Gradually Reclaiming Responsibility The article explores the concept of resistance in educational contexts, especially with the rise of GenAI technology. It examines how students must actively maintain ownership of their learning and critical thinking, especially as AI takes on more responsibility in the learning process. The traditional gradual release of responsibility model is adapted to consider AI's impact, emphasising that resistance is essential for genuine learning.

The Gradual Release of Responsibility model is common throughout education. But what happens when responsibility is released onto AI? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu

A Taxonomy of Agentic AI The evolution of AI agents, particularly since 2024, has shifted from marketing hype to practical applications across various levels of capability. AI agents, defined as large language model-based applications, perform semi-autonomous tasks using code. This taxonomy categorises AI agents from simple code-using chatbots to complex teams executing multi-faceted projects, highlighting their growing significance in educational settings.

The Effort Economy of Slop The concept of "AI slop" highlights the imbalance in effort between creators and consumers of content generated by artificial intelligence. As production becomes effortless, the burden shifts to the consumer.

Processes Are More Important Than Prompts In Processes are More Important than Prompts, Leon Furze argues that "prompt engineering" has become less important as GenAI technologies have matured. His early 2023 article focused heavily on crafting perfect prompts, but technological improvements—multimodal inputs (PDFs, images, spreadsheets), internet access, thinking models, and research applications—have reduced the need for lengthy contextual prompts.

A promotional graphic for National AI Literacy Day on Friday, March 27. The central white section features the event logo which is a blue stylized cloud and the tagline AI in Education: Unlocking Possibilities, Avoiding Pitfalls. The graphic is framed by three distinct action photos. In the top left, a young student wearing a baseball cap interacts with a robotic arm while an instructor looks on. In the top right, a group of children watches a four legged robotic dog walk across a blue floor. At the bottom, two men are seated on a stage during a panel discussion where one man in a red sweater gestures while speaking into a microphone while the other man in a black blazer listens.

How do we harness AI's potential while addressing the risks?

Join The Tech Interactive, aiEDU, Common Sense Media, and @edsafeaialliance.bsky.social this Friday to build a concrete AI action plan for your district.
