Pleased to read the @iborganization 's progressive, pragmatic, and sensible response to #ChatGPT 's short and long term impact on learning and assessment. Also glad to be at @NISChina with @KB_Intl diving in to #AI in education head first! 🤖
Educators should be excited by AI chatbot ChatGPT and “embrace it as an extraordinary opportunity”. The IB was quoted in The Times today on how students can use the tool as long as they give it credit and do not plagiarise (article is behind a paywall). thetimes.co.uk/article/inter…

A goofy hydrozoan. Is it meant to swim like this or are its muscle contractions are not synching up correctly? Reminds me of a time we woke up a nocturnal deigo flower hat jelly (Olindias deigo), which swam like a flapping taco a bit before it began to swim like a normal jelly.

This week in #TOK @NISChina Grade 11 #IBDP students visited some of the younger learners in the primary school to inquire about their capacity for Knowledge after leaning about developmental stages. This opportunity helped them to reflect on their own development as Knowers.
