Hello Skool community! I've been busy writing and putting together resources - but will be doing more here in the Skool community now that the school (skool?) year has begun. Meanwhile, I did complete my latest book "Teaching with AI" and have put a free sample of the first three chapters in the Classroom for all of you! (hope you check it out). This book, along with my "Learning with AI" book are part of a series I'm working on about AI in Education. If you want the entire book - here is the link: https://amzn.to/3UAzJxm

If you are interested in how AI can be used for authentic learning - I hope my new book will help. This is something that came out of the work I've been doing on research-based learning and specifically the course we ran on the Skool site earlier this year. I decided to expand and develop this into a book for learners to explore 9 different ways to use AI to support their learning. https://amzn.to/4eceKZl If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can get it for free! (I also priced it at a lower cost if you want a long-term copy). The paperback isn't out yet - I have to review the proofs first. Thanks to everyone that took the course and provided feedback on the concept - I appreciate that very much.

Here is an exclusive link to some work I'm doing around thinking skills. https://bra.in/3j3aKr My goal for April is to get a couple of training sessions up and running. - CoPilot 365 training - Thinking in the Age of AI - Educator Income Lab All of these are partially built, but I will run them in the same way I ran the 4-week "Learning with AI" Workshop. It's a bit quiet here lately (I need to visit every day I think...) So, if there is one of the above you are more interested in - just comment below. I've been working things behind the scenes and there are a lot of items ready to be launched in April.

Well... I guess it's time to stop everything. Today I read that AI will soon do ALL the work, and there will be no need for anyone anymore. Sheesh. I appreciate that AI is powerful and cool, but it seems a bit optimistic to think it will take over everything. My thought is that it is an important new technology - but it won't be as dramatic as people think. I decided to have AI create an image for me on some of the other technologies that were going to take over.

It's week three, and there are some FUN things this week. We will learn methods that we can use to get things to "stick" inside our heads (good things - learning things). We will talk a little about System 1 and System 2 thinking - how AI prefers one over the other and how we can have it help us with actual learning! All the previous sessions are recorded - so it's not too late to catch up and join in!
