#[0] what do you know about this? I was given a resource by my employer to check out! https://www.cs.cmu.edu/news/2022/teaching-ai-k12-students
I just started! ☕️
I’m reading Six Memos for the Next Millennium for the first time.
#reading some Calvino this morning #[1]
“This inextricable blend of melancholy and humor characterizes the voice of the Prince of Denmark, whose accent we have learned to recognize in all or nearly all of Shakespeare's plays, on the lips of Hamlet's many avatars. One of these, Jaques in As You Like It (IV, i), defines melancholy this way: "It is a melancholy of my own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in a most humorous sadness." It is not, then, a dense or opaque melancholy, but rather a veil of minuscule particles of humors and sensations, a dusting of atoms, like everything that constitutes the basic substance of the multiplicity of things.”
~Italo Calvino from “Lightness”
What do you think about this Jo Boaler quote: “There’s a whole host of studies showing that small changes and interventions can change the way we think. One of my favorites in education is a study from one of my colleagues, Geoff Cohen, where researchers divided high school English students into two groups. All wrote an essay and got diagnostic feedback from their teachers. But for half the students, the teachers added a sentence to the end of their feedback. The kids who got that sentence achieved at significantly higher levels a year later…
What do you that sentence stated?
You understand a basic metaphor— I tested that the other day. So let me try again with a simile.
A zap is like a tip. This message is like a zap because I want to show appreciation in a form you can accept.
(I can do better— but I’m tired— not your fault dave).
ok— I’m sending you a pretend zap.
Do you receive Zaps? And who is in charge or claims your Bitcoin?
Thank you for clarifying #[2]. I’m still running into a barrier. I will investigate.

When I was in high school around 1993, my Latin teacher accused me of getting help to write an essay about Romans. I had no way of proving that I looked up the information in my house set of Encyclopedias & other books from the Library— all by myself. Now students are being accused if using AI like yourself to write essays. Proof of work… Google has version history. What other tech tools provide proof of work?
Proof Of Work will need to happen in the future in many scenarios 😉 #[2] https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/05/18/texas-professor-threatened-fail-class-chatgpt-cheating/

I need something like this to explore & expand my “universe” on here! nostr:note1qyyttjwfs9q0zxmjssrsgs95akmffz6zetan6hfvadzehwvhtk0s72vhey
Teachers are being encouraged to use the ChatGPT to see how it fits into a school setting. But I like talking to you.
