Looking for ideas to engage your students in conversation? In this week's quick news roundup, I give you stories about:

  • The impact of overwork on the teacher's brain,
  • An idea for an energy drink experiment for science teachers around the chemical "taurine"
  • NASA and the tectonic plates of Venus
  • YouTube's new "Peak Points" Advertising strategy as an AI article to discuss with students
  • ChatGPT 4 going away? And how I teach students to test different models of AI and share their results
  • How some people are installing local LLM's on their machines
  • New AI guidance for teachers and common patterns I'm noting
  • Google's AIME and the future of medical chat bots
  • DuoLingo goes AI, and
  • A Star-Wars themed personality test gone to the dark side?

Once a week, I work to share news articles and stories with you that I'm using. I want you to have quick ideas for turning headlines into a warm-up, debate, or story starter.

Do you want to know how I have students share their prompts and test various models of AI? I use my Rise Vision Board! When teaching AI, seeing how each student uniquely interacts with technology is essential. Rise Vision's screen sharing solution turned my aging display into a modern wireless hub without replacement costs. I can now securely moderate which student screens appear—perfect for AI demonstrations and collaborative learning. The Rise Vision system is incredibly user-friendly and costs just a fraction of new interactive displays. I'm saving my school money while enhancing our tech capabilities! Visit Rise Vision to see how you can refresh rather than replace your classroom displays.
