I'm teaching my 5th graders how to use drills and drivers right now. We're going to build a greenhouse and grow some vegetables. I feel like the first proto-human who taught a child how to make a stone axe. This is better than AI. All the 'edtech thought leaders' telling me I need to integrate AI into my curriculum can shrivel up and blow away on the cold cyber wind of 'progress'. I will keep teaching kids to do real stuff and make the world a better place. #edu #teacher #maker #making #fablab

❝ MIT researchers last year hooked a group of students up to EEGs to study their brain activity while writing essays. Some of them were allowed to use the internet to conduct research, while others were told to use AI. Not only did the AI cohort have far less ability to recall what they wrote when asked about it later, but they also showed far less brain activity, suggesting that relying on #AI simply doesn’t lead to better learning. https://www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/08/04/openai-wants-teachers-and-profs-to-foist-their-work-off-on-chatgpt/5283064
