"AI in higher education is not going away, but without checks and balances, regulation and usage guidelines, it threatens to undermine the value of the entire academic experience." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"One theme that emerged consistently in our research was students with learning differences finding in AI what traditional educational structures never provided: accessible support that meets them where they are." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"[S]chool districts are misinterpreting expert opinions regarding excessive screen time. These...are intended to address excessive time dedicated to video gaming, “social” media, and nonacademic uses of AI technology" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"[T]he vast majority of teens who use AI for schoolwork do so without clear guidelines from their teachers, turning generative tools into an easy shortcut rather than an educational aid simply because no one ever taught us how to use them properly." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #AIEdu

"With AI agents increasingly part of the workforce, what will human contribution look like?" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"[T]he AI Framework for Educator Preparation, a national resource designed to help educator preparation programs navigate the opportunities and challenges of AI while keeping human expertise and professional judgment at the center." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"The debate is shifting from how to make increasingly powerful AI safe toward whether competing labs should coordinate to slow capability development itself." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"In response to a growing AI and screentime backlash, Microsoft announced last week it had agreed to adopt guardrails and privacy standards for its AI in schools, as negotiated with the American Federation of Teachers" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

“AI can play a role in democratizing access to information about the process itself, as well as being a starting point for thinking about what types of accommodations parents may want to ask about,” #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"AI doesn't know the difference between your official escalation procedure and the abandoned draft course someone started before they left the company. It just knows both exist, both use the right vocabulary, and so it treats both as valid input" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"That's the conversation schools should be having about technology more broadly. Don't start with the tool or the number of minutes. Start with the learning and decide what tools are best to achieve the desired outcomes." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Online learning is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, and the platforms that treat AI as a tool rather than a threat are pulling ahead. The winners are building habits and credentials that AI cannot easily copy" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Strip away the eras and the same shape repeats: each one handed the field a lesson worth keeping and a habit worth dropping, and the field reliably kept the habit." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"A blanket tech ban is the easy move, but it’s also a lazy one — one that deepens inequities between families with the resources to use technology well, and those who don’t." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"California teens will be barred from “addictive” social media products and limited in their interactions with chatbots under two of the 13 bills signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom today to protect kids online." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Anthropic and OpenAI researchers raised fresh concerns about recursive self-improvement, the process by which AI helps improve the development of models...Researchers fear humans could eventually lose control of increasingly capable systems." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"[T]wo educators trace what happened after a student said something that could have been dismissed as attitude but turned out to be something else entirely." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"We draw a line between technical accessibility and what we call practical accessibility. A site can meet every criterion in WCAG 2.1 AA and still be genuinely hard to use if the people building it never designed alongside the people who’d rely on it." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning

"[F]riction may be the primary mechanism by which learning transforms the human mind. At present, AI is helping to remove this cognitive struggle from the thinking process, treating it as the exhaust of learning." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"Chromebooks, tablets and online learning platforms have become part of modern education, and today’s students need digital literacy to succeed in college and the workforce. Pretending otherwise ignores reality." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu
