Trying to cut through the hype versus reality in the this @CBCNews explainer with @NatStechyson. cbc.ca/news/business/apple-v…

Is virtual reality the future? Apple's betting on it, but VR experts say we may not be there yet |...

On Monday, Apple unveiled a new product that's either revolutionary, or very expensive hype, depending on whether you read the company description of the Vision Pro or media reviews of its unveiling.

I'd also note that there is major construction (started on May 1, sigh) on Queen Street immediately east of Sheraton Centre - it doesn't affect the subway or pedestrian traffic but the Queen streetcar is re-routed it may make it a bit trickier to get a taxi on Queen.

"Yes, students use technology to cheat, but they also use it to learn, and history has shown us repeatedly that far more students use it to learn than cheat." -Andrea L. Guzman insidehighered.com/opinion/v… @insidehighered

Don't assume your students are eager about AI (opinion)

Faculty and administrators shouldn’t assume students are jumping on the AI bandwagon, Andrea L. Guzman writes.
