When tech answers effortlessly, students offload cognition. The work looks complete. The learning never happens.

✅ The best assessment question is: “How did you arrive there?”

AI simply exposed an education system already optimised for correct answers, not durable understanding.

Tens of thousands of people eagerly downloaded the leaked Claude Code source code this week, and hundreds - if not more - of those downloads came with a side of credential-stealing malware.

A codebase full of dead code. Humans learned to navigate the clutter. AI agents can't do that. If a file exists, they treat it as live. If docs say something, they believe it. Agents don't have a tolerance problem. The codebase has a clutter problem.

🚨 Eye-opening research on AI in education by @LSEnews A comprehensive audit of 5 major GenAI tools used in schools. The findings? Deeply concerning. 🔗 Full report: eprints.lse.ac.uk/129459/ #EduChat #EdTech #Education

At that stage of learning, though it absolutely stunts their ability to develop elite literacy skills.( or even basic ones) - which they will absolutely need in the AI landscape.

The real battle here begins so much earlier. In elementary schools we are trying to teach children to read, and write and think. But the temptation to use AI products or even cut and paste is enormous. It’s so much less effort right? And what 10 year old is going to choose more effort?

"Elite literacy skills will become premium. Critical evaluation means knowing when AI output is shallow, wrong, or biased. Nuanced expression captures complexity that AI flattens into generalities." #EduChat

I normally tell students to always check three sources before making an informed decision. But what if those sources are AI-generated? A new study has just revealed something alarming: 📊 www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025...

Researchers discover something valuable ↓ It gets simplified for mass rollout ↓ It becomes mandated and compliance-focused ↓ Teachers lose autonomy ↓ Form replaces substance ↓ Fatigue sets in ↓ The next "revolution" arrives ↓ And so the wheel turns again. www.urbanteacher.co.uk/lesson-archi...

Online bullying was bad enough… now we have AI bullying. Deepfakes, malicious AI apps, and hyper-realistic impersonation are creating threats schools have never faced before.

We moved from text-based coding → block-based Scratch → now AI-based coding. Like calculators, the tools get smarter, but the real question remains......are we teaching thinking, or just using the tool?

Feels like we’re entering a new phase in #EdTech. Curious: 📥 What’s the most popular EdTech tool you’re using right now? 📥 Have your tools (or teaching habits) shifted because of AI?

AI isn’t just changing how we assess knowledge, it’s changing how we engage with content. The real divide may not be access to AI, but the mindset: Those who use it to refine ideas vs. those who let it replace thinking.

Note: Propaganda or Misinformation is not always loud or obvious. Often, it’s wrapped in half-truths, emotional hooks, or shared by people you follow. Are we really that good at recognising manipulation?

Note: Algorithms don’t care about truth—they care about engagement.

Note: Algorithms love extremes—outrage, fear, blind loyalty.
