At the beginning of the school year as a classroom teacher, I often sought out activities to spark curiosity, get kids talking, and help them feel part of something special, without spending a great deal of time prepping. Last week I had the opportunity to share some EduProtocols (check out eduprotocols.com if you are not […]
“Ask us what’s working. Ask us what’s not.” These were the words I heard from high school students during a recent panel I moderated on how AI is impacting their education. It was a powerful reminder to treat our students not as mere participants in our classrooms, but as partners in learning. Mountain View High […]
As I have spent a bit of time scrolling social media platforms the past few weeks, I have seen an increasing amount of realistic AI generated images of moments from history, some of which were never actually captured on film, and in some cases, moments that never even happened. I have also seen hyper-realistic, fabricated […]

In an age of AI, where information is released constantly and often contains mistruths or exaggerations, we need to encourage our students to pause, consider, and discuss with each other. Students in the 21st century need to learn how to analyze, reflect, and speak with care.
Legitimate concerns arise when we consider potential negative impacts of artificial intelligence on student writing. After all, generative AI platforms can create an essay in a matter of seconds while it may take students multiple drafts to get a similar result. But rather than seeing AI as an enemy of critical thinking and creativity, what […]
In November of 2022, ChatGPT was released and reached over 1 million users in just 5 days. Educators began to express concern that students would ask generative AI tools to write essays for them.
