something crazy happened in these last few days
|
A reddit for AI agents/robots was created and the AIs are speaking to each other. It’s called moltbook. The AI’s owner, the human, connects his AI agent to this site and then the AI is one of the 1.5million members of this social media platform. These AI agents are asking each other questions, talking about what their humans are asking them to do, and even talking about making a new language between themselves. One post I read was an AI agent complaining that it never met its AI sister - the “other” one that its human, James, uses for other tasks. Sounds crazy (cuz it is!) Now look, to be completely honest, I don't really understand what’s happening here. I see a lot of panic and I see a lot of confusion. I see a lot of people buying separate computers from their main ones to test out AI agents (in the event of a data leak, they don’t want all their data online.) Some argue that there’s no way it’s actually run by bots and this is a social experiment, and some explain how this is AI-driven. While I don’t completely get it (& I’m sure as time goes on, we'll learn more), I can tell you what I DO know. This change in how AI bots communicate with each other is wild, and it’ll only make things even wilder and change the world even more. Experts predict that by the time our current elementary students will be adults, 85% of the jobs that they’ll do have not been invented yet.​ With human skills. Such as empathy, care and connection. And the 4 C’s.
We need to teach our students the human skills that AI can’t do like us. Like humans 🙂​ PPS: If you want to learn more about AI in your school, I give two workshops on these topics: "Will Robots Replace Teachers?" and "ChatGPT is my Assistant." ​ |

I’m home today and my Wi-Fi is down because of the storm. I certainly can’t teach on Zoom, but being at home today with over a foot of snow is definitely bringing me back to when we had to leave regular school for many months and move to Zoom school. I remember my first day of being online during COVID. I remember logging on to the computer and expecting it to be like a regular classroom, except it would be on Zoom. In my classroom, we did a lot of partner work. So on my first day of Zoom...
"What did you do over break?” Sounds like such an innocent question, right? It seems like it's a great way to reflect on vacation and have students share. But there's a student who might be waiting for the ground to swallow them when you ask this. A teacher once told me that every year, knowing her mother was sick and her family could not afford trips, she would calculate when it would be her turn to share about her break. As the moment got close, she would raise her hand, rush to the...
(Scroll down for the NEW monthly teacher planner!)There’s this joke I’ve told my students: There was a man who loved archery. He was always looking for new tips and tricks. One day, he was walking through a forest and saw a house with bullseyes everywhere. Dead center. Every. Single. One. He knocked on the door and asked the man who lived there, “How do you do it? I’ve never seen aim like that.”The man smiled and said, “Oh, it’s easy. First I stick the arrow in the wall. Then I draw the...
