Dear Teachers,
Read and enjoy the articles and videos in this week’s report! See below.
My reading tip this week is this 404 Media article - Teachers Are Not Ok. It’s a revealing read into the dilemma’s posed by rampant and addictive ChatGPT use by students and the frustrations of teachers. Even if you support some use of generative AI - what happens is ”your mind is incrementally taken over” as Norman Finkelstein explains so well below. You will start using AI more and more … And from there, there is no going back, you’ve been hooked and crooked.
All the best, David
