#ASUGSV2026 wrapped up with CEO Erin Mote moderating a panel on consumer platforms vs. learning tech:
• Tools should inspire deeper thinking.
• Focus on outcomes over flash.
•️ AI needs a 3-month framework.
High screen time doesn’t equal deep cognition.

Expert Signals: Fidelity This post explores the concepts of high fidelity (hi-fi) and low fidelity (lo-fi) in music, emphasising the human essence behind audio recordings. It critiques AI's role in music and knowledge transfer, asserting that it strips away the personal nuances that convey true understanding and experience, ultimately diminishing the value of learning.

New post: every channel compresses knowledge, and what gets lost isn't random.

AI might strip all of it. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #EduSky

AI Agents, slop, and reclaiming the responsibility of learning

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.

Portrait of a Teacher The Portrait of a Teacher project aims to redefine the role of educators in response to the rapid technological and workforce changes shaping society.

AI won’t replace teachers.

But it will redefine the skills, mindsets, and roles that matter most.

You Don’t Need an AI Policy On Friday I told a room full of school leaders that they didn't need an AI policy, you could hear a pin drop — right up until the point people started to laugh and nod their heads. I was speaking with members of Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA), in a series of sessions which covered AI progress, risk and safety, and the practical use of GenAI platforms like Copilot and Gemini.

Your school, university, or business doesn't need an AI policy: you need to figure out what AI adds to the policies you already have. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu

What to Know About Curriculum Ownership and AI Compliance Using personal AI tools like ChatGPT for lesson planning can complicate curriculum ownership—and how Google Gemini’s portability feature may offer a safer, more compliant path forward educators.

New tools let you move your chats to Gemini—but does that protect your work from district ownership claims? Or make things worse?

What Happens to Expertise When Students Skip the Struggle? When students use GenAI to skip the hard parts of learning, they miss the productive struggle that builds genuine expertise. This post explores why the "AI is just like a calculator" argument falls short, and why novices are most at risk of outsourcing the thinking that matters most.

New post: GenAI makes it easy for students to skip the struggle, but productive struggle is where real learning happens. The students most likely to over-rely on it have the most to lose. What's the "minimum viable struggle" we need to protect? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEd #AIInEd

Lived Experience Using AI as an AuDHD Adult AI is often marketed as a game-changer for neurodivergent learners, but the reality is more complicated. As someone with a combined autism/ADHD diagnosis, I explore both the genuine risks of AI for ND users, including pathologising training data and addictive design patterns, and the personal, practical ways I actually use these tools: capturing ideas on the move, voice-to-text writing, and creating social stories for navigating complex situations like conferences.

Letting the Robots In AI agents are increasingly browsing the web alongside humans, but most websites still serve them the same cluttered HTML designed for browsers. Here's what I've done to make this site more readable for AI systems, why I think educators should care about being AI-accessible, and why the real problem isn't scraping but the attribution gap that AI companies have chosen not to fix.

New post: the web is developing a second layer, built for AI agents instead of human browsers. I've started making my site readable for both. The real fight isn't access, it's attribution. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu

Building Websites with Claude Code Over the past couple of weekends I have built and published five complete websites and a complex interactive page for this site.
