'the University wants to prevent itself, along with the entire institution of higher education, from becoming obsolete. But as this pattern speeds up, Penn’s commitment to AI innovation seems less like an enhancement to our learning and more like a detriment to our critical thinking abilities...the University has essentially endorsed shortcuts and the outsourcing of academic thinking, threatening the very freedom of inquiry and open expression it claims to promote'

The Pedagogy of Punishment: How Shame Replaces Support in Under‑Resourced Schools

Solid quote from @loriemerson

'the impacts on teaching and learning are beyond significant; they have the potential to unsettle the entire purpose of higher education'

Open Letter to Students

'I don’t want to talk about the way that the AI industry abuses workers, hordes resources, manipulates markets and elections, controls policymakers, steals from artists, violates civil and human rights laws, colludes with war criminals, exploits poor and vulnerable people, implements mass surveillance, or lies to customers, Congress, its own shareholders and members of the public. If I talk about those things, some of you might still say to yourselves “yeah but that’s capitalism right? That’s nothing new. That’s business. That’s the price of ‘innovation.’”'

I energized my students through a group project -- a lot of laughter today! For our #Romanticism unit, I chose different years and gave them the wikipedia listings of musical events & compositions for each. From that they choose 2 or 3 works & develop a context (biographical, but also social/political/philosophical/aesthetic) & provide at least one art work & one poem or short story that frames the context. The ask: what does "Romantic" show; what does it obscure? #ClassicalMusic #Pedagogy

This hooks masterpiece should be required reading. Not simply, there is nothing objective or neutral about any act of educating. Our active awareness here can only make us better at our craft.

This book is pitched in terms of its prose and complexity at a Sunday Herald-Sun reader but there are 67 pages of citations that substantiate every claim.

The author is a neuroscientist and educator.

I guess the reason I think it worth posting is that it is not exclusively addressing the push (by schools and education departments) to AI in the classroom, it addresses the problematic that electronic technologies integrated into the classroom have yielded few pedagogical benefits and do little more than bed us down as a culture (and a teaching practice) into dependencies we give little thought to.
