A final thank you extended to Heather Willms for taking us through research and practice in Bridging the Gap via @lfontario’s two part learning session. What a good 90 mins of learning!

Reviewing the importance of vocabulary with Heather Willms and @lfontario. A shout out to an educator whose classroom I visited today and there was an amazing vocabulary lesson with student engagement and frequent responses! Vocabulary matters!

A long day of work and a pile of email is nary a thought with the start of a focussed, enthusiastic conversation in our first break out room at Bridging the Gap with Heather Willms and @lfontario. Such a good discussion! @georgejaneteas

Bridging the Reading Gap by Heather Willms begins with the important research on how students learn to read. Again, setting context for how we work guided by research and how we must be aware of research and guided by it. @lfontario

Opening context included WHO we teach - the learners in front of us with unique needs that must be considered. Heather Willms reminded us of the influences on the students and the role educators can take in responding to literacy needs @lfontario #literacy #bridgingthereadinggap

A quick gratitude thought as I reflect on working with “informed teachers” and agreeing with Heather Willms’ opening statements referencing @LouisaMoats @lfontario #lifelonglearning #literacy

The learning has started with Heather Willms and @lfontario. Educators in BC and Ontario joined via @Zoom to learn and lead together. #lifelonglearning #literacy

"AI biases can be subtle, remind yourself of this and remain diligent in checking your results. One word difference can influence the output." @lfontario #AI #AIeducators

"...none of us will get it right the first time, remember interacting with AI is a conversation not a Google search." There are prompt helpers and then you review the results and use critical thinking skills to refine until it's right for your needs. @lfontario #AI #AIeducators

Bookmarking this article from @guardian to read after the conference... The panelists' brief overview has me thinking 🧐! theguardian.com/technology/2… @lfontario

‘There is no standard’: investigation finds AI algorithms objectify women’s bodies

Guardian exclusive: AI tools rate photos of women as more sexually suggestive than those of men, especially if nipples, pregnant bellies or exercise is involved

Experimenting with AI tools can also help educators be critical thinkers. Given that the outputs differ by tool that can be useful to the educator in developing their own efficacy in use of artificial intelligence. @lfontario #AI #AIeducation

"Educators as evaluators of AI tools, we can't forget our role in vetting the output." We don't need to be afraid of trying various AI sites for different purposes, but remember the best tool for the purpose and goal. @lfontario #AI #AIeducation

"Be mindful of the purpose and audience and the model's training that has been used to create the overlay in the AI tool you select. Has it be been purposeful and thoughtful (ie: is it Canadian, pedagogically focused, curriculum relevant?)?" @lfontario #AI #AIeductors
