Ditch summit session 3
So attended my first session at the 2024 Ditch summit, video discussion on Cautious Steps Toward AI Implementation in Education with Ken Shelton and Dee Lanier.
The videos of the sessions will be up until the 10th January
Excellent conversation and some really valid points raised about bias, and how we define for example cheating and ways we can address this by reframing how we do approach tasks, such as reframe cheating as potentially compromising learning.

Ditch summit session 2
So attended my first session at the 2024 Ditch summit, video discussion on How to ACE Student AI Literacy in Schools with Holly Clark.
The videos of the sessions will be up until the 10th January.
Once you register you have access to the pre recoded sessions, This session was a discussion between Matt Miller (host) and Holly Clark
Some excellent points raised, including how to critique information generated, ideas on how to differentiate if an image is AI generated, The signs an article may be AI generated. Being able to evaluate if an article is Ai generated is also important when undertaking research for essays or reading the news for example.
The above skills are taught by school anyway when it comes to research skills, so we are applying and adapting critical thinking skills to evaluating AI.
As this is evolving technology, it was also suggested the learning journey is shared by the teachers and students ( I would guess teaching assistants should really be part of this process too ). However, teachers need to understand AI so that they can provide students with a safe environment to explore AI, the possibilities and risks associated with AI.
I found the discussion very useful and will try and share some of my notes with teachers if I can.

Ditch summit session 1
So attended my first session at the 2024 Ditch summit, video discussion on Inquiry based learning with Trevor Mackenzie. This was fascinating and looked at how we can get students to ask questions and develop curiosity as part of their learning, and how this approach can be adapted across different age groups. The videos of the sessions will be up until the 10th January.

This format is great, as it seems to avoid many of the issues with live sessions which can be hampered with technical issues, that have a real knock effect post conferences if there is no access to the material presented.

Understanding the Atmospheric Effects of Spacecraft Re-entry
This was posted to the Fediverse. The original post from COSPAR, The Committee on Space Research (COSPAR): can be found here
This is an upcoming workshop looking at the environmental impact of spacecraft reentry in to the Earths Atmosphere.
This workshop will address the impact of spacecraft re-entry on the atmosphere. The aim is to bring together atmospheric chemists and physicists, material experts, the space industry, and international space research related organizations to highlight the gaps in our understanding of the modelling and how we can improve testing to obtain relevant data and suggest appropriate mitigation and regulatory measures.
This sounds like a fascinating area of research and discussion, as any exploration of space needs to take into account any environmental impacts.
Understanding the Atmospheric Effects of Spacecraft Re-entry (10-11 January 2024): Overview · Indico at ESA / ESTEC
Workshop information
It will be interesting to learn about the findings and conclusions from this, as it will open up further discussion on the topic(s) raised.
