To all my friends who are #teachers and #educators: be aware that the U.S. Department of #Education now has an online form that any Joe Blow can submit, where people can report you for so-called "divisive ideologies," "indoctrination," and "illegal discriminatory practices." The URL makes it clear what they mean by those terms: https://enddei.ed.gov/ . Whether you choose to alter your pedagogy or not based on the existence of this $h!t is up to you, but I wanted you to know about it.
Of the group of would-be teachers who watched the news from Columbine that day in April 1999, I am the only one still teaching.”

Phase 2 :
Many #educators are regretting their #vote for #Trump , citing #job #insecurities and #school #funding #issues...
What did you expect ?
There are ways to work around something like that and with communication you can work something out, and it’s not a huge issue.

Dear #Educators everywhere:
This is a perfect showcase for 'How a chatbot distorts history and does not further any kind of deeper/critical understanding of anything'.
You can use my post, the screenshots, and everything else as you please, you don't have to ask my permission. (See my bio for the CC BY.)
Please talk with your students about this, why it's bad and how we can deal with that as a enlightened society.
Delighted to share an essential #textbook for #students & #educators of Media & #Communication Studies, 'Children, #Media, and #Technology: Access, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion'
Edited by Prof. Erica Scharrer with a fabulous set of authors covering several long-standing as well as contemporary issues & controversies pertaining to media, technology & young people

@emilymbender I feel lucky to have found these terrific #ai critiques obo of #educators here on #mastodon.
Curious to find & consider this category of objections in context of #lawyers & #legalaid facing marketing & lobbying to rapidly adopt commercial #llm products as #legaltech for use with clients --- esp. for #atj #lowincome & #bipoc #communities --- while minimizing #ethics & #equity questions.
#Education is an unkind space, but that can change. We can change.

Whilst #educators are (rightly) freaking out about #OpenAI's #LLM in Ed statement, they are missing all the stuff that #Google (who's already a strong beachhead in #Schools already, thanks to Classroom) is working on to roll out #GenAI in schools. By the backdoor, without opt-in or consultation.
And #Microsoft is not far behind...
Parents, educators, teachers & school administrators.
Does your local public schools teach students about non-violent communication skills & how to de-escalate during conflicts?
Congratulations to the New Books Network for reaching a new milestone: 25,000 interviews! It’s been my pleasure to be interviewed twice, each time to talk about a different book of mine.

NBN works directly with over twenty university presses including Princeton University Press, Oxford University Press, the University of Chicago Press, and the MIT Press. #Books #Bookstodon #Educators #Education #Academics

#Parents & #teachers & #students in #Canada - please be aware that the #AI industry definitely has #PublicEducation on its #capitalist exploitation radars. Watch out for more of our governments, on all levels, to try & replace human teachers / #educators with AI. It's already happening in Quebec. Barely anyone in BC seems aware of the risks of AI being used as digital replacement for human educators.
