We just wrapped up our 7th #GenAIforSchools call with @AlexMBraden as co-host, leading a great discussion filled with ideas on how we are helping ourselves and other grow in our understanding of AI in education. Here are some key insights from today's conversation: ๐Ÿ“ AI Assessment Scales ๐Ÿ“ @AmeliaKtech shared she's trialing an AI assessment scale from @lfurze and developing an in-house version. Leon and team have released a new scale! ๐Ÿซ Classroom Practices ๐Ÿซ @NickEdTech mentioned his school is displaying AI-related expectations in classrooms. Teachers are required to label assignments with the degree to which AI can be used. ๐Ÿ“š Reading and Literature ๐Ÿ“š @AmeliaKtech and @aglobalwanderer highly recommend Ethan Mollick's book "Co-Intelligence". amazon.com/Audible-Co-Intellโ€ฆ @TrainTheTeacher recommended "The Mediatrician's Guide" over "Anxious Generation" due to its practical advice for families finding balance with device use and becoming Media Mentors. Check it out amazon.sg/Mediatricians-Guidโ€ฆ @MrAlexEdTech and @aglobalwanderer both recommended โ€œSkill Codeโ€ by Matt Beane about the importance of expert-novice relationships and how AI could potentially disrupt this age-old relationship/practice. amazon.com/Skill-Code-Abilitโ€ฆ ๐ŸŽ“ Upcoming Professional Development ๐ŸŽ“ We discussed some fantastic upcoming PD opportunities: 1๏ธโƒฃ AIFE (aife.community): An AI-themed conference in November at Verso International School in Bangkok. 2๏ธโƒฃ Learning2: (learning2.org)Taking place in November in Shanghai is now offering day-passes, so you donโ€™t have to commit to the full three days! 3๏ธโƒฃ FOEN25 (wab-edu.cn/future) in March at Western Academy of Beijing. Last time they ran this conference, Jane Goodall spoke! #FOEN25 ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Piloting New Tools ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ @TrainTheTeacher talked about the idea of piloting new tools and the wonderful suggestion to call them "Sandboxes" to convey play, exploration, and safety which our really liked! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Conclusion ๐Ÿ‘‹ Our next call is in late October, where we'll explore the idea of AI Heroes and how we can support early adopters and champions in our schools. If you'd like to join the call, message me and I'll add you to the chat, or follow along with our recordings on genaiforschools.com #EdTech #AIinEducation #AIAPAC #AIHeroes #ProfessionalDevelopment #GenAIforSchools @ibrahimlatheef @timmyafelumo @christopherz67
