Update: we're collecting surveys until April 12. I'm collaborating w/ @alliethrall.bsky.social and Tony Talbert to explore why and how caregivers challenge ed-tech in their child's/children's K-12 school/s in the US. Caregivers doing this work can complete our survey at tinyurl.com/CaregiversEd...

Strong recommendation to teaching faculty to just say no to this stuff, even if you are AI curious/enthusiastic. This is meant to reduce faculty autonomy and capture human labor with automation. You're selling out your future self and the profession as a whole. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

“This is not about rejecting technology. It is about rejecting the idea that we have no choice but to fund a company that’s bankrolling authoritarianism”

The main difference between an educator and a columnist who dabbles in education writing is that the educator looks at exam scores as useful but really quite tentative, context-specific data points, while the columnist thinks they're looking at standings in a sports league

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

These kids should be going to school. Playing with their friends. Eating dinner with their families. Detaining them is cruel and inhumane.

Oooh, look what I just found in the new @tcpress.bsky.social catalog! A lot has happened in the field of literacy research and teaching in the 10 years since my first edition. So excited to get this second edition out!

"Anthropomorphizing AI gives people the wrong idea about what these systems actually are. And that has consequences. When we begin to assign consciousness and emotional intelligence to an entity where none exists, we start trusting AI in ways it was never meant to be trusted."

An extended cri de coeur about how public universities just "clicked Accept"; they've "drifted from their democratic mission" by uncritically incorporating AI, effectively reducing education to a "franchise of a global tech empire": tinyurl.com/2bnu668h

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

What's striking isn't the growing number of studies finding negative effects from using AI - in this case, to have it summarize research for you (vs. searching individual sources yourself) - but the kneejerk tendency of those reporting them to ask how best to use AI (vs. whether we need it at all).

The hed now reads "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace" and the dek reads "And if so, can conservative feminism fix it?" ✌🏾Conservative feminism✌🏾 is an oxymoron.

Kudos to these authors for framing their scoping review of #GenAI effects across individual, community, and system levels. There's not a lot of high-quality GenAI x misinformation research out there, but this review identifies promising future research directions. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Inevitability of hallucination ?

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.” The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

"The white Christian perpetrator always retains his humanity. Even after committing heinous acts of violence, we see these white Christians depicted as human beings, not terrorist 'others.' The media describes their childhood and shows us their graduation photos, not their mug shots...."

Killing people we disagree with is wrong in every way, whether it’s Melissa Hortman or Charlie Kirk. This is especially true in a country awash with guns and run by fascists looking to amplify their already militarized policies. No thoughts and prayers. Down with fascism and up with gun control.

🧐 Hmmm which book to read first? #BookSky #Technofeudalism #Bloodinthemachine #Teachingmachines

YES. @bcmerchant.bsky.social features @olivia.science and co-authors' new paper: "an excellent resource for educators, administrators, and anyone concerned about AI...And it’s a fine arrow in the quiver for those educators already eager to stand up to AI-happy administrations or department heads."

Will Bunch on Trump's DC takeover as a prelude to dictatorship Republicans in Congress handed Trump a fortune to build up ICE, but in reality, he is creating his own personal army. He can't legally put the National Guard in blue cities, but he can put ICE there under false pretenses.
