"What are the assumptions about learning embodied in the algorithms? When I was a junior in high school, my English teacher asked our class to read Hamlet and to write an essay on the line, 'There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.' Not surprisingly, given that he was the school’s minister, he believed this line was the “most significant” in the play. Unfortunately, its significance—how, in my teacher’s words, it was “central to making sense of the play”—was lost on me. I wrote a wretched essay, most of which made no sense to me or him."

"As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to redefine the way we work, learn and live, Gen Z is emerging as early adopters. Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to individuals born between approximately 1997 and 2012. This generation is already using AI tools in creative and practical ways.
