Students want guidance on ethical AI use - and they want it surfaced in classrooms rather than hidden. What better way than to analyze our chats together? mikekentz.substack.com/p/stop-skimm...

Last month I sat in on the University of Baltimore 2025 #AISummit. Four weeks later the themes still ring loud—AI’s workforce impact, classroom realities, and who’s really steering the puck. 1/3 🧵

The most successful use case I found for putting AI in front of students was to ask them to “spar” with AI — rather than brainstorm, learn, or speed up productivity. Chatting with a character bot? Be an investigative journalist. @leonfurze.com #AIEdu #EduAI mikekentz.substack.com/p/from-think...

Gotta imagine this is happening everywhere right now

Delighted to announce CBI Research Fellow (& close friend & collaborator) Prof. Gerardo Con Díaz's (Con's) stellar new book is out (got to read it early & blurb it). Everyone Breaks These Laws: How Copyright Made the Online World. Congrats Con! #histtech yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Tip of the iceberg indeed. Could this require a return to an oral tradition? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I feel bad for all the #ASMR folks on YouTube. #AI is coming for them next. AI ASMR accounts are racking up huge numbers on #Tiktok. This one launched one week ago and already has thousands of followers: www.tiktok.com/@impossiblea...

New research raises red flags about long-term #LLM use (and confirms what most educators already knew)... A 206-page study out of Boston tracked student writing across three modes: 1. ChatGPT 2. Google 3. Brain-only #cognition #AIinEducation #EduAI #AIinEdu #EduSky arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

"You have to force AI to force YOU to be more human." - Ken Liu This is the crux of AI's role in all creative and learning work. We need to teach young people how to do this. That is #AILiteracy. That is #AIFluency. Link in the next comment. #EduAI #AIinEducation #AIinEdu #AIforCreativity

#AI is a metacognition tool, not a fact vending machine.

Let me clarify something for the #AIinEducation crowd: When I brought AI into my High School English classroom, it was NOT because I believed AI would further educational goals. It was because I felt a pressing need to give my students AI Literacy - in the best way that I could. 🧵 #AIinEdu

AI Boundary-Setting: An Important Tactic and Strategy to Pass on to Our Students In human relationships, we often have to set boundaries to make sure interactions and communication are healthy. AI is the same, in my opinion. 1/many mikekentz.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

Your #AI isn't neutral. Every time ChatGPT eagerly suggests "next steps" or Claude quietly waits for your lead, you're experiencing deliberate philosophical choices about human autonomy embedded in code. Choosing your "cafe companion" is crucial. LINK: shorturl.at/rBy2R #AIinEducation #EduAI

1/ A lot of talk about "preparing students for AI," but most of it assumes the world will adapt slowly. The Microsoft 2025 Work Trend Index suggests otherwise. Workplaces are already shifting toward AI agents running workflows with minimal human intervention. #AIinEducation #EduAI #EduSky

A fascinating concept WRT writing literature in the age of AI!

We’re not in the driver’s seat—we’re the narrator, telling a story after the decisions are made. In a brilliant guest post, Michael Wagner explores how both humans and AI construct post-hoc explanations—and what that reveals about reasoning and teaching in the age of LLMs. 1/2 tinyurl.com/nh3hdcf9

Just learned about a new ai grading tool that scores student essays based entirely on emoji use 🔥 = strong argument 🥺 = emotional nuance 💀 = fails the vibe check no rubric, just resonance they’re calling it “vibraGrade” and honestly i think we deserve this mikekentz.substack.com/p/new-ai-too...

On the next Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000, @mmitchell.bsky.social joins me & @alexhanna.bsky.social to talk about “AI” “agents” -- what that means, what the salesmen want you to think it means, and what to actually be concerned about. Catch the livestream here: Mon 3/31, noon Pacific
