EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"In addition to showing students why learning matters, the professors said it is essential to teach students how to use AI tools to augment their learning, just as they will be expected to use AI tools to augment their work upon graduation."

Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI: Evidence-Based Approaches to Pedagogy, Ethics, and Beyond

 

Edited by Joseph Rene Corbeil & Maria Elena Corbeil (2025)

 

🏆 Winner of the 2025 Systems Thinking & Change Division Outstanding Book Award from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology!

 

If you are designing a course that addresses generative AI in education, this award-winning volume provides a research-driven, classroom-ready foundation. Rather than offering hype or fear, this book helps educators:

  • Ground AI integration in learning theory and research
  • Address academic integrity with thoughtful, practical strategies
  • Redesign assessment for an AI-enabled world
  • Explore ethics, bias, privacy, and institutional responsibility
  • Leverage AI to enhance critical thinking and digital literacy


Bookended by historical and forward-looking analyses of AI in education, the chapters move beyond surface-level discussions to provide evidence-based approaches for real classrooms—K–12, higher education, and professional learning environments.

This text is ideal for:

  • Undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs
  • Curriculum & Instruction courses
  • Educational Technology programs
  • Higher education faculty development
  • School technology coordinators and talent development professionals

Diamondstone's curator insight, July 10, 3:18 AM
Artificial Intelligence is playing a significant role in both cyber defense and cybercrime. Security professionals are leveraging AI-powered tools to detect threats faster, analyze suspicious activities, and automate incident responses. At the same time, cybercriminals are using AI to create more convincing scams and sophisticated attacks, creating an ongoing battle between attackers and defenders.read more..https://pressearn.it.com/blog/?s=Technology+

Assessment After AI: Designing Student Work to Show Real Thinking

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Rather than focusing only on how to stop students from using AI, we need to design tasks that make students' thinking more visible. When an assignment asks students to explain their decisions, reflect on the process, make connections, analyze feedback, defend their thinking, and revise their work, learning becomes harder to outsource."

A Principal's Reflections: The Real Solution to the EdTech Backlash is Digital Leadership

A Principal's Reflections: The Real Solution to the EdTech Backlash is Digital Leadership | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
From esheninger.blogspot.com - August 9, 12:15 PM

"When I began my administrative career as principal of New Milford High School, I was far from a tech evangelist. Early on, I was the principal confiscating cell phones in hallways and viewing digital devices primarily as classroom distractions. My journey into digital leadership did not begin with a love for technology, but rather with a stark realization: enforcing compliance and banning devices created an environment completely disconnected from the real world. Shifting my mindset required moving past a fear of screens and recognizing that leadership in the modern era is about leveraging resources to transform instruction, create transparency, and empower learners. Today, as a growing wave of pushback builds against educational technology, that lesson is more critical than ever."

Read more
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Digital Leadership is a strategic mindset and set of behaviors that leverage resources to create a meaningful, transparent, and engaging school culture. It’s about doing what we already do, better. It’s about working smarter, not harder, by enhancing our professional practice through the intentional, strategic use of technology."

How to stop agentic AI from eroding human agency

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"The greatest risk associated with agentic AI—artificial intelligence systems that are designed to autonomously make decisions and act with limited supervision—may not be the disappearance of any single entry-level or mid-management role. The far bigger risk may be the gradual erosion of human decision ownership itself—the decline of human agency."

Why AI Learning Tools Fail Without Instructional Scaffolding

Why AI Learning Tools Fail Without Instructional Scaffolding | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
From ammaramerhbi.substack.com - July 15, 7:22 AM

"We’ve all been experimenting with Google’s NotebookLM lately. Drop a dense, 30-page institutional report or a dry chapter into the platform, hit “generate,” and the result is surprising.

Suddenly, two hyper-realistic AI hosts are talking back and forth, turning cold prose into an approachable conversational audio track. It just feels highly efficient, and it looks like an easy way to help busy students get through material."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Platforms like NotebookLM are useful for lowering access friction and making dense, imposing texts approachable for a broader student demographic. But if we simply host AI-generated audio files on our LMS instances and expect learning to occur on its own, the data suggest we will be disappointed."
