We should not treat this just as a talking point, but as a call to action. https://www.rand.org/news/press/2026/03/student-use-of-ai-for-homework-rises-as-concerns-grow.html04 Apr 2026 02:23 +0000at://did:plc:4wpveq6hkns42rrpcffeurly/app.bsky.feed.post/3min6ih3dln27https://bsky.app/profile/neif.bsky.social/post/3m2hs3qhvnn2fMerriam-Webster's new AI ad is hilarious — and just a little unsettling.

Assessment in the AI era isn't a puzzle to solve; it's a balancing act we'll never finish. We should expect messiness and make space for it institutionally. https://onedtech.philhillaa.com/p/on-flexibility-in-teaching-learning-and-edtech05 Oct 2025 18:42 +0000at://did:plc:4wpveq6hkns42rrpcffeurly/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2hqsov3ro2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/neif.bsky.social/post/3m2hqll62io2kWhere do ethics and artistry meet when AI helps write?
