Posted something very similar on this today. See also trying to teach different modules to students in the same class, "I didn't revise for it because I'm just going to resit it", 'voluntary' booster sessions for every module etc etc

Interested in the age split on this @teachertapp.bsky.social question. Also the opinions of those of us old enough to have had students sitting/resitting/studying for different modules in the same class. Whilst also managing coursework.... #Edusky #teamcompsci

Yes I think this is true and something people outside teaching don't understand well enough. The greatest driver of learning is motivation and humans are not naturally motivated to want to learn stuff. So you need to be inspired to do it. Humans are needed for that.

When I first started teaching, teachers made their own resources, which gives you a much better understanding of why you're teaching something and where it's leading. Now lots of teachers buy them because we don't even get time to do the actual job properly.

the feeling I'm getting using Claude at work is that if you're a good engineer with deep knowledge of the codebase, it can make you a lot more productive. if you're a mediocre engineer with surface level knowledge of the codebase, it can also make you a lot more productive, which is BAD.

Stewart Lee: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse all work for Pimlico Plumbers I heard the prophet of the AI-driven end times foretell our doom in chilling detail last week. It was Reform donor Charlie Mullins on LBC

Let's remember this during options evenings, assemblies and lessons - "...the knowing of knowledge can and should be an end in itself in a civilised society..."

If behaviour isn't good in your school, don't bother prioritising anything else until it is. You'll be wasting your time.

We moved into our house in 2009. Despite moving up the pay scale + TLRs since (two HOD family) we wouldn't be able to afford to buy it today.

Very good today. A little bit smug that I got it with no hints.

I do enjoy these CCHQ quotes: "Yes another of the people we promoted to extremely important roles is a grifting wanker."

Yep. I've totally stepped back from my usual diet of politics podcasts. Inconsequential fiction and comedy for me right now.

Are remote teachers and AI deepfakes the answer to recruitment issues? From deepfake teachers to remote maths lessons - how are schools using tech and AI in the classroom?

I find the idea of deepfake AI clones of real teachers viscerally disgusting.
At one point in this article an organisation that does this trys to justify if by saying no teacher will be forced to have a clone.
Wow.

Don't blindly trust what AI tells you, Google boss tells BBC Sundar Pichai candidly acknowledged concerns about inaccurate answers generated by Google's models.

A lot of the time I have enough knowledge to know what "AI" tells me is either wrong, or hasn't given me what I've asked for, but what happens when you haven't? #TeamCompSci
