PROOF POINTS: Asian American students lose more points in an AI essay grading study — but researchers don't know why
The testing organization that administers the SAT analyzed more than 13,000 essays
ETS’s researchers had asked GPT-4o to score the essays cold, without showing the chatbot any graded examples to calibrate its scores. It’s possible that a few sample essays or small tweaks to the grading instructions, or prompts, given to ChatGPT could reduce or eliminate the bias against Asian Americans. Perhaps the robot would be fairer to Asian Americans if it were explicitly prompted to “give out more perfect 6s.”
Free resource: The Little Book of Generative AI prompts for senior leaders Free resource: The Little Book of Generative AI prompts for senior leaders - ICTEvangelist
Last year I created a 'Little Book of Generative AI Prompts for Teachers'. It was labour of love to create but has proven hugely popular. I've been promising for some time now to create an equivalent 'Little Book' with prompts in it for senior leaders... and here it is!! It is important to recognise that
Teachers’ AI digital competencies and twenty-first century skills in the post-pandemic world - Educational technology research and development
The pandemic has catalyzed a significant shift to online/blended teaching and learning where teachers apply emerging technologies to enhance their students’ learning outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has gained its popularity in online learning environments during the pandemic to assist students’ learning. However, many of these AI tools are new to teachers. They may not have rich technical knowledge to use AI educational applications to facilitate their teaching, not to mention developing students’ AI digital capabilities. As such, there is a growing need for teachers to equip themselves with adequate digital competencies so as to use and teach AI in their teaching environments. There are few existing frameworks informing teachers of necessary AI competencies. This study first explores the opportunities and challenges of employing AI systems and how they can enhance teaching, learning and assessment. Then, aligning with generic digital competency frameworks, the DigCompEdu framework and P21’s framework for twenty-first century learning were adapted and revised to accommodate AI technologies. Recommendations are proposed to support educators and researchers to promote AI education in their classrooms and academia.

Meta changes its label from 'Made with AI' to 'AI info' to indicate use of AI in photos | TechCrunch
After Meta started tagging photos with a "Made with AI" label in May, photographers complained that the social networking company had been applying labels
Because of the user feedback and general confusion around what level of AI is used in a photo, the company is changing the tag to “AI info” across all of Meta’s apps.
This documentary is an eye-opening journey through the confusing first school year with generative AI. The film spotlights an education community united by the same quest but struggling to simultaneously balance the need to go fast and slow. Episode one starts with the teaching challenge and the question, "What will it take for teachers to thrive in the age of generative AI?" Blindsided puts a human face on the dilemma created for everyone in education, including teachers, students, administrators, parents, professional associations, and ed tech companies. Drawing from 15,000+ interviews, the film captures the thinking, gut feelings, and overlooked questions shaping how AI is impacting teaching and learning.
