Friday’s “Unplugged” summit was thought-provoking and powerful ✊

Thank you to everyone who came and participated. From lawmakers and public officials to parents, members, advocates and beyond, by working together we helping ensure a bright future for all of our students.

Great to be here today at the @NYSchoolSupts Fall Leadership Summit, with so many incredible education leaders and champions for our public schools like NYS Teacher of the Year Emiliano Geoninatti and Senator @ShelleyBMayer.

I told @NYSUT’s Unplugged summit attendees that I am deeply concerned about children's digital diet. .@GovKathyHochul was very ahead of this. I think it's really important we got the cell phone ban.

In our final panel, we’re joined by @CHUFSD educators and administrators to discuss their policies and how we can envision a future where technology serves learning, rather than learning serving technology.

Our final panel at #Unplugged involves the discussion of where we go from here moderated by @MelindaJPerson and @nysut members and leaders from Croton, NY.

[NYSUT @nysut]

On our third “Unplugged” panel, we’re joined by lawmakers @ShelleyBMayer and @AMRomero109 to discuss how state and local governments can support policies that build human-centered schools.

[NYSUT @nysut]

In our second panel of “Unplugged,” panelists, including @AFTunion’s Randi Weingarten, discuss the different aspects of AI and how we must create the guardrails to ensure technology supports learning — not undermines it.

THANK YOU to Jared Cooney Horvath for joining our @nysut Unplugged Conference as our keynote speaker and sharing the importance of what human connection really brings to learning — empathy.

[NYSUT @nysut]

Tech was promised to be revolutionary in freeing our kids from rote memorization, but instead it’s succeeded at just that — hindering adaptive learning and creativity.

We’re thrilled to be joined by keynote speaker Jared Cooley Horvath, author of “The Digital Delusion.”

Dr.Jared Cooney Horvath author of “Digital Delusion” presenting persuasive research on the effects of technology on learning . Need to bring up to the top position of the books on my desk to read.

[NYSUT @nysut]

In our first panel, “What Have We Learned From a Decade of 1:1 Devices?,” led by @CTLizB, we’re discussing the ways that we can better control the proliferation of technology to have a positive impact on student achievement.

A few gems from Jared Cooney Horvath- “Life literacy becomes digital literacy”. “There’s a difference between use and literacy”. “Tech is not an equity tool”. Our kids are struggling more even with more one to one!! @nysut #unplugged

“Technology is there for experts to get work done, it is not there for kids to learn how to become experts.” — Jared Clooney Horvath.

That’s it, that’s the tweet.
