Eactly! The cohert that showed no difference didn't provide guidance of any sort, just provided GPT-4 as a resource. The cohert that benifited had a tutor agent setup and the students were instructed to treat it like a tutor. Like calculators, computers, and the Internet before, we need to design curriculum with AI in mind for it to be useful.

I co-teach AP Computer Science A through Microsoft's TEALS program. The classroom runs on Chromebooks, Google Classroom, and code.org (AWS). Corporate infrastructure top to bottom. This year I added an AI tutor. That's apparently the controversial part.

The research is interesting: a Wharton study found students using standard ChatGPT performed 17% worse on exams—the "crutch" effect. But students using AI with pedagogical guardrails showed no negative effect. The problem isn't AI in education. It's unguided AI. So I built a tutor that asks probing questions instead of giving answers. I'm sharing the prompt I use and how to set one up yourself.

While, China made AI education mandatory for six-year-olds this year. We're still deciding whether to block ChatGPT.

Exactly. She can’t win without votes, and we need to be informed between now and then to get more voters to the polls.

No, Skype.

Email is the original federated social network.

Time to build federated alternatives.

But now you can silently judge your neighbors for the ads they are seeing.
