I have one student every semester who cannot afford a laptop and I’m forced into a curriculum that requires it. I usually work with said student and have them use their phone or my laptop (hopefully I don’t need to present). I would give it to a student.

That’s awesome news. I used it for the first time last year for a project and it was great and fit for everyone’s needs.

Do people have suggestions other than Kobo for a color ereader? I am trying to avoid feeling too locked down/in and thought Kobo was that. I’m still rocking an old nook I got for a few bucks at a thrift store years ago. I was led to believe Kobo was the most open option while still having access to local libraries.

I hope you’re right. I have half expected AI to be dealt to students in the way every student gets Office 365.

I am just nervous is all. Maybe each “Student” profile gets a set number of tokens but you can upgrade to “Student+” for more. I joke but I’m scared.

I will say AI has been an accessibility boon for ESL students, who regularly show the most depth in work I’ve seen.

I’m a bit stuck at what to do. It’s not going anywhere, but students seem to be worse at communicating from my experience. I don’t want to fall to confirmation bias so I won’t say I know that’s a broad truth, but it’s been my experience.

I’m hearing a lot of Universities, not just in California, are embracing it. Often policy is just that students have to note the use of AI but then it’s okay as university policies. Professors can still say no in their syllabus, but how long will that be a thing for plus it doesn’t deter from my experience.

I think we need to do a lot of research into how to ensure reluctant learners can be taught with AI being a thing. I know for a lot of writing heavy classes they have turned to physical writing in the classroom.

I’ve been using exclusively Linux for about two years now.

I only ever use the terminal when I need to fix something, usually by searching for a fix and trying it out. I know more about its use now but just enough to hurt myself.

I think it gives me strong UI opinions though. What works better for me. There is still a lot of choice in that.

I did the same on my desktop. I haven’t bought a laptop in forever though and idk what to do about them all having an AI key now.
