Practical classroom suggestions from @danikachorskyphd.bsky.social over at @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social. If you want students' authentic voices, ask them to record it! #EduSky #AIEdu

Looking for an alternative to a 5-paragraph essay? Try podcasting 🎙️. Even with AI prep, this promotes authentic student voice and demonstration of understanding. New post on how we do this in the classroom: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/podcasting... #AIEdu #EduSky

A good take on using AI as a productivity partner, but avoiding it when it comes to building human connections. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation

Feeling behind on AI news? 2 podcast episodes helped me catch up—and reminded me why mindset is as important as keeping pace. "What CAN it do?" vs "What CAN'T it do?" matters more than you think. 🆕 New post on growth mindset + AI: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/ai-updates... #EduSky #AIEdu

A core belief: AI integration should start with asking why, not what or how. A short thread about purpose and mission 🧵 #AIEdu #AIinEducation #EduSky

Is your educational mission guiding AI use? If not, you’re implementing technology for technology’s sake—and that’s a misguided recipe that serves neither students nor teachers. ➡️ New Post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/ai-integra... #AIEdu #EduSky #AIinEducation

"Generative AI just demonstrates that schools have gotten so caught up in the points-grades-GPA game that students have lost sight of the real goal: learning." ➡️ Is AI the biggest problem, or is it that kids see grades as their goal rather than learning? #EduSKy #AiEDU edut.to/4sionKO

I showed this to my high school class today. Most got them right, but not all students got all of them right. That is good data and emphasizes a pressing need for AI literacy. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation www.npr.org/2025/11/30/n...

I like the transparency statements as an ally via upfront accountability to combat cheating suspicions & align ethically w/AI adoption.

Teaching writing in the age of AI? You don’t have to choose between authenticity and AI. You can still teach students to think critically. 👀 We recommend transparency statements as a way to teach writing with AI, not around it. #AIEdu #EduSky 🔗 mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/why-i-use-...

Excited to share my most recent reflections on using AI in educational settings. I've been experimenting with ways to use AI to differentiate instruction and provide supports for students with disabilities. But, all of this stuff works great for everyone! #mindfulai #aiedu #edusky

Check out some of the great work @danikachorskyphd.bsky.social and @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social are doing with AI to reach all learners where they are at. If you're not sure where to start with differentiation, here it is. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation #UDL

If you teach writing, consider adding AI transparency statements into the process. Students certify how (or if) they used AI. This builds spaces where students learn to own their choices and reflect on their processes. #EduSky #AIEdu Details here ▶️ mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/why-i-use-...

🎬 What I learned from Veo 3: directing AI video feels a lot like real filmmaking—intentional, detailed, and sometimes unpredictable. Details, process and full prompts here: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/putting-go... #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation #Veo3

I put Google's Veo 3 to the test. It did not disappoint. My video and a behind-the-scenes post on how I made it and what I learned about this potentially game-changing tool are below. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation

Creating an introduction video for a high school AI course was a fitting way to experiment with Google's Veo 3. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation youtu.be/ZbrqGk7eQ9Q

Jesus, Moses, and David all got an iPhone. That’s not the start of a joke. It’s what I saw in my social media feeds this summer, thanks to AI. There are big potential impacts for schools. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/the-gospel...

AI studies are always interesting. But this makes it seem like AI is only useful if it saves time, and that with AI you can't maintain human connection with students. What is clear: Teachers need support to use AI well. #AIinEducation #AISky #EduSky www.the74million.org/article/what...

Instead of asking “how can we keep kids from using AI?” it is time to shift our pedagogy. One approach is to try podcasts as a way for students to more authentically demonstrate understanding. #EduSky #AIEdu ▶️ Dig into why: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/writing-is... 🧵

Have you seen the viral Biblical influencers and Bigfoot and Yeti videos on Instagram 👀? Made with AI. Polished. Persuasive. Funny. The implications are huge. AI literacy isn’t a “future skill.” It’s a right now skill. #EduSky #AIEdu New post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/the-gospel...

Is the 5-paragraph essay about to retire? Teachers' choice is no longer "AI or no AI." Pedagogy must change to account for ever-present AI tools. Multimedia projects like podcasts could be a new best practice 🎙️. #EduSky #AIEdu ▶️ New post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/writing-is...

Tired of cobbling together exam questions from publisher banks and archive folders? There's a better way to dial in test questions. We have a new post over at @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social #AISky #AIEdu #EduSky

Too many test banks are written for someone else’s students. Too little time to rewrite everything. This teacher found a better way to create tests with AI that actually fit his students. Not too hard. Not too easy. Just right. 🆕 New post: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/not-too-ha...

New machine learning study finds data from just 2 to 5 hours of activity with an intelligent tutor or learning game can yield valuable insight about how students will perform in standard external assessments several months later. #EduSky #AISky #AIEdu stanford.io/45lRsfh

bsky.app/profile/mind... This is interesting to me, and we know that AI will change education but at what cost? #EDLT6616 #Education

AI is a "a disruptive technology that arrived simultaneously in every classroom, with capabilities that apply to virtually every assignment, and infrastructure already in place for immediate use." A good luck at what's different with AI from regular ed tech. #EduSky #AISky #AIEdu

We love CommonSense.org's work. If you are looking to build AI guidelines, there's a lot to mine here. "Without a clear, structured plan, AI integration can become fragmented, inequitable, and even misaligned with your district's priorities." #EduSky #AIEdu www.commonsense.org/education/AI...

You could do a find/replace of "Google" and "Cellphone" for "AI" and this 2006 article would still be relevant in 2025. "No, the problem is not cheating. The problem is firmly one of instructional and evaluation technique." #EduSky #AIEdu

Have “pre-organized” prompt material that students copy and paste into the AI and then have them enter their questions or information after it, to shape the bot’s role and provide more structure for generated results.

This open prompt library that @annamillsoer.bsky.social shared from MyEssayFeedback.ai is a gold mine! Teachers, do you have a go-to AI prompt library 📚? #EduSky #AIEdu

If using a chatbot, upload key documents to have the chatbot primed to be asked Qs by students.

I like that idea... and maybe the "character" is even programmed to remind them that it is an AI simulation and might get things wrong...
