I love that UEN has started to develop this toolkit for educators, which includes their HUMAN framework, links to research, and a self-paced course for them to learn more. When teachers learn, students benefit. #AIinEdu #ProfessionalLearning #EduSky https://buff.ly/40SEq52

While some in education might say Goodhart's Law applies to the use of common formative assessments, others would argue that working toward an assessment-measured goal can produce collective teacher efficacy. What are your thoughts? #Leadership #SchoolImprovement

Fascinating to see so many in Higher Ed proclaim that the flipped classroom is now the only viable option. What does this drastic shift mean for K12? How long will our teachers continue to pretend that K12 students don’t have constant access to AI? #AIinEdu

With so much dooms day fear-mongering out there recently about the use of #AIinEdu, I'd like to reemphasize what AJ Juliani has written: AI is not going away, no matter how much we wish it were. Our task as school leaders is to prepare others to use it well.

This knee-jerk reaction from the Utah legislature and those who enforce it does nothing more than cause additional student interest in reading banned books.
