How AI deprived my students of the reading struggle they needed to succeed — and five better ways to use it.
"In our world of quick and snappy AI solutions, the leveled text shortcut is all too easy to take, but we should not give in to temptation."

Innovation in PD gives teachers autonomy to pursue PD that benefits their students and aligns with district priorities.
"[D]istricts spent about $18,000 per teacher each year on PD, yet only three in 10 teachers reported meaningful improvement over two to three years."

"In the context of global digital transformation in education and post-pandemic reforms, online teaching has evolved from an emergency response into an essential instructional mode in higher education. Enhancing the quality of university students’ online learning and fostering their capacity for online deep learning (OnlineDL) have thus become key concerns in the educational field."
"Although TP (teaching Presence) shows only a modest direct effect, it indirectly enhances OnlineDL through multiple mediation pathways involving CP (cognitive presence) and LP (learning presence)."

"AI is a powerful partner for UX reviews, not a replacement for the expert, and the accuracy comes from the expertise you feed it, not the model."
"[T]here were problems I hadn’t spotted myself, and that was useful. But there were more that the AI, in turn, didn’t catch."

Unlock new learning opportunities with an eLearning podcast. Discover how they help employees grow and develop in their careers.
"L&D leaders should also consider the balance between push and pull learning models. In a push model, podcast episodes are assigned as part of structured learning initiatives. In a pull model, learners choose content based on their interests and development goals."

Are frontier AI models beginning to write papers better than humans? I ran a comparison, and it's left me more uncertain than ever.
"[W]hile an LLM like Fable can study what it believes to be examples of good human writing, it cannot replicate faithfully a process that draws on our lived experience, our biological heritage, and our emotional and cognitive responses, as much as the technical meaning behind the words."

Learn what good AI governance looks like in instructional design teams, from human review and quality controls to role clarity and risk management.
"[T]he real question is not simply whether AI is allowed. The real question is whether AI is being used in ways that improve design quality, protect judgment, reduce avoidable risk, and build stronger professional practice over time."

Screen time debates should center on if individual technologies, programs, and digital learning experiences support student growth.
"With the growing movement to limit technology in schools, parents and educators are right to question how much time students spend on screens. But, as schools reconsider the role of technology in the classroom, an important distinction is often getting lost in the public conversation: Not all screen time is equal."

As we navigate the educational landscape of 2026, we find ourselves deep in what might be called the "era of the offload," surrounded by personalized systems that promise to simplify our cognitive lives.
"[A]cademic success in an AI-enhanced world depends on ensuring students remain the agents of their own progress, equipped with the resilience to navigate a lifetime of independent growth."

"The artifact just became the cheapest thing in hiring. The room test is the live follow-up you can’t generate, and it’s where interviews actually get decided in 2026."
"The artifact survived and the conversation did not. And the reason this matters more now than it did in 2019 is simple: the artifact used to be expensive to make, it is not anymore."

What happens when a trillion-dollar capability is handed to everyone simultaneously, for free?
"Everything schools have done about AI assumes AI is a service. Services have accounts, age gates, district contracts, content filters, audit logs. Services can be blocked at the firewall. On July 27, frontier intelligence stops being a service and becomes a file. You cannot firewall a file."

"Why does some information stick, while other things seem to go in one ear and out the other?"
"Decades of research have told us that things we selectively pay attention to are much more likely to be processed, because they enter into consciousness and memory...[T]he way that technology has evolved—including built-in advertising—has been about trying to capture that selective attention."

"I’ve been writing for a while about academic role-playing exercises and conversational simulations that are designed to push back. I call them friction bots. When I talk to other educators about their value, especially professors, I often get the question, 'Ok, but what does the research say?'”
"Role-playing has been proven time and time again to be good for learning. Rehearsal is good for the brain, too. LLM’s are really good at mimicking human beings."
