In the Chronicle last week (paywalled, but you can find it in the archive at A70mF) MIT's Justin Reich argued that we should 'stop pretending we know how to teach AI'. This perspective is reflected in this guide, but instead of then stopping at page two, it proceed through the 56 page PDF to pass along a lot of what can only be called 'folk knowledge' about AI, based on "over 90 interviews with teachers, school administrators, and students about the impact of AI on education." To me it felt like reading stuff like "we don't know whether monsters eat children, but here are some thoughts on that." The report includes discussions of AI ethics, its impact on students and teachers, how to create AI policies, how do decide whether to allow AI use, and similar commentary of the sort you would get reading discussion boards and social media. To be fair, there's a good set of resources listed near the end of the report, but it isn't clear these were used to inform it.
