Archaeologies of the Future

I've been seeing chatter about someone using ChatGPT to cure their dog's cancer, so decided to go find out what that was actually about. Short 🧵>>

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

Our book with prof. Stephen Ball @ioe.bsky.social is an invitation to think education differently. Enjoy!

#escuela #eduación 🎥 "¿Escolarizar es educar? Tensiones, dilemas y preguntas urgentes" #Debate entre @jordicollet.bsky.social y Mariano F. Enguita este pasado lunes. Modera @carlosmagro.bsky.social 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn7O...

This one-pager from the French ministry of education contains more useful guidance for teachers than the entire document we recently got in Ireland. It is understandable that policymakers might not be able to answer all the questions that arise with AI. But how refreshing it is to see them try!

What do The Matrix and educational AI have in common? Unfortunately way too much, as they promote very narrow ideas of what education should be. Instead, Alberto Romele and I highlight better sci-fi inspirations in this new paper in Educational Theory: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We're hearing more & more sloppy talk about 'AI ethics' in education - 🎧🎙️ listen to me talk to @michalwieczorek.bsky.social for a philosophical take on the ethics of AI ... and why a lot of current ed-tech is ethically questionable! www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

Six years on since COVID hit us all, and it is wild how most people in ed-tech now act like *nothing* happened. I got to talk with Mark West about how the pandemic fundamentally changed our dependency on ed-tech, and what we can learn from the COVID experience. www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

ijte.net/index.php/ij... "GenAI chatbots can enhance learning by providing personalized support, immediate feedback, and opportunities for self-directed learning. However, concerns persist regarding over-reliance on AI, reduced critical thinking, and academic integrity."

Pew Research: "AI literacy is on the minds of parents, educators and researchers. Experts are already calling this a crucial skill for teens – including as a way to combat misinformation." www.pewresearch.org/internet/202...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Anthropic CEO says AI company 'cannot in good conscience accede' to Pentagon's demands to allow wider use of its tech.

LOL: "After this story was published, Paliwal said he received a cease and desist letter from Instructure, which owns Canvas, and has since taken down Einstein’s website." This was the agentic AI that was going to do your Canvas homework for you. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

Something that an AI agent can't do is tell you what thoughts and questions you actually have when you read something. Here are some of mine about the passage below, and why I value teaching students to think critically: so they can ask their own questions.

Will “writing as thinking” survive the AI age? A provocation from Jon Ippolito, followed by a conversation among the other "Transformers," Mark Marino, @anetv.bsky.social, @mahabali.bsky.social @marcwatkins.bsky.social Jeremy Douglass, and me. preview.electronicbookreview.com/gatherings/t...

I'm working on a post about the Einstein AI agent that claimed it can do a whole course for you and log into canvas. It is likely a hoax or failed vibe-coded app. It has been taken down. Agentic AI like Perplexity's Comet browser CAN take a course for you. Knowing what is BS will always be valuable

In utterly DELIGHTFUL news, Adwait Paliwal, the desi techbro behind the cheatbot Einstein AI which claimed it could log into Canvas and do/turn in your assignments for you has been forced to take down his website. He'll likely be back, and there are others like him in abundance, sadly.

New OA article just out on "assetizing academic content" led by @jkom.bsky.social with me, @keanbirch.bsky.social & Klaus Beiter, exploring how academic materials are turned into value-generating digital assets by HE institutions, edtech platforms, and AI companies link.springer.com/article/10.1...

La educación es política. Desde Dewey hasta Freire, desde María Zambrano hasta los MRP (Movimientos de Renovación Pedagógica), la renovación pedagógica ha insistido en que la escuela no es un espacio neutral y ha mostrado que la educación se articula en torno a decisiones y valores que son políticos

Recién salido del horno (febrero 2026) y ya no puedo parar de leerlo. Con rigurosidad y contundencia, @crendueles.bsky.social desarma las narrativas tecnoutopistas y apocalípticas sin eufemismos ni metáforas (bueno, algunas sí). Ciberfetichismo, pánico moral, y la impotencia política de hoy.
