"Every executive today understands one thing: there is too much information. The internet became a firehose, and it never really stopped. Relentless. High-pressure. Impossible to fully absorb. For years, organizations responded by building learning systems to manage that overload: courses, academies, knowledge bases. Then AI arrived. And suddenly, the problem seemed solved. No more firehose. Just answers. Clean. Fast. Focused. But in solving one problem, we've quietly created another: tunnel vision."

"The implications of AI literacy, or lack thereof, are far-reaching. They extend beyond national ambitions to remain “a global leader in this technological revolution” or even prepare an “AI-skilled workforce,” as the executive order states. Without basic literacy, citizens and consumers are not well equipped to understand the algorithmic platforms and decisions that affect so many domains of their lives: government services, privacy, lending, health care, news recommendations and more. And the lack of AI literacy risks ceding important aspects of society’s future to a handful of multinational companies."

"Chromebooks are scattered all around the classrooms of Floyd M. Jewett Elementary School in Mesick, Michigan. Towers of them are teetering atop bookshelves. They’re piled up in corners of classrooms. They’ve even cropped up in one classroom’s dish rack. But there’s one place you won’t find them: in students’ hands. Last month, Mesick Consolidated Schools banned digital devices in its elementary school of about 250 students. The decision wasn’t an agonizing one. The ban came at astonishing speed, almost overnight, after a conversation between Mesick Superintendent Jack Ledford and Jewett Principal Elizabeth Kastl."

"As global education systems evolve to meet rapidly changing workforce demands, micro credentials are gaining traction as a flexible complement to traditional degrees rather than a replacement, according to international policy bodies and education experts. Micro credentials, defined by the European Union as certifications of “learning outcomes of short-term learning experiences,” are designed to provide targeted, skills-based learning in a shorter timeframe."

"How can we teach and work in what Adam Aleksic calls our ‘hypermediated reality’? I spoke today at EdTech World Forum in London on Education in an Age of Brain Rot, AI Slop and Cognitive Offloading. The title is not elegant, like my usual efforts… But it tries to capture the feeling many of us now have about the internet in general, and AI in particular."

"Meaningful learning should not be about memorization or developing the ability to solve problems for which solutions are already known. Rather, it should focus on doing, experiencing, questioning and deciding, engaging with ideas in context, testing them against reality, and developing the ability to act thoughtfully under conditions of uncertainty. This is the foundation of both a Socratic and a polytechnic education, where the emphasis is not simply on the acquisition of knowledge, but on critical thinking, challenging assumptions, and developing the capacity to use knowledge adaptively, critically, and responsibly."

"At the end of 2025, almost nine in ten organizations surveyed by McKinsey in The state of AI in 2025: Agents, innovation, and transformation reported using AI in at least one business function. Ninety-four percent reported they were not yet seeing significant value from those investments. That gap, examined in “Where AI will create value and where it won’t” in the April 2026 issue of McKinsey Quarterly, is not an adoption problem. It is a framing problem. Most companies are using AI to do their existing work faster, when the durable returns require a different kind of work entirely."

"The SAMR + AI Matrix is a structured learning design tool that aligns the SAMR Model with Bloom's Taxonomy, mapping levels of technological use to cognitive demand to guide instructors in determining how artificial intelligence (AI) could impact student work. This matrix is operationalized through a five-step framework that helps instructors deliberately design for the presence of AI in learning experiences."

"Microlearning works for busy people. And that's probably not the type of insight you came here for, but it's a place to start. The strongest argument for microlearning is their convenience. But can and should everything fit into such bite-size content? That's a question I see more and more organizations struggling with. There is no time (or budget allocation) to allow for long-form training that can plausibly resolve all of the many learning gaps. Given the many concerns everywhere around the globe, there is also direction lacking from executives to really focus on noncritical training."

Generative artificial intelligence has unsettled higher education, raising fears that students will lose the ability to think. Drawing on classroom experience and student feedback, we argue that grounded inquiry sharpens judgement in Earth science teaching by limiting AI to set sources and auditing its claims.
