Teaching in the age of AI shortcuts Students will use AI. Here’s what it takes to ensure it strengthens their thinking instead of replacing it.

"[I]f we integrate AI thoughtfully...we can help students build the skills that will matter most in an AI-integrated world: critical thinking, problem-solving and the ability to verify and challenge AI itself." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

AI’s Fatal Flaw—The Most Advanced Models Fail Basic Logic Tests Identifying vulnerabilities is good for public safety, industry, and the scientists making these models.

"LLMs perpetuate human errors like bias, and they make other human-like errors because they don’t have the intuitive scaffolding that helps us learn not to make those mistakes." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Gen Z Teachers Grew Up With Tech. Now They're Seeking Better Boundaries for Students Gen Z teachers grew up in an era of unbridled tech. It shapes how they approach classroom technology.

"Gen Z teachers are the first cohort of classroom educators that entered adolescence just as smartphones became ubiquitous. They grew up with much of their social lives online" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Talk the Talk: Authenticating Student Voice in a Generative AI Era "In an era where generative AI can craft a convincing essay on the French Revolution or a lab report on osmosis in seconds, educators are facing an “authenticity crisis.” We’ve all felt it: that nagging doubt when a student’s written voice doesn’t quite match their classroom persona."

"The VIVA Framework is a structured, two-minute “micro-assessment” designed to confirm that the student who submitted the work is the same student who understands the work." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Few things are more discouraging for students than working hard on a paper and then being accused of not writing it themselves." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Lisa Nielsen: The Innovative Educator: Could the Future of AI Reconnect Us to What Mattered Most? "Much of the conversation around artificial intelligence (AI) is framed in fear. White-collar professionals are increasingly anxious about AI replacing cognitive work once thought untouchable, a concern captured in The Atlantic’s piece on the worst-case future for white-collar workers. Blue-collar workers have their own version of this fear as employers test automation that shows up in the real world as robots and drones doing physical jobs once reserved for people, including delivery and warehouse work, like Amazon’s reported testing of humanoid delivery robots.   The anxiety is real. But what if we are asking the wrong question?"

"Instead of asking how we preserve jobs as they exist today, what if we ask whether working less might actually be progress?" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

The hidden cost of the experience gap For any student finding their footing in a completely new environment, technology should steady the path--not widen the digital experience gap

"When technology creates barriers, it’s harder for students to succeed–and that technology may undermine an institution’s own mission." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

A Comprehensive View of the Role of AI in the University "We are approaching the integration of artificial intelligence into our universities in a piecemeal rather than a comprehensive fashion."

"To date, we have been limited to a kind of Whac-A-Mole approach to introducing AI into higher education." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Key takeaway: Expert educators will use AI to center learners, support knowledge construction, and strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving. #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Cowork reads files on your desktop, modifies documents, creates deliverables, and operates within your working folder — asking for confirmation before significant actions, working autonomously within defined boundaries." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"If the first AI era was about accelerating answers, the next one should be about mining insights at scale." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Where Does AI Meaningfully Fit Into Curriculum And Assessment? "Artificial intelligence is increasingly present in education conversations. Some teachers are experimenting with it. Others are cautious. Many are simply unsure where it belongs or whether it belongs at all."

"Rather than positioning AI as a solution or a threat, educators might consider how, and whether, it aligns with their instructional goals, assessment practices, and professional values." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Learning in the AI age: Education 5.0 Learning in the AI age: Education 5.0 Patrick Blessinger Learning is for human flourishing, but only if we can see flourishing as something more than economic productivity, something more than employability, something more than credentials, though these things are very important.

"The aim of learning today should be to move from survival to meaning, from authority to participation, from control to co-creation, from power to rights, and from fragmentation to coherence." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

With Teens Comfortable Confiding in AI, Should Schools Embrace It for Mental Health Care? Why are students so comfortable using AI for emotional support?

"Navigating budget shortfalls and limited mental health staff, Interlachen Jr.-Sr. High School, where Phillips works, is using an AI platform to vet students’ mental health needs." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Why (and How) Teachers Should Use Generative AI in the Classroom Learn why and how teachers can use generative AI to streamline lesson planning, personalize explanations, and automate retrieval practice—without losing instructional control.

"To guide educators on how to get the most out of generative AI...we picked three important aspects of instructional practice: lesson planning, providing explanations, and retrieval practice." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"[L]ow-income urban school districts are also feeling the brunt of the E-rate expansion reversal — from both an infrastructure and affordability perspective." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Successfully infusing artificial intelligence into the classroom means boosting students’ AI literacy without using the tech to offload their thinking. But that requires teachers first getting up to speed on AI" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Entry-level hiring is more competitive than it was just a few years ago, and routine technical tasks are increasingly supported by automation and AI-enabled tools." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Two New Reports Urge ‘Human-Centered’ School AI Adoption Results of two gatherings make case for visionary yet balanced approaches to AI.

"Retreating from AI, the authors find, creates 'the worst of both worlds' — students who can neither think independently nor use AI effectively." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"[F]ive states are considering legislation this year to limit or ban ed tech to some extent in classrooms — moving beyond widespread prohibitions on students’ personal devices to also include those issued by districts during the school day." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

College students and professors are making their own AI rules More than three years after ChatGPT debuted, AI has become a part of everyday life — and professors and students are still figuring out how or if they should use it.
