Alright, there is much #buzz over #AI in #edtech. While I embrace what #LLMs offer, why are so many people going mad over the topic? I mean, I'm not a grandmaster in the #education field (I've been doing it for 15 yrs "only") & am pro #innovation, but what's wrong with using less tech?

Tech should be integrated to a degree & definitely taught about, but beyond that it will mostly get in the way. Effective #teaching has less to do with tech & all to do with #methodology.

Hey, #Edutooters! My friends at Journeys In Film just launched their new free teaching guide for "Unzipped: An Autopsy of American Inequality", an award-winning documentary film about America's affordable housing crisis.

The free Community Learning Guide includes an intro to the film, pre-viewing questions, discussion facilitation guidelines, & more.

Check it out: https://journeysinfilm.org/product/unzipped-an-autopsy-of-american-inequality/

@edutooters

A woman and a man, both people of color, each holding a small child, are silhouetted against the setting sun. At the top, small black text says: “One Zip Code: American’s Unfolding Housing Crisis”, followed by the film title in large white letters: “Unzipped: An Autopsy of America Inequality." It is flanked on both sides by film festival laurels from Newport Beach Film Fest, Twin Cities Film Fest, American Black Film Festival & Ohai Film Festival. On the middle left, text says: “Unzipped is the frontline for America’s housing divide. - Variety.” On the right, “From Award Winning Director Colin K. Gray and Executive Producer Lucy Liu and Music from Run the Jewels,” and “Take Action #RaiseTheRoof www.unzippedmovie.com @UnzippedMovie”.

Dear #edutooters,

I'm at the age where I'm not seen as a peer to a younger audience anymore. I now face a new #challenge when building natural rapport. Instead of "being their pal," I build respect to achieve #trust and a #safespace.

One aspect I've been #contemplating is the "daring" among learners. I see it as a behavioural #spectrum. It promotes natural mischievousness that can obstruct a #process while it's also a key to expression and internalisation. #How do You #approach it?

@edutooter

#goedemorgen #edutooters wakker geworden na de #opensource event in Tilburg. En er achter komend dat #opensource nog veel te winnen heeft. En buitenland echt veel verder is. Duitsland b.v echt gewoon Microsoft eruit heeft gegooid en op #LibreOffice draait.

My friends at Journeys In Film have released a new free discussion guide to help you teach with #Navalny, the Oscar-winning documentary from Daniel Roher which tells the true story of Russian opposition leader #AlexeiNavalny.

The guide explores Russia today, the assassination attempt
against Navalny, #Bellingcat & more. It's designed for use with community groups, classrooms & homeschooling. All the Journeys In Film guides are free.

https://journeysinfilm.org/product/navalny/

@edutooters #Edutooters

In the center, Alexey Navalny stands with his back to the viewer, his face turned to the left, the collar of his dark trench coat turned up, legs apart in a strong stance. At the top, the skyline of the Moscow Kremlin hangs upside-down in an ominous mirror image. The star-capped Vodovzvodnaya Tower points down directly at Navalny’s head. On the left, text says: “A CNN Film. Navalny.”

What are the behaviours that #Teachers should model, but don't?

I'm thinking of, e.g. admitting you don't know, or apologising honestly when you mess up.

Much as we need to project this image of knowledge, confidence, and authority, if this is the persona our students are going to base their adult one on, we are teaching the sociopaths of tomorrow.

I have friends in the education community who will (I hope!) be making the move from Twitter to Mastodon this week.

What are good education-focused instances that are open to new registrations right now?

(Yes, they can default to generalist instances in a pinch, but education instances would be preferable.)

Thank you for your recommendations!

I asked #ChatGPT if using it was cheating. Response: "ChatGPT, an AI language model, is not capable of cheating as it does not have a self-awareness, emotions or motivations. It simply generates answers based on patterns in text it was trained on and produces the most likely response based on that information." #AI #Edutooters @edutooters @rickweinberg
