Since banning phones we have seen such an incredible impact on children's wellbeing and learning.

We have been overwhelmed at how quickly children become children again. They are happier

The Times came to our school to speak to children and staff 👇👇

This was a really good podcast discussion between Daisy Christodoulou and Prof Rose Luckin Rose Luckin's EDUCATE Ventures | AI for Education about AI in education, from autumn last year. Finally got around to it this morning and can recommend. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

In the 70s, Herbert Simon predicted that as information became cheap, attention would grow scarce.

He was right. And it’s a challenge for everyone in ed tech. You can create a brilliant app, but how do you get students to pay attention to it?

The deployment of Large language models (LLMs) in education rubs up against a fundamental human problem: attention and its scarcity.

More brilliant analysis of what AI might - and might not - do for education by Daisy Christodoulou. For Engelsberg Ideas.

Typically thoughtful and measured piece from Daisy Christodoulou, and happy to see Rising Academies' Rori chatbot get a mention.

Join this debate. If you are not at the table you are on the menu.

Daisy Christodoulou does all the heavy lifting for us in the superbly clear argument.

Neil Almond 🇺🇦 I used your prompt and it disputed gibberish. ChatGTP did the same.

We made the list! I'm thrilled to share that we've been approved by the Colorado Department of Education as an evidence-based phonics provider. We're happy to be part of the movement towards evidence-based reading instruction in the USA!

This is a great read.

Jon is one of my favorite people to have discussions and debate with. I find his intellectual engagement to be thoughtful, serious and open minded. Until now I’ve never known anyone with this view.

A good piece by Daisy, reflecting that LLMs are great at the broad sweep of language but bad at the 'picky details' that distinguish good curriculum sequencing & pedagogy from bad. Also, they're not necessarily ideal for channelling precious learning attention.

‘Technological change happens not just through the invention of new technologies, but through the integration of those technologies into human routines and institutions. If we want to improve education, then that is the challenge we have to meet.’

My latest article on AI and education for Engelsberg Ideas

Will LLMs be capable of being “teacherbots”?

2 problems.

1) they are terrible at detail - and detail really matters.

2) will students pay attention to them sufficiently to learn?

In my quest for getting #assessment right in RE, I have discovered a goldmine of sensible information on the topic. Assisted too by my #NPQLT course, I now understand why I've been v v v frustrated with our current model. #TeamRE Thanks Daisy Christodoulou
