Two weeks ago, ISTE was deep into its annual conference, what seemingly will be the organization’s final meeting as a stand-alone event.
I wasn’t in Denver to see what was happening and, with the implosion of social media, it has become difficult to follow along with events like this from a distance in something akin to real time.
We have yet another education-related “best of” list compiled by yet another newsmagazine whose relevance petered out early in this century.
Time Magazine presents the World’s Top EdTech Companies of 2024.
In a previous post, I mentioned that many of the sessions at our annual edtech conference, focused on the use of artificial intelligence in the classroom.
I didn’t get to see more than a few minutes of any of those presentations, but since then I’ve reviewed some of the materials posted by the speakers and read much more about the ideas being presented for the use of AI in education.
And it all seems very familiar.
The new school year started this week in DC. Out here in the burbs, kids have been in class longer. Some places in the country, they’ve been going since late July.
And almost all those schools likely have one thing in common: their current number one concern remains “learning loss”.
Certainly there must be some kind of tech fix for the problem, right?
It’s the start of a new school year. And, just as with that other new year’s day, we get lots of prognostication about schools, teachers, and students in the coming twelve months.1
Most are not worth the bytes from which they’re constructed.
