⿸ I just saved myself an hour and a half using ChatGPT to convert my rubric. 👩‍💻 A lot of teachers think that because AI chatbots are weird with math that anything that touches the "mathy" realm is going to be funky, and as a result, many don't even touch spreadsheets. ⏫ I uploaded an old rubric that I didn't like and wanted to align it to a more equitable 4-point scale (see Joe Feldman's Grading for Equity). ⏱ In a matter of seconds it rearranged my rubric and categorized it exactly as I hoped in an exportable format *CUE ANGELS SINGING FROM ON HIGH* 🔁 But I wasn't done - Since Google Assignments wouldn't import it (the formatting wasn't right), I asked it to rearrange the same information into a spreadsheet that matched Google's needs for uploading a rubric. 8 seconds later I had a perfectly formatted rubric. 🏋️‍♀️ In the past, I might have given up on a seemingly small project like this when the reality hit me of how long it would take to parse through all the ideas, find the right language, and then get it into the right format on spreadsheets. Now it was literally a 2 minute process, most of which was me figuring out the language I needed to explain what I wanted. 🧠 Consider how important it is that I might have given up on a more equitable practice because I got overwhelmed with what it would take to make the switch. This is one of the areas that's really easy for critics to gloss over: AI combined with thoughtful practice can increase opportunities for students to succeed and for teachers to help them do so. #AIinEducation #StudentSuccess #ProfessionalDevelopment #Equity #Grading | 21 comments on LinkedIn

I'm baaack after 7 days of holiday! 👋 Here's how I catch up on AI in just 2 hours (including a link to my exact prompt) I've just returned from 7 days in a sleepy country cottage in Norfolk with my family and the dog.  Lovely long walks on beaches and in forests Soothing tired screen-frazzled eyes with books Stuffing my face with fresh farm shop food Random day-drinking over giggly board games ...absolutely lush. It's also so nice to be reminded that I do have a personality and stuff to talk about still outside of work. This Founder life can be all-consuming, and it's so easy to forget yourself, isn't it? Anyway, getting back up to speed always feels like I'm standing on a bridge, about to jump onto a bullet train to fight baddies or something. But I've now got the AI catch-up bit down to a fine art. 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟭: 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 I'll spend the first hour perusing the top AI news creators* across the various channels: • Matt Wolfe – YouTube • The AI Advantage – YouTube • Allie K Miller – LinkedIn • Ruben Hassid – LinkedIn • Rowan Cheung – X & Newsletter (𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯) • Ethan Mollick – X & Substack (𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘜𝘴𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨) • Andrew Ng – LinkedIn • Marketing AI Institute – Spotify • Ben Tossell – Newsletter (𝘉𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴) 💡 Top tip: If there's lots going on I'll pop a list of URLs into a NotebookLM knowledge hub and then ask for all of the key points. 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟮: 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 All the AI chatbots now have this, but so few people seem to know it's there.  To find it: ChatGPT - Click the plus sign - Deep Research Claude - Research button under the chat box Gemini  - Toggle button next to plus sign - Deep Research Copilot - Agents - Built by Microsoft - Researcher Then I'll prompt to gather all the news while I go off and have a coffee. My prompt is too long for this post so I've put it into a G doc for you: https://lnkd.in/eK75vgX6 (Make sure you add the date into the bit I've highlighted yellow - LLMs don't tend to know the date.) It isn't instant - it'll take about 10 minutes. Then click into each link and have a better read. 💡 Top tip: Amend the prompt to focus on your specific industry or function, add trusted sources, etc.  Make it yours! And that's it - 2 hours and you'll find yourself up to date on what's happening. You'll notice a woeful lack of female AI news creators in there, apart from Allie.  Can I please get some recommendations for females who are quick off the mark with AI updates? PS If I started to report on the AI news on YouTube, would that be something you'd watch? Maybe a rundown of what's happened that week? | 113 comments on LinkedIn
