"New research from the University of Denver shows that adolescent users of artificial intelligence chatbots prefer technology that uses an intimate tone, such as that of a best friend."
"[I]f we integrate AI thoughtfully — anchored in pedagogy, aligned with course content and designed to promote cognitive effort — we can help students build the skills that will matter most in an AI-integrated world: critical thinking, problem-solving and the ability to verify and challenge AI itself."
Learning in the AI age: Education 5.0 Patrick Blessinger Learning is for human flourishing, but only if we can see flourishing as something more than economic productivity, something more than employability, something more than credentials, though these things are very important.
"[K]nowledge is now universally abundant and available to everyone, but it is fragmented, contested, and increasingly filtered through algorithms.
The aim of learning today should be to move from survival to meaning, from authority to participation, from control to co-creation, from power to rights, and from fragmentation to coherence."
"Much of the conversation around artificial intelligence (AI) is framed in fear. White-collar professionals are increasingly anxious about AI replacing cognitive work once thought untouchable, a concern captured in The Atlantic’s piece on the worst-case future for white-collar workers. Blue-collar workers have their own version of this fear as employers test automation that shows up in the real world as robots and drones doing physical jobs once reserved for people, including delivery and warehouse work, like Amazon’s reported testing of humanoid delivery robots.
The anxiety is real. But what if we are asking the wrong question?"
"Publicly accessible generative artificial intelligence (AI) is predicted to transform how learners construct knowledge and the skills needed for professional success across industries...[T]his article explores learning through dialogue, supporting knowledge construction, leveraging AI tools, and implications for instructional designers and educators."
"In a world where access to information is practically endless, the mark of an expert educator will be the ability and the humility to embrace AI to 1) center learners throughout a learning experience; 2) facilitate knowledge construction with and among AI, learners, and other stakeholders; 3) support learners in applying what they know and identifying what they do not know; and 4) nurture critical thinking and problem-solving skills across all modalities."

In his May 29, 2024 class, Jiang Xueqin explains that an American invasion of Iran would be a catastrophic mistake:
If Trump were to win a second term, he would likely contemplate invading Iran. While an initial invasion would seem successful, American forces would quickly become bogged down in Iran's mountainous terrain.
The American invasion would be similar to Athens' invasion of Sicily in 415 BCE, as described in Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War. Despite its initial successes, the Athenians couldn't re-supply themselves, and their entire expedition was wiped out.
This disastrous defeat turned the war in Sparta's favor, and spelled the downfall of the Athenian empire.
Could the American empire in Iran suffer the same fate as the Athenian empire in Sicily?
"Navigating budget shortfalls and limited mental health staff, Interlachen Jr.-Sr. High School, where Phillips works, is using an AI platform to vet students’ mental health needs."
"The top-tier tools have consistently been super valuable for me—in my teaching, in my job at the City University of New York, and as a dad of two daughters. To save you the time and effort of sifting through the chaff, I’m sharing the ones I find most useful."
More than three years after ChatGPT debuted, AI has become a part of everyday life — and professors and students are still figuring out how or if they should use it.
"More than half of students who used AI for coursework had mixed feelings about it, reporting that it helps them sometimes but can also make them think less deeply."

"The tension between personalized learning demands and standardized evaluation mechanisms presents a persistent challenge in contemporary education. This study proposes a comprehensive personalized education assessment framework driven by generative artificial intelligence technologies. The framework adopts a five-layer hierarchical architecture integrating data collection, processing, intelligent analysis, assessment generation, and feedback optimization components."
"Experimental participants exhibited significantly higher learning gains (Cohen’s d = 0.56), with particularly pronounced effects among initially lower-performing students. The framework also enhanced learner engagement and satisfaction compared to conventional assessment approaches. These findings suggest that generative AI can effectively operationalize personalized assessment at scale while maintaining pedagogical quality and transparency."
"Dealing with students who plagiarize now seems like a piece of cake compared to ones who use AI to write their papers. I could usually deter students from plagiarizing by demonstrating how easy it is for teachers to find it...However, the rise of AI has completely changed that approach."
"Discouraging students from using AI involves a two-prong approach. First, they should see that it won’t help them pass the course. And second, they must realize they are missing opportunities for the teacher to help them actually improve their writing."
"Last Tuesday, I asked Claude to prepare a competitive analysis. Not in a chat window. Not through a prompt. I opened Cowork, pointed it to a folder on my desktop, and said what I needed. It read my files. It cross-referenced data from Slack through a connector. It pulled calendar context. It produced a document — formatted, structured, sourced — and saved it to my working folder. I didn’t open a single application. I didn’t navigate a single menu. I didn’t click through a single interface."
"Cowork reads files on your desktop, modifies documents, creates deliverables, and operates within your working folder — asking for confirmation before significant actions, working autonomously within defined boundaries."
Ce guide, destiné à toute personne en mesure de produire une ressource pédagogique (communauté enseignante, communauté étudiante, services supports, etc.), vise à vous accompagner sur le cycle de vie d’une ressource et de voir, pour chaque étape, comment limiter son impact environnemental, tout en conservant la qualité pédagogique de la ressource et son accessibilité.
"[L]ow-income urban school districts are also feeling the brunt of the E-rate expansion reversal — from both an infrastructure and affordability perspective."

"In graduate school, my experimental archaeology professor told a student to create a door socket—the hole in a door frame that a bolt slides into—in a slab of sandstone by pecking at it with a rounded stone. After a couple of weeks, the student presented his results to the class. “I pecked the sandstone about 10,000 times,” he said, “and then it broke.”
This kind of experience is known as individual learning. It works through trial and error, with lots of each."
