Big weekend in Vietnam for SSIS Conference. Great catching up with old "internet friends" and making some new friends. Same time next year!

"Cross-curricular learning" is one of the most over-promised ideas in education. We stick a coding lesson next to a math lesson and call it integration. The Transfer Illusion (Kirschner, Hendrick & Heal) is exactly this ... assuming students will spot the bridge between two domains just because we put them in the same room. They won't. Not without us. In my Geometry Playground, my students write Swift code that draws polygons. The turn angle in the code is the exterior angle of the shape. Same idea, two languages. But that connection is invisible until I stand at the front and model it - narrating my thinking, drawing the link out loud, showing where one becomes the other. Transfer isn't a hope. It's a teaching move - dbbudd.github.io/ The "cross curricular" label is cheap. The modelling that makes it real is not. #Pedagogy #Mathematics #ComputerScience @XpatEducator @dylanwiliam

Yes, just having students “use AI to study” hurts learning (a helpful assistant is not a tutor), but using AI prompted to act like a tutor, especially with teacher support, seems to have large positive effects on learning in randomized trials. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Students who used AI to study remembered less than those who did not.

Hey, I'm open-sourcing Clicky. Go forth into the wild and build the future of education and the future of AI interfaces, my friends. I'm happy to have given a spark. Enjoy! github.com/farzaa/clicky
I built this thing called Clicky. It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor. It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you. I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10.

My 7-year-old daughter and I built a @Roblox game together using @claudeai as our coding partner. She designed it, we prompted it, and Fruit Towers came to life. Made by kids, for kids - under our new indie studio Pixel Paws Studios. Come play! roblox.com/games/88464306801…

I built a new plugin! You can now trigger Codex from Claude Code! Use the Codex plugin for Claude Code to delegate tasks to Codex or have Codex review your changes using your ChatGPT subscription. Start by installing the plugin: github.com/openai/codex-plug…

My SwiftUI agent skill has now passed 1,000 GitHub stars in just two days – I appreciate you all so much! 🙇‍♂️ So many people have replied to say it has already helped Codex, Claude Code, and other agents find and fix problems in just a few minutes. github.com/twostraws/swiftui…

This is wild 🤯 My 5-year-old just built his FIRST GAME ever with Codex using only dictation mode. He wanted a game where you type in a word and transform into any character you want to be ✨ so he dictated it to Codex. Then he upgraded it to a game where that character jumps and collects coins. Hello World to the youngest AI engineer ever❤️‍🔥 @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs Codex needs an interactive voice mode ASAP

Did Apple just kill every iOS vibe coding app? Apple just dropped Xcode 26.3 with agentic coding. Claude Code Codex are now built into Xcode. And with MCP support.
Xcode 26.3 with Claude Agent & Codex hits the Mac App Store today! With advanced reasoning capabilities in Xcode, you can streamline workflows and build faster. And MCP support lets you easily connect other compatible agents.

🧩 WORKED EXAMPLES! In this week’s edition of ⚗️DistillED, I unpack what worked examples are, why they reduce cognitive load, and how they help students move from watching expert thinking to applying it independently in the classroom. Have a read: newsletter.jamieleeclark.com…

Thoughtful session by @danielbbudd Great Qs: -How does the implementation of AI reflect our values? -What does MTSS look like with AI? -How to apply AI tools to purposefully enhance teaching/student metacognition? -How might we incorporate AI into existing policies? #FOLHK
