:) i date maybe 20 years before you and coded C in college using vi. It sure is a whole new world. I hope I get time to have them redo their projects *with* AI before the year is out because it's going to blow their little minds.
So often AI is framed as either a threat or a magic shortcut, but you’re showing a middle path - scaffolding students’ learning while keeping them accountable.
tx Neela! There is a lot of pundit-ing going on, it get's tiresome. It's better to actually *use* the thing. I'm surprised by how few of my kids really know how to use AI and it's fun once they get it.
I think if we all used it - even a bit - we'd be better informed. JFran is non-technical and also a lifetime teacher and she now regularly uses for for lesson plans, tutoring and learning spanish.
No, I didn't encourage her - to the contrary - because I become tech support grim 😬
The loudest opinions seem to come from people who haven’t actually used it much. Once you start experimenting, it becomes way less mystical and way more practical.
This is great. Although nothing builds character like writing MergeSort in C on an exam paper.
Simultaneously makes me wish I was back in school and also very glad I had about a decade of writing code before the AI showed up.

I love this, Andrew. Here's why.

It’s true, Andrew.

Good for JFran :)
Happy Monday, Andrew…
