Even when used intentionally as thinking supports, are AI tools doing more harm than good in our classrooms?

"Courage is contagious.

To scale daring leadership and build courage in teams and organizations, we have to cultivate a culture in which brave work, tough conversations, and whole hearts are the expectation, and armor is not necessary or rewarded."

This.

If you need work email on your phone fine (I did for memory reasons) but you don’t need notifications on. You control when you look at it rather than let it be a shouty demanding toddler.

If you're still receiving notifications on your phone for every incoming email, you need to stop that insanity immediately.

Education podcasting friends: which AI tools do you use to create helpful, concise, user-friendly summaries of your podcast episodes?

And if you're willing to share your prompt, I'd be grateful.

Thanks! - Tim

I really wish there was a column in teacher observation forms for "were students smiling and laughing?" because, at the end of the day, that might matter the most

Sure, but I mean it would be great if as a teacher you could select a drop-down beside each student to signal their progress status.
