AI is evolving fast.

Humans? Still catching up.

Respect isn’t built on punctuality or perfection, it’s built on empathy, honesty, and curiosity.
That’s the real upgrade we need. #Edtech #Edai #ai #education

Turns out curiosity and kindness share the same codebase, ask nicely, and the whole tech community starts debugging your obscurity. 🚀

With so much tech (including AI), I always wonder why we, (teachers), seem to end up using the same time. Does it save our time? Or does it just move our time to different things

Robert Mitton @robertmitton.bsky.social · 3d

Empower the skilled to become the teachers, when experienced students mentor peers, the whole team codes in harmony, not hierarchy.
Collaboration isn’t just a method; it’s the software that makes learning run.

Robert Mitton @robertmitton.bsky.social · 3d

Educators must shift from grading products to interpreting participation; assessing how learners build meaning with others, not just what they create alone.
Assessment becomes less about the click, and more about the conversation it sparks.

If AI becomes the infrastructure of knowledge, we must ensure epistemic integrity (how truth and authority are defined) and equitable access, so that knowledge creation remains transparent, diverse, and human-centred.

Exacerbating. I feel communities knew it was already there, but now it highlights not only people who don’t have access to the internet, but those on lower speeds

With a focus on those critical thinking skills

So important that European educator unions are getting together to agree ways forward on AI in both schools and HE - and especially that they are *not* partnering with big AI firms as the US teachers' union has done.

We're doing a European wide study on the state of play, policies, union responses and we're working on exchanging and building best practices and capacity. We'll publish more soon.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Really interesting, they must still have to operate and be classed as separate ?

Six months into our new BRITEthink software journey, and it’s been both exhilarating to see how far we’ve come... and how much we continue to learn. Launching both Arabic and English versions simultaneously was ambitious, but essential to reflect the diverse communities we serve #ai #EdAi #edtech

Exactly, you don’t save time, it just gets shifted into new tasks.

Robert Mitton @robertmitton.bsky.social · 19d

It’s been fun to be on a podcast this week. Speaking about what I enjoy. youtu.be/M6CJgiEcl1I #ai #Edtech #aibias #machinelearning #Edai #research

And yet we don’t reach this as a skill in school

Robert Mitton @robertmitton.bsky.social · 20d

And we always hear that it will improve effectiveness and saves time, when it actually just changes the tasks to new tasks and adds time

I was preparing some notes on what decolonising Ai looks like, in the theme of vocational training. It can mean a lot of things, but changing to data or getting it more localised it not enough…the AI entity will still think like a western/euro-centric way

3 impactful days, discussing assessment, ai and ethical use in assessment and culture. My first time to #Learn2025 but one which will give me more runway to work in the Kingdom #ai #assessment #TVET #learning

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚
