UPDATES
The latest, as it happens.
🎬 A student turned in a video with AI in it. His classmates called it out in seconds. No dude, that is AI. You look stupid. 😅 The students who used AI spent more time hiding it than the honest ones spent making their videos. Their conclusion: not doing that again. 🧠 AI is built to eliminate struggle. Real work requires it. Kids know the difference the moment a real audience is watching. 🎙️ This is one moment from a full hour on Talk Out of School, WBAI 99.5 FM, hosted by Kaliris Salas-Ramirez with Leonie Haimson and Daniel Alicea. The whole conversation is worth your commute. ▶️ Hear the full episode: https://www.wbai.org/archive/program/episode/?id=66679 #PassionForLearning #AcademicCapital #AuthenticLearning #ListenToTheYouth

AI can help students master content. 🤖📚 But PERFORMANCE-based assessment requires something AI can’t replace: a human audience. 👥 Who wants their children presenting to a robot? The same is true in college admissions. 🎓 In a crowded field, students must communicate their authentic voice, character, and potential. When AI takes over, that humanity gets lost, and students may learn the lesson too late. ⚠️ #PassionForLearning #AcademicCapital

📚 School is back, and there is a new kid in every classroom. It reads, writes, and finishes the homework in seconds. Nobody agrees on what to do about it. 🤖 🎙️ I got into it on WBAI's Talk Out of School with Kaliris Salas-Ramirez. Follow her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaliris-salas-ramirez-phd-45626b15/ (with co-hosts Leonie Haimson and Daniel Alicea).

As we bid adieu to the spectacular CCNY STEM Institute Summer 2026 HSCred Pilot, I am amazed by the remarkable team I worked with. The graph illustrates an impressive surge in new student submissions, a testament to the vast potential this initiative uncovers. With expert committees ready to evaluate, the forthcoming publication of this work is exciting. I've had the unique opportunity to preview the incoming videos. Spoiler alert: They're nothing short of phenomenal.
