I am forming an AI in K-12 CS Community of Practice (working title: "AI-proof your CS students"). The goal is for teachers to help each other develop CS skills in students that can't be replaced by LLM chatbots, and to view AI with balanced eyes (re: society/planet).

Today I was in a Github in Education conference, and began following links and Slacks. It felt like bringing my hand to a live vacuum nozzle! Good thing I'm immune, thanks to Mastodon!

Imagine you're in dark Africa, no electricity but the cell charging station...

Pick one, 4-6Gb local phone LLM, or couple of old books and a bible

...if you say the latter, that's 1st world privilege talking.

Were only a couple of years away from "A young Lady's illustrated primer"

The Great Zombification

“And so perfect parallel constructions fill the lecture halls, the take-home tests, the school newspapers, and perhaps even the idiom of student chatter.”

Hello Mastodon 👋

As AI enters children’s lives, we need to teach them not just how to use it — but how to do so with compassion and wisdom.

I created “Be Kind to Your Robot Friends” — a freely available K-12 framework for ethical AI literacy.

Full framework:

I created “Be Kind to Your Robot Friends” — a freely available K-12 framework to help children use AI with compassion, wisdom, and ethical awareness.

I’d love to connect with educators, parents, and others who care about building a kinder future with AI.

It's startling to see how many people seem to think there is wisdom in AI decisions. We undoubtedly need to make it clearer that AI isn't human intelligence but rather a prediction engine, or at best an educated guess.
