The ELT Buzz Digest
All the "buzz" and going ons for the last week.
Dear Teachers,
Please find this week’s digest below. Lots of interesting items!
My reading tip for this week is this work of art - Pee Pee, Poo Poo. An AI podcast that is truly surreal and says so much about the banal, empty content, facile and surface slickness that is content birthed (pulped) by LLMs. Truly would make Beckett or Duchamp proud! Let me know what this "speaks to you” in the comments. Also, see the doc about school in Japan, link below. Very insightful!
Best,
David - ELT Buzz-In-Chief
