Wünschte unser Bildungsminister nähme sich Zeit das zu lesen und darüber nachzudenken...

It's a sad state of affairs that this is the first year where my wife, a military brat whose father was a Colonel, and myself, former foreign correspondent, have felt emotionally uncomfortable attending a Remembrance Day service. All because of extreme nationalism of those who've weaponised the flag

Latest post looks at the complicated picture emerging on AI tutoring: when AI tutors work astonishingly well and when they quietly make students worse. ⬇️

This throws up some really interesting questions.
One of those ones where I've got so many connecting thoughts that it's pub-chat stuff.

But maybe it will all get overtaken by AI developments? Yet another thought-provoking blog from @carlhendrick.substack.com - this one a bit disconcerting. LLMs on their own hinder students but with tweaking could they actually turbocharge learning? substack.com/inbox/post/1...
