Quotes: “We shouldn’t do stuff we have done in the past just because we did it in the past; nor should we do new stuff just because it is new. We should focus on what works well with our students.” - George Couros “I am very open with the fact that I do not know everything…I am building that level of trust because I am willing to admit that I do not know.” - Jenn Hencken “Use AI as a research superpower. Use it in a positive way, not an ‘I gotcha way.’ If it is introduced in small pieces in all the classes, low-stakes activities…it will get you using it in a way that is good.” - Jenn Hencken Links: Jenn Hencken Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenhencken South Park Episode - Deep Learning (IMDB) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27035146/ Minority Mindset - https://www.youtube.com/@MinorityMindset/videos __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.
