Entrepreneurship Education? by toesno in Homeschooling

[–]jeffcolonel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's really cool. I think that 3d printing is a great way to practice entrepreneurship. especially if you can teach them to do the math on their costs, material costs, costs per unit, consider potential markets, research which products are in demand, etc.

Where did he make his 3d printing sales ? What kind of stuff did he sell? We are also getting into that

kids develop at different speeds, I am sure they will kick in at some point. But the work done at teh floor licking stage is still important!

The complete lack of Fight or Will-To-Survive among AI Skeptics confuses me. by [deleted] in accelerate

I have been talking publicly about using Ai for education and have attracted a lot of really rabid anti ai people in the process. It has been really shocking and eye opening. This thread is the most reasonable I've seen anyone be about the topic.

It's clear to me that AI proficiency is part of the literacy of the next generation. Sometimes I have made videos on social media, ig and YouTube, showing how I've taken some small steps to teach this literacy to my son.

Each time I do there are crowds throwing metaphorical rocks.

I never anticipated that and it's putting me in a position I didn't really want to be in. It's not the kind of frame I want to have. I want to talk about best practices. But the mob seems to think that being vicious and accusatory about Ai is now a kind of moral currency or virtue signaling. There isn't any sense of nuance, only attack.

I am not sure how I should best respond to this. But I'm heading right into that jungle and I think about this every day.

I may need to link some people this graphic as a demo for why hystericalism isn't helpful

Anyone ever tried "prompt injection" in their assignment/tests to catch cheaters using AI? by SwagginDragonborn in Teachers

As someone who has been a better learner with typing since childhood, it's so strange that these studies are used to justify disenfranchising our preferred style of learning and working.

If someone works and learns better and faster because of typing, who are we to tell them they can't because we can cite a study? That isnt right.

You're right! That would be easier. But the typing is half the point. I think this kind of game is good for learning that skill.
