Following last night's #edchatie discussion about AI in Irish education, this will all be of interest to teachers here.

"Everyone’s talking about which AI tool to use, but nobody’s talking about why we’re using them in the first place" by Manos Antoninis The Trojan Horse in the classroom: navigating AI’s impact on the International Day of Education #edchatie world-education-blog.org/2025/01/24/t...

We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately. We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice. Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie oecd.ai/en/wonk/how-...

Irene Stone, CS and Maths teacher and EdD student @dcuioe.bsky.social research interests generative AI and programming. Also have big interest in AI in education in general #edchatie

Deeply grateful to receive the John Smith scholarship @dcuioe.bsky.social, an award established to honour the legacy of Dr. John Smith in advancing academic excellence. Thanks to the DCU team, my #EdD colleagues, and my supervisors for their support.

"The amount of AI-generated child abuse images found on the internet is increasing at a chilling rate, according to a national watchdog." These disturbingly realistic images can be generated from real children's images from social media. news-sky-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/news.sky...

Picnic wants to say hello to Blue Sky and also to @number10cat.bsky.social

Had fun with the "intelligent piece of paper" 5th yr CS students. Led to great discussions on algorithms, pseudocode and what intelligence really means thanks to @cs4fn.bsky.social for lesson idea! teachinglondoncomputing.org/resources/in...

Honoured to present "Beyond the Hype: Navigating the AI Seascape" at the ACCS In-School Management Conference A call for critical thinking: don't rush to adopt AI in schools without asking loads of questions!!! Learn about AI before using AI #ethics #edchatie

In the diary! Delighted to hear @donenda.bsky.social and @pt-phone-home.bsky.social giving keynote 👏👏😀 @cesi-ie.bsky.social

I wondered what the maths classroom would be like after 2yr absence! If the hype was true, ChatGPT would change T&L! Well guess what? Not much is different! Human connection, "mess" of maths learning in student copies, asking students to explain their thinking. No AI can replace that! #BeyondTheHype

Any Maths teachers? 😃 I used to love that other platform for getting ideas for the classroom. And posting up those questions from students that sometimes I struggle to answer 🤪 #edchatie

Hi 👋 I'm a post primary Maths & CS teacher, Ireland. Currently doing research in #GenerativeAI & #IntroductoryProgramming. Interested in #human-centered, #ethical approaches to AI in ed & questioning/critiquing the hype surrounding it's use! Looking forward to connecting, sharing, learning 😃
