"Students across Canada are exposed to artificial intelligence (AI) whether through search engines, writing assistants, automated recommendation systems or social media.

That everyday exposure raises a first, fundamental question: What should students should learn about AI? "

➔ How should schools teach AI?

@samwho@hachyderm.io I get it. #sigh. I do as much writing as possible on my mobile, where I have several customised automations, like custom auto-text & custom emojis, for things I use often. In comparison, my desktop & laptop are so primitive!

@fabs@mastodon.gamedev.place @ekuber@hachyderm.io did you include the bit about Josh's Design Patterns study groups? "I am often compelled to ask these individuals if they actually believe that the book can be 'read' rather than 'studied'?" -- Joshua Kerievsky He created a lovely pattern language for running good study groups, called "Knowledge Hydrant" or (later?) "Pools of Insight"' https://www.industriallogic.com/blog/pools-of-insight-study-groups/ Design patterns Study group https://www.industriallogic.com/papers/learning.html #designPatterns #facilitation

@jmsdnns@mastodon.social i see Jitsi mentioned here as an alternative. But it's free, which raises a red flag for me - I've seen other "free" services do a bait-and-switch to suddenly be "use our great AI for a fee" ... and you just know that AI was fed on our "free"-ly provided data 😕

Replying to @erin@mstdn.ca

@erin@mstdn.ca I've not yet seen an understandable (by a non geek) written explanation of what appears in which feed. What I've seen has either been oversimplified or uses jargon: ▪ "there's no algorithm" which is clearly nonsense, else how could Boost make a difference? ▪ "Local feed shows messages from users of this instance" seems to be true, but incomplete ▪ "global" timeline is not "everything" Clear doc would save my wasting others' time asking confused questions. Thx

Replying to @announcements@mstdn.ca

"Many new Mastonauts start their time on Mastodon at the largest instances and then discover an instance that is better suited for their experience. Some prefer to have a local feed that is better tailored to their interests - such as here at mstdn.ca where we cater specifically to Canadians." Don't worry, you can move to a more suitable server later, too. 👍 @announcements @chad
