@HizyErika@ModestTeacher No we can't when it comes to kids with learning differences. You may just disagree. I will fight for their rights - because the school system left me behind and I won't let it happen to other kids because you don 't take into account their needs and just go all or nothing.
A kid who can't sign their name is a curriculum problem. Not a technology problem.
Teachers didn't design the rollout. They were handed devices with no training and told to figure it out. That's a leadership failure, not a classroom one.
And AI cheating? I've spent years helping schools build literacy programs around exactly that, because banning it doesn't work. Preparation does.
The answer to bad implementation is never less access. It's better decisions.
A "technology lab" doesn't help the kid who needs text-to-speech during a reading lesson. Or voice-to-text during a writing assignment. Or the student whose IEP legally requires assistive technology access throughout the school day โ not just during a scheduled lab period.
The one-on-one device isn't the problem. How it's being used might be. That's a teacher training and leadership issue, not a technology issue.
Removing access doesn't fix the real problem. It just makes it invisible again.
Let's knock it off with the all-or-nothing hot takes.
Good teachers utilize tech ONLY when it gets them the results they want.
Foolish teachers (and schools) use tech as their blanket strategy.
And tweets like this are rage bait.
Don't advocate for bans that take tools out of the hands of teachers and students.
Advocate for more responsible instructional decisions based on pedagogy and best practice.
Tell that to the kid with dyslexia who finally heard his own story read back to him for the first time.
Or the student with dysgraphia whose ideas were trapped in her head until voice-to-text let them out.
Technology isn't a luxury for these kids. It's access.
But sure. Keep the iPads out of elementary. I'm sure those kids will be fine. I know I wasn't because I had a teacher who thought like you.
@mpjisthefuture2@vbug75@SBCOUNTYFIRE I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. My friends parents (both of them) were killed in this accident as well and we know little about what happened. It so tragic. I am trying to find out more.
@vbug75@SBCOUNTYFIRE I am sorry to ask, but the same for me. My friends parents were in one of the cars and were both killed. We have little information just want to know what happened. Could you also DM me?
Excited to join the U.S. Independent Schools AI Summit this October to share Leading AI with Intention - exploring how schools can innovate with clarity, ethics, and purpose while keeping learning and humanity at the center. #AIinEducation

Join us tomorrow 10/1 at 3pm ET to learn more (or watch later) https://t.co/NL7KbNTUKj
Thatโs not just screen time- tโs learning time.
When students talk through their ideas, they reveal how they think, what they understand, and where they need support. #ai #studenthinking
Blown away by what teachers are creating with @SnorklAppโstudent voice, authentic learning, instant feedback! Join me + Prosper ISD

The AI Literacy Panel You Donโt Want to Miss
Join us tomorrow for an inspiring panel on AI Literacy!
This powerful panel includes: Ken Shelton | Matt Miller | Alana Winnick | Yaritza Villalba | and me!
Weโll be answering big questions about AI Literacy, including themes like the following:
โ Where should schools start? The top policies, training, and resources leaders need to build true AI literacy.
โ From skeptics to super-fans: How coaches can bridge wildly different educator comfort levels with AI.
โ Raising critical thinkers: The essential skills students need to evaluate and responsibly use AI and how schools can help.
โ Choosing your compass: With so many AI literacy ideas available, how can a district pick concepts that best fits its vision and community?

Yesterday ORD was a complete shit show! Zoom into to the see the lines of planes just waiting to leave from the gate area. Now today outages have caused my current plane to sit on a tarmac for hours as an outage is now affecting all flights. Something is not right with @united
