Just finished ‘Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education’ by Salman Khan of @khanacademy but I’m still not sure how I feel about it. Was it a pioneers insight into the future of education or just a long ad for Khanmigo? I’m undecided.

@khanacademy’s new book highlights the need for more in-class writing to develop skills amid the rise of AI—a practice I’ve embraced since ChatGPT’s launch. The gap between what students submit and what they can produce is glaring. Feels validating to see this acknowledged.

@jay_vini The idea that in a trillion years we may no longer exist as human beings with bodies but as wavelengths of consciousness sounds eerily like the San Junipero episode of #BlackMirror. What’s unsettling is how close we might already be to that reality, no? #IsaacAsimov

5 of 5 Stars for The Anxious Generation: How the Rewiring of Childhood Caused an Epidemic of Mental Illness by @JonHaidt. Eye opening, simple & so profound. I’m so grateful I had a play-based childhood. Being a kid today must be so complicated!

@karunpal ‘Nothing in this world’ implies they are unflinching even when met with logic and reason. I don’t think that’s an accurate representation, no?

“The two big mistakes we’ve made: overprotecting children in the real world… and under protecting them online.” The Anxious Generation by @JonHaidt This book should be mandatory reading for parents and educators everywhere.

@sethaarti9 in The Anxious Generation, the correlation between declining PISA scores & the rise of mobile phone use is startling but also logical when you think about it. The shift in how we consume information, allocate attention & engage with learning plays a pivotal role.
