@aarondinin: Would you be able to find what you need in a library? By the way, I’d just like to apologize to all the people in the library my students definitely disturbed during this challenge. Clearly, library etiquette is something Gen Z-ers need more practice with… 😳 #college #dukestudents #professor #school #askingdumbquestions
I would literally pay to have this be a game night as an adult.

But these kids will remember these random facts now because they battled to learn them! We don’t remember things as well when we just instantly access

I LOVE THIS! You gamified old-school research and they ran with it. I would love to see other challenges, perhaps a writing assignment with paper pen/pencil, dictionary, and thesaurus.

I just realized I haven’t taken my child to the real library in almost 4 years… I think we are going to have to go.

Sometimes in the 90’s someone would ask a question and the library was closed. So we just had to wait to know.

I just found out my kid's school wants to dial back the computer usage next year. They want the kids to use more books. I think its a great idea.

As much as I love this exercise it hurts my heart to hear a college student say they just learned how to use an index

Fun fact, ChatGPT has not read these books. It has the words from the books in its data models and will assemble sentences word by word based on the likely next word. Its a more complicated version of autofill and hallucinates data about 40% of the time. It will never not hallucinate data and should therefore never replace search engines which lead you to primary sources. Please discourage your students from using it as it is wrong almost as often as its right

If anything, this will help them understand why GenX is so angry all the time. We had to find everything out of the hard way.😂

This is called library science. It was a class in junior high to teach us how to use the library.
