Todo el mundo habla de ChatGPT y las IAs generativas, pero muchos aún no conocen cómo hacerlas funcionar correctamente.
En este hilo introducimos dos conceptos clave para hacerlo: el Prompt y el Prompt Engineering. 🧵👇🏻

Las herramientas de IA generativas necesitan una instrucción dada por el usuario para crear contenido. Por esta razón, aprender a dirigir estas herramientas hacia los resultados deseados puede ser una habilidad de gran valor.
En el mundo de la IA, el término "prompt" se refiere a una descripción o instrucción que se proporciona a un programa para guiarlo a producir un resultado deseado. Es la entrada de datos que le damos a una herramienta de IA para que genere una respuesta o un resultado concreto.
Las herramientas de generación de imágenes son una excelente solución para crear contenido de calidad sin necesidad de tener habilidades avanzadas en diseño gráfico.

A few months ago, I was googling STEM programs in prisons, and came across an ad, posted on eBay of all places. “Could there be a future in computer programming for prisoners?” #higheredinprison #edtech #stem @STEM_OPS @Prof_Andrisse
But it wasn’t from The Last Mile or Slack's Next Chapter, which are both nonprofits working in this space now. It was an IBM ad from 1970 in Scientific American. @TLM @IBM @sciam @SlackHQ bit.ly/3KbocNQ
I had no idea that computer programming was offered in prisons 50 years ago. As I dug a little bit into the archives of @JSTOR’s American Prison Newspaper Archives, I discovered this was happening all across the country. Via La Roca, AZ State Prison, 1974. bit.ly/3Yy5CDT
As part of my digital role I have been banking all the interesting Twitter threads on #ChatGPT in #education and #teaching. I thought it would be useful to signpost educators to what it can do. 🧵🧵🧵

First off hats off to @torreytrust for putting together this amazing summary of #chatGPT for schools.
Still think ChatGPT is bad for education?
I just gave it a mark scheme and a sample student answer from an AQA GCSE English Language paper.
Look what happened 👇

As a response (thanks to Melissa McBride from Sophia.app) I asked it how it could be improved and to provide an exemplar answer.

I’ve received a few requests to block #chatgpt on our school network. This feels like a pivotal moment in #edtech and 1:1 classrooms.
I believed going 1:1 & having access to an abundance of information was, in the hands of every student would fundamentally transform edu.

Change definitely occurred, but not in the way I had hoped & envisioned. In many ways 1:1 edtech became about productivity and testing machines. This is a reasonable progression, but missing huge opportunity.
My perspective has always been, what can we allow students to do with these devices that they could not do otherwise. While productivity, organization, assessment and access to class content improves efficiency, it doesn’t create new opportunities for students.
Attended a webinar with @educationgovuk hosted by @TheANME yesterday about the Digital & Tech & Cyber Security standards: bit.ly/dfedigitech
The webinar raised far more questions than answers & seriously lacked an understanding of what is happening front line. A thread...

Whilst the standards are a good guidance for schools to start from, the reality is that a lot of the recommendations are a blue sky dream for schools. Investment in IT (both personnel & kit) has been so poor, the reality almost requires us to go back to the drawing board.
The biggest question that schools & IT staff are asking is where is the funding coming from to help schools meet these standards? An example given was for schools to have WiFi 6 across the organisation. Most users don't even have WiFi 6 in the home, let alone in school!

Some reflections on the situation at FutureLearn as it's unfolded this week and thinking ahead - a thread…⬇️ 1/

Indicators haven’t been good for a long time - sadly and the recent news is the culmination of a business that consistently hasn’t been profitable. 2/
They have faced the same challenge of other MOOC platforms in moving from an enterprise initially focussed on free open courses into something that could be financial sustainable and profitable. 3/
Notable news in the world of online education in higher ed - Open University has announced its intention to find a buyer for its 50% stake in FutureLearn #onlinelearning #edtech #highered 1/
The other 50% is owned by SEEK - it will be interesting to observe whether a new investor will be forthcoming and whether in the short to medium term whether this will represent an upturn or a further downturn in fortunes. 2/
I wrote a thread earlier in the year about FutureLearn - and worrying financial results 3/
Over the past decade, $20B has been invested into US edtech, yet only 3 companies have gone public: @coursera, @duolingo, @udemy. Many have written off the space.

🔥take: we are entering the decade of the “Learning Economy,” which spans way beyond traditional education. More🔽
1/ First, #edtech is much broader than we think. It's not just about academic tools and student/teacher tech. The Learning Economy, as we think of it, encompasses all the diff ways we develop as human beings, be it learning to be a better boss, parent, or friend, or a new hobby.
2/ People have hypothesized all sorts of reasons why venture outcomes are difficult: limited TAM, lack of consumer willingness to pay, difficult b2b sales, growth trajectories different from traditional consumer internet companies…
But these dynamics have changed since Covid.

Hailed by some as the great equalizer, the beneficiaries of ed tech tend to be white and affluent. Focused on equity by design, Dr. Reich observes that when teachers learn, they have insufficient opportunities to practice. (2/3)

How can I use #EdTech SaaS ideas to start a Startup?
Launch an EdTech SaaS platform that connects tutors with students. This can be done through various platforms, so there is plenty of room for innovation and differentiation.
Create a software as a service for educational institutions. To build your business model, look at how other edtech companies are successfully making money and how they are collaborating with schools and teachers.

they scheduled 3 classes after which they have been cancelling my husband's classes saying they don't have server access or sometimes the instructor's internet doesn't work. It's been around a month and they have not been able to deliver what was promised
I have already raised a consumer grievance, dropped an email to them via national consumer helpline but there is no redressal as these people just doesn't care. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that there are many others who are facing the same

1/ For our #Edtech project with @chimple_org and UBS Bank, we’ve implemented this crypto-economic primitive called AlphaBonds.
Our aim was to achieve alpha, reduce negative externalities (dependency), and increase positive externalities (strengthening education services).

This meant replacing TradFi Development Impact Bonds, which are very centralized, have lots of intermediaries, and costs are high. 🏦

Thinking about rubrication and manuscripts. I feel like I ought to build a Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey script that takes initial capitals online and makes them large, red, even historiated /illuminated.
Or perhaps something that converts the CSS of @Hypothes_is highlights and makes the letters red instead of having a yellow background? #EdTech
A bit reminiscent, but of a different historical period than the index card idea.

#Privacy et #edtech, autre réflexion parfois entendue : "face aux appétits du secteur privé, il faudrait que les états développent leurs propres outils..." ➡ pourquoi ce n'est pas forcément une bonne idée, fil n°2️⃣.
Déjà, parce que de tels outils existent déjà : le rapport d'@hrw nous en donne un aperçu global, avec 42 états proposant leurs propres outils, développés à des fins de #ContinuitéPédagogique pendant les mois de COVID-19 et les confinements successifs. hrw.org/report/2022/05…
Sur ces 42 gvts, 39 ont développé (et prescrit !) des outils intégrant des dispositifs de suivi publicitaire. Pourquoi de telles pratiques ? Le rapport ne donne pas de réponse, mais il est possible (et nécessaire !) de s'interroger... à quelles fins ? Pour quel gain ?

Edtech company #PhysicsWallah, which is also known as PW, is the latest Indian #startup to enter the #unicorn club. The company has raised $100 million in a Series A round from Westbridge and GSV Ventures, at a valuation of $1.1 billion.
A #unicorn, in #startup parlance, is a company valued at over one billion dollars. #PhysicsWallah is the first edtech company to hit this milestone this year. Overall, it is the 101th company in India to achieve this distinction.
These two tweets came through my feed in rapid succession.
The first is from a well-followed teacher influencer.
We probably don’t talk enough about the face that #edtech has served primarily as a distraction in schools, not an accelerant of good instruction.

In the meantime, you can read this, from @edukings. It’s mostly about literacy, but it’s a reminder that Ed tech gobbles up district budgets. Generally with low payback.
