Q: How do you justify taking that risk of alienating the United States [by recognizing Palestine] when we still don't have a trade deal? CARNEY: Canada has values and Canada sticks by those values. We have an independent foreign policy, we make decisions that are consistent with our values.

United States academic landscape got you down? Apply to join my lab at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada! I’m planning to accept a graduate student in Clinical Psychology. Additional information: https://www.uregina.ca/academics/programs/arts/master-phd-clinical-psychology.html

Absolute Superman #2 Kal fighting for thought in the face of ‘all knowing’ GenAI. Krypton certainly can’t be doomed if it’s not already written. /s

AI is encroaching on young children. Scientists must speak out and policy makers have to listen so that we do not derail the human to human interaction key to developing little brains. www.brookings.edu/articles/pol...

Sound plan.

Everyone in Canada should sign this.

This AI-marking policy is kafkaesque Tells prof to save time by A) summarize each of 100 essays to protect student privacy then B) input summaries & rubric into LLM for feedback, C) carefully review and edit feedback. No timed saved! Worse feedback! Did they use an LLM to write this?

🚀 Exciting news: I’m accepting new graduate students in the McGill Faculty of Education Learning Sciences! If you’re passionate about educational technology, games, AI, and learning sciences, this is your chance to join a dynamic and interdisciplinary research program.

Psychologists, apply! Apparently we've mainly gotten CS applicants so far. I'd (selfishly) love to have a psychologist. Interests in AI in relation to e.g., implicit bias; cultural influences; fairness; perception; learning & memory; decision making etc. would be a good fit!

I am recruiting (Canadian🇨🇦) graduate students at York University for Fall 2026 in Social and Personality Psychology! If you are interested in misinformation, political polarization, and/or computational social science, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Universities run on highly skilled non-academic office staff (admin, finance, student affairs). Women predominate these jobs, in my experience. Universities must address how back to office mandates differentially, adversely affect these workers or they will leave. Bad job markets end.

They are not alone. The Quebec government used LLMs to edit their recent report and to generate summaries of articles they used to write it. AI governance written by AI.

Great piece on AI and cheating in education. Uses data and not anecdotes to give a fuller picture. Glad this is out there.

I wrote a new piece for Vox on AI and cheating that has some new data from the past school year mentioned. www.vox.com/technology/4...

Such a pleasure to work with @boldinsights.bsky.social to put this piece together. Always happy to discuss the role of spatial thinking in STEM learning and beyond

Oh. God. No. apple.news/ApCCACK-TQzK...

What the hell! This gov’t gets committees to issue in-depth reports on a topic then ignores them to enact their political will. Participation on these committees should be abandoned by all academics. Your good work will only be used as cover. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

realistic Star Trek

Charter school is replacing teachers with AI. This will fail. Their ‘vision’ for education is right out of TV show Silicon Valley. Educators wont teach but are brand consultants running 50 startups. Startups = students??? Qualifications = 1000+ followers on social media.

Typing vs hand writing? I like this study, as the age range and causal explanations for the effect make sense. A) YOUNG readers learn letters best when writing vs. typing b) BECAUSE proprioceptive feedback informs letter shapes.

Been doing interviews about AI in higher education past few days. Arguing that governments and admin incorrectly assume AI will lead to efficiency, if used correctly. But, recent MIT report shows incorporating GenAI into businesses fails 95% of the time. futurism.com/ai-agents-fa...

I honestly can’t imagine why someone would do this in the first place.

This is WILD and bad.

My books and articles are in this database. You?

South Korea was a "pioneer" in using AI in education. So how's that going? Only 30% of schools used govt-mandated AI "textbooks." Parents and academics pushed back hard, and the laws were repealed. AI in education is not inevitable, it is a choice. www.freiheit.org/north-and-so...

Peer review conundrum. Publish paper in top journal. Got good reviews and even enthusiasm from action editor. Submit follow-up study, to same journal, in the same month that accepted article is published. Desk rejection. No reason provided. Oh peer review

Parents want apps that can help their kids learn, but our new article in Computers & Education shows parents choose apps with positive ⭐ ratings, even if they are missing key educational features! How can we help parents find apps that are actually educational? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New study in Computers & Education! When choosing educational apps, parents overwhelmingly pick what looks popular (5⭐) over what’s actually educational. The bandwagon effect is alive and well in the App Store. Here’s what we found 👇 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

🚨New article🚨 in Computers & Education We created and validated a measure of how teachers scaffold game-based learning. Turns out, teachers are great at cheering students on and keeping them on task—but need more support/resources to guide deeper thinking during games. Full study link below.

Study shows Canadians don’t trust AI. CEO says this is holding us back. No it is not, GenAI is not trustworthy. Canadians have it right 🇨🇦 Just another tech guy saying people are the problem. kpmg.com/ca/en/home/m...

Using machine learning (lasso) we found that human coding of self- and socially-shared regulation strategies predicted medical residents electrodermal activation (EDA) during a medical simulation. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This is bullshit.

The minister should resign. They literally copied USA book ban lists from groups who banned books for simply containing gay characters. A minister of education that does not trust trained librarians or even think for himself. . . apple.news/A6gCfwEFcTXi...

Coders think they are 20% faster with LLMs and are really 19% slower. I like the judgements of performance/efficiency measure this RCT uses and just how poorly calibrated the coders were. 39%!

So Alberta is banning all sexually related content from school libraries (see image) But, the Bible is ok. Have they read the Bible? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is a great initiative and I hope to see other Canadian Universities steal this idea. @mcgill.ca
