the perils of relying on LLM generated content. It creates code to show a clock from nine popular models every minute. Changes within each model are alarming. Keep it on screen for 10 minutes, and tell me how you feel about relying on LLMs! clocks.brianmoore.com

I have seen "Gen AI is as good as those using it" so often on social media. Heck no. If a tool is so finicky that it has to be used just so to prevent generating harmful content, maybe the tool isn't very useful. Put the onus on the company behind the tool, not the user. #EduSky

i'm interested in basic research that: 1. shines light on how existing platforms, models, & the industry at large operates 2.uncovers intentionally obscured info/data 3. is adversary to industry but informative to public. verifiable & independent body of knowledge to equip people to demand better

i receive so many emails from fellow researchers working in the AI accountability space looking to collaborate, join my lab, etc… while i appreciate each effort in this space, i am not interested in any effort focused on: 1. helping users (this puts the onus on users) navigate existing systems 1/

I'm seeing a lot of Gemini Certified Educators in my social media feeds. This is a good time to think critically about Gemini, how it is developed, and how it could impact (possibly harm) K-12 education. Be careful what you attach your name to. www.criticalinkling.com/p/gemini-cer...

Yet another awful story. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

I have a post up today about generative AI and the NBA 🏀 Sure enough, AI slop is one of the concerns - the Mavericks created a hype video that is textbook AI slop. What happens if students think that AI slop is creativity? www.criticalinkling.com/i/175954521/...

Happy NBA Opening Night! I have some concerns for education after seeing how generative AI has affected the NBA. #GenerativeAI #K12 #EduSky www.criticalinkling.com/p/generative...

Today is Grover's birthday and he is my favorite from Sesame Street. Love his genuine humor and heart. 💙

It is concerning that Governor Newsom vetoed this bill. It is even more concerning that tech companies lobbied so hard against protections for children. #GenerativeAI #EduSky www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

The only one benefitting from tech in schools is the AI industy. More tech means higher rates of anxiety & depression and less learning. Stop companies from sucking the life out of kids. Books, paper, pens, a board, a quiet airy classroom...these work and are much cheaper.

I can't believe the Yankees defeated the Red Sox in a postseason series. Helps me deal with some 2004 trauma just a little bit.

I just watched this video about #EdTech from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social. As someone who has promoted technology in K12 classrooms for years, I have a lot to think about. Teachers: Watch this! #EduSky youtu.be/aByWLQ7h2n0?...

In other news, sky is blue, sea is wet, and anyone who has worked with machine learning has known this all along

this exists it is called thinking

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 170: Words matter. Words are the conduit for ideas. Words can affect the way your readers see the world; how they behave; how they relate to others. Every political movement, every religion, philosophy, war, began with ideas, translated into words. Use them wisely.

I often see "I'm a newly minted Gemini Certified Educator" on social media. Please think long and hard about what you attach your name to. #EduSky

but let's focus on the *potential* benefits...

🧵 The summer of 2025 has been AI's "cruel summer"—wrongful deaths, dangerous therapy chatbots, medical misinformation, facial recognition failures. These aren't isolated glitches but predictable harms from systems deployed without adequate oversight. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I saw someone share that they are a Gemini-certified educator on social media yesterday. What are we doing here? What happened to solidarity? #EduSky #EdTech #genAI www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I have heard people promoting #genAI in P-12 education say that it generates "human-like output with little to no human input." It does not. It needs many exploited humans to function. Acknowledge them. #EduSky www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

In my email from an #AIinEducation proponent this morning. Usually, the fear-based appeals are subtle. He just went for it today. #EduSky

"Visual by David Szauder; Generated using A.I" I am not reading this.

I love this bold piece by @emilymbender.bsky.social. What you say and create is so much better than a mean-generating algorithm. #EduSky "Every act of refusal is especially powerful and meaningful now, and we would do well to avail ourselves of that power as we can." buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...

Something I didn't get to say yesterday: We heard over and over during the event about "human-centered" approaches to "AI". But if refusal is not on the table (at every level: individual students and teachers right up through UNESCO) then we have in fact centered the technology, not the people.

Creating permission structures for AI refusal is an urgent, collective need, especially as its use becomes increasingly mandated by leaders + districts who staked economic, social + political capital on AI "working."

No one taught me more about the myth of American independence than my high school students, who saw with clear eyes the conformity of most of the adults in their towns. This, despite years of reading literature and history that fostered that myth, a myth I held onto far too long.

School districts need to create policies protecting students and teachers who refuse to use generative AI. Teachers unions need to lead the charge. #EduSky refusinggenai.wordpress.com/2025/08/29/a...

Social Studies teachers have to be more vigilant than ever vetting videos from YouTube for students. #EduSky
