AI Isn't Killing Education Personal Perspective: AI doesn’t crush education, it reveals how brittle its rituals have become.

“What AI actually breaks is a Pavlovian model of education that has dominated for more than a century. The bell, the assignment, the paper, the grade, the credential—each step designed to translate effort into a visible signal.” #EduSky #AIEdu www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...

On brainrot: “… something fundamental broke in how human beings process information, form beliefs, and engage with reality. We became a global fragmentation of doom scrolling, context-lacking, uncurious, blindly accepting, regurgitating masses.” flip.it/VlATKV

My Students Use AI. So What? Young people are reading less and relying on bots, but there are other ways to teach people how to think.

“It seems wrongheaded to feel wistful for a time when students had far less information at their fingertips. And who can blame them for letting AI do much of the work that they are likely to let AI do anyway when they enter the real world?” #AIEdu #EduSky www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Critical Thinking Explained Introducing some key challenges and solutions in teaching critical thinking

The first in a series. I actually like this one:
“Critical thinking is the art of analysing and evaluating thinking with a view to improving it.” Paul, R., & Elder, L. (2002) #EduSky #philosophy #criticalthinking #education

What is critical thinking? After thinking critically about this for around 20 years, the simple answer is “Evaluating with curiosity”.

There’s a quiet crisis in our schools At the heart of every successful school is a thoughtfully designed educational journey, supported by a respectful partnership between school and home

“An essential part of any educational journey is the gradual development of self-competence, an independent work ethic, personal discipline and accountability. These are not innate traits, but learned habits; muscles strengthened through consistent effort…” mg.co.za/thought-lead... #EduSky

Confused? I hope so. I’ve been spending time in lessons this week – just dropping in and out of classes for a few minutes. It’s good to see what’s happening in the various areas, to talk to students about how they are fin...

A little confusion can prompt students to think harder and improve their understanding of complex matters, even if it’s a bit uncomfortable for them. #EduSky #Teaching #Learning
