Magnificent work on AI professional development for teachers from MIT's Katerina Bagiati, Claudia Urrea, Ph.D., Sharifa AlGhowinem, and Joe Diaz, along with co-authors Selma Talha Jebril, Maimoona Junjunia, and Reem Al-Sulaiti. www.wise-qatar.org/demystifying...

MIT RAISE partners with Dubai Heights Academy to run hands-on workshops that introduced students in Years 5–10 to emerging technologies: raise.mit.edu/news/how-dub...

If we want to talk seriously about AI and the future of assessment… We need to talk about alternative grading. We need to talk about whether deemphasizing grades through alternative assessment would better serve them, and help preserve classrooms as places of exploration and experimentation.

Can you use gen-AI responsibly, if the tools themselves were built through irresponsible methods? Asking for a friend.

Here’s my worry about process-oriented teaching. I worry that we’ll bring out students’ processes, so that we can measure them and evaluate them (and thus, flatten them out). I worry that we’ll make the same mistake that we made with products, using process-teaching as a way to demand compliance.

I almost always ask my students to self-assess their work before I weigh in. Doing so makes my comments so much better. Because I can ground my comments not only in the final process/product, but in their knowledge of that process/product. —— Image: a photo of the book I’m reading now.

What is OpenAI's Operator, and why do I think it's an important (if incomplete) part of the future of AI and digital technologies more broadly? New blog post: leonfurze.com/2025/02/28/h... #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #EduSky
