Until a few months ago, for the vast majority of people, “using AI” meant talking to a chatbot in a back-and-forth conversation. But over the past few months, it has become practical to use AI as an agent: you can assign them to a task and they do them, using tools as appropriate. Because of this change, you have to consider three things when deciding what AI to use: Models, Apps, and Harnesses. Via Nik Peachey

Auditionné devant un grand jury chargé d'arbitrer si les réseaux sociaux encouragent sciemment leurs utilisateurs à une consommation excessive, le patron d'Instagram a estimé que ces usages irraisonnés pouvaient se révéler problématiques, mais ne relevaient pas d'une addiction au sens clinique du terme.

These AI guidelines for teachers, now with checklists, are part of a series of steps designed to address that gap. The British Council is committed to supporting teachers with the skills, tools and resources they need for managing their classrooms and keeping up to date with key developments. These AI guidelines offer principles to help teachers make responsible choices when using AI in teaching or for continuing professional development. While primarily designed for English language teachers, these guidelines may also be useful for other subject teachers in English-medium education. We hope the guidelines are a valuable resource for teachers, empowering them to take an informed, ethical and context-specific approach to integrating AI into their teaching. Via Nik Peachey

One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consistently intensify it: In the study, employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so. That may sound like a win, but it’s not quite so simple. These changes can be unsustainable, leading to workload creep, cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making. The productivity surge enjoyed at the beginning can give way to lower quality work, turnover, and other problems. To correct for this, companies need to adopt an “AI practice,” or a set of norms and standards around AI use that can include intentional pauses, sequencing work, and adding more human grounding.

"In education, authority and credibility are often misaligned. The voices that shape education policy are rarely those of current teachers. Firsthand insights gained from classroom experience take a backseat to the musings of outsiders. Frequently, those farthest from students dictate the narrative, while ever fewer actual teachers influence national discussions about teaching." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"Not long ago, I participated in an exercise that asked educators to define thinking and learning. It was a familiar prompt, one we have returned to countless times over the past decade. This time felt different. The task was to triangulate, even pinpoint, what these concepts mean in today’s educational landscape." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

I rescooped this because it raises an important question about what literacy means in an era when AI can generate polished writing. I wanted to add a writing specific resource--as writing is a part of literacy learning. The article argues that literacy is not simply handwriting or typing, but the ability to organize ideas, communicate clearly, evaluate information, and maintain control of the thinking process. I was especially interested in the connection among traditional literacy, AI literacy, and information literacy as skills students now need together. For educators, this reinforces the need to teach students how to use AI as a support for thinking while still requiring them to evaluate sources, verify claims, and remain responsible for the meaning they create.

This article aims to set out the parameters faced by educators in the light of the rapid development of AI programmes. There are also the philosophical challenges that we face which is a major subject for further discussion. The thesis, that to counter or balance the impact of AI we must improve our education system and modernise it to prepare our students for a rapidly changing world.

A position-based approach notes that what we learn and how we learn it vary by role, experience level, environment, and context.
"By mapping learning to those workflows, we are able to create microlearning that is intuitive and of immediate value."
"What was once a final checkpoint is becoming a continuous learning engine, as AI enables education platforms to apply proven cognitive science principles–retrieval, spacing, and formative feedback–at scale."
