Today, I happen to meet people and projects that I got to know live via Zoom during the lockdowns. I suddenly realise what a rich time that was in terms of #learning and #opening up to previously unknown #ideas.

**I'm a college professor. My advice to young people who feel hooked on tech**
“_The process of writing — not the final product — is what sharpens our logical reasoning and self-expression. For students who don’t use AI in smart ways, the result is essays that are all product, no process — and no process means no real learning._”

This is consistent with most evidence I've seen on #AI and #learning.
Our primary jobs as educators is to help students learn to think critically and tackle difficult challenges. That's how we grow as students, and as people.
But students tend to use AI to avoid doing these hard, uncomfortable things, which has been termed by some as "cognitive laziness".

Between the Megamachine and Autonomy: Why and How I Use AI
AI is never neutral: it can serve the megamachine, but also personal emancipation, understanding, and self-construction. Here’s a critical reflection on my journey—between the urgency to understand, the rediscovery of slowness, and the desire for autonomy. #AI #Megamachine #Learning Thank you, @Tattered, and everyone questioning the use of AI, networks, and digital tools. Your critiques are vital—they keep us…
A few photos from my adventures in DIY mic building last night.
Drawing of the Circus of Nero (Pietro Santi Bartoli, 1699)
