Excellent advice for all school leaders. Creating a powerful culture of growth means that all school community members should embrace the opportunity to learn.

Searches on Safari dipped for the first time in 22 years, Apple’s Eddy Cue admits, and it’s because more people are using AI instead of Google https://t.co/5sR4eeBc1J

Instructional coaching is one factor many school leaders agree is essential for supporting teachers’ work & students’ learning, especially when coach time is protected for actual coaching.

This week's 60 Minutes bit on AI at DeepMind. "It learns like a human being might learn... It's the duality of these types of systems that they're able to do incredible things..."

One of the most interesting TED talks I've ever watched. Awkward, relevant, tense, and with insights that point to a possible future. I think OpenAI's Sam Altman is sincere in his desire to help humanity, and maybe in a little over his head.

Terrific SchoolAI interview of Oak Canyon Portuguese teacher Priscila Prestes, wherein she discusses the importance of feedback for student learning, and how AI can be used to provide efficient and timely feedback when students need it most.

@BeautifulAI_ I see you’ve got this for higher ed. https://t.co/JMvwa7nSP1

High school teachers need this more than college students. Any discounts for K12?

[Darren E. Draper @ddraper]

Great to be able to facilitate a discussion today at Utah's Personalized, Competency-Based Learning Summit! Terrific thinking by participants. It's an exciting time to be in education.

Here are the slides we shared.

@drstephensroka Fantastic keynote! Thank you for your inspirational message and example of kindness. #RTMK12

Interesting Cornell piece on how writing is changing. I still wonder what it means to create, and how well we’ll cite our sources in future works.

Interesting and helpful list of studies, not all peer-reviewed, but helpful. Also still fascinating to see various perspectives on what constitutes "high quality" research.

Looking forward to an exciting #UCET25! Hope to see you at either of my sessions or around the Salt Palace. 👍🏼

What do you hope to learn this week?

[Darren E. Draper @ddraper]

I agree there’s still a lot of confusion in schools about what “AI” is and what it isn’t.

Excellent metaphor describing its current state.

“Digital plastic is, like its physical counterpart, synthetic, ubiquitous, helpful and potentially toxic.”

@oboelabs Some teachers are still worried about that. 🙃

[Darren E. Draper @ddraper]

The more students and teachers understand about AI and its shortcomings, the more critical thinking they’ll practice in its use.

I love working with this incredible team! Hope to see you there. 💪 #UCET25

Check out who is reppin' ASD and the innovative ideas they are presenting at this year's UCET conference! #innovatealpine

I love that UEN has started to develop this toolkit for educators, which includes their HUMAN framework, links to research, and a self-paced course for them to learn more. When teachers learn, students benefit.
