Students have already seen the responsiveness and flexibility of AI. They are able to articulate their understanding of how Tik Tok and Instagram respond to their engagement. They know that phones push ads to them based on their conversations and predictive habits. It's a language they speak.
The challenge, then, is for the educators to inhabit that frame of mine (phrasing intentional) when guiding students. We need to understand that our realities are different in the present because they have been different for a while. Without that, adults have less buy-in. With that, there's meaningful conversation.
