We just wrapped up our 7th #GenAIforSchools call with @AlexMBraden as co-host, leading a great discussion filled with ideas on how we are helping ourselves and other grow in our understanding of AI in education. Here are some key insights from today's conversation:
๐ AI Assessment Scales ๐
@AmeliaKtech shared she's trialing an AI assessment scale from @lfurze and developing an in-house version. Leon and team have released a new scale!
๐ซ Classroom Practices ๐ซ
@NickEdTech mentioned his school is displaying AI-related expectations in classrooms. Teachers are required to label assignments with the degree to which AI can be used.
๐ Reading and Literature ๐
@AmeliaKtech and @aglobalwanderer highly recommend Ethan Mollick's book "Co-Intelligence". amazon.com/Audible-Co-Intellโฆ
@TrainTheTeacher recommended "The Mediatrician's Guide" over "Anxious Generation" due to its practical advice for families finding balance with device use and becoming Media Mentors. Check it out amazon.sg/Mediatricians-Guidโฆ
@MrAlexEdTech and @aglobalwanderer both recommended โSkill Codeโ by Matt Beane about the importance of expert-novice relationships and how AI could potentially disrupt this age-old relationship/practice. amazon.com/Skill-Code-Abilitโฆ
๐ Upcoming Professional Development ๐

1๏ธโฃ AIFE (aife.community): An AI-themed conference in November at Verso International School in Bangkok.
2๏ธโฃ Learning2: (learning2.org)Taking place in November in Shanghai is now offering day-passes, so you donโt have to commit to the full three days!
3๏ธโฃ FOEN25 (wab-edu.cn/future) in March at Western Academy of Beijing. Last time they ran this conference, Jane Goodall spoke! #FOEN25
๐ ๏ธ Piloting New Tools ๐ ๏ธ
@TrainTheTeacher talked about the idea of piloting new tools and the wonderful suggestion to call them "Sandboxes" to convey play, exploration, and safety which our really liked!
๐ Conclusion ๐

There are so many options and choices when it comes to where and how to spend your Professional Development budget and most importantly - ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
How can I tell if a conference is worth attending? Are these sessions relevant to my field of teaching? Are there insights and actions that I can bring back straight from the conference hall to the classroom?
Well, we can assure you that the 16th edition of the 21st Century Learning Annual Conference (21CLHK) is not only worth attending, it is NOT TO BE MISSED!
21CLHK is where teachers, school leaders, edtech professionals gather to learn about how to implement the future of education from thought leaders, technology and learning experts, and their peers.
