Subtitled: " Stop Teaching Tools, Start Transforming Minds." Interesting article on how to teach the teachers about AI. As the subtitle suggests, it's more about learning how to adapt to a new way of thinking than it is to learning how to use a new tool. "The academics who most gracefully navigate this transition won't be those who master the perfect prompt or memorise the latest features. They'll be those who dare to have their assumptions challenged, who turn their anxieties into experiments, who let their professional identity evolve through - not despite - their engagement with AI." This of course has always been true of technology, not just AI. Those who best navigated social media, for example, where those who experimented with it, challenging their own apprehensions and finding out for themselves whether they were reasonable.
