At an upcoming TCEA Lunch and Learn, I’ll be walking through creation of AI-powered newsletters. This is really a 30-minute webinar on creating newsletters from links you provide. You can use an existing set of custom instructions, then fine-tune them for a Google Gemini Gem, BoodleBox Unlimited Bot, ChatGPT Custom GPT, or Claude Project. In this way, you get consistent look-n-feel to your newsletters without all the hard work of coding in HTML or whatever.

Do you change your mind in the face of fresh evidence? I’d like to say I do, but more often than not, it’s easier to ignore new evidence than try to discard old ideas and work on a new hypothesis for how things work. Still, it is the only sensible approach, no matter how painful. That’s why the research on educational technology gets ignored…it’s easier to keep believing that putting technology in the hands of every child will magically result in learning. Or that their futures will be assured.

Preparing for a workshop the first weekend in December, I asked myself, “Wouldn’t it be cool to have an online assessment for Gen AI fluency but for a specific group?” I’d seen a presentation from Section, where they shared . As you might guess, I wasn’t the only one inspired to modify the AI fluency assessment (given that it’s so simple, not valid or reliable, more of a gut check) Zapier had crafted.
