Educators need agency, not just new rules AI is making student learning invisible to teachers. And it’s turning teachers into someone students look past rather than someone they go to. What if teachers could regain their sightlines by doing something they already know how to do — talking to their...

AI reached K–12 classrooms before state policies on its use and role in public education did. States are taking action—but for most, that action is still ad hoc, fragmented, and not keeping up with the pace of change in classrooms and workplaces.

EU Guidelines on the ethical use of artificial intelligence and data in teaching and learning for educators - worth a revisit for North American districts looking at the ethical use of AI in K-12

EU Guidelines on the ethical use of artificial intelligence and data in teaching and learning for educators - worth a revisit for North American districts looking at the ethical use of AI in K-12 | iGeneration - Humane Use of Technology in an AI world (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
Understanding and using artificial intelligence (AI) in education in an ethical and responsible way has become increasingly urgent. Since the first version of these guidelines was published in 2022, there has been an exponential growth in the use of AI by teachers and learners following the wave triggered by public access to generative AI (GenAI). This rapid uptake has created new opportunities and growing challenges for teachers, schools, and the wider community. From a regulatory perspective, the European Artificial Intelligence Act (2024) also has important implications for education. Alongside the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it provides a legal framework based on a classification of risks that schools and teachers must take into account when introducing AI tools into learning and school life

Drawing on international case studies and expert insights, the report
 showcases innovative practices (e.g., student led tool selection,
robotics assisted social learning, peer supported AAC) and identifies
 systemic barriers (e.g., fragmented policy, limited teacher capacity,
inequitable provision).

A pushback is emerging against screen time in school and tech tools woven into education today, with some parents linking it to a range of woes, from waning student attention spans to data breaches that put student privacy at risk.
Elizabeth Aquino's curator insight, September 19, 6:25 PM
I believe the conversation around AI in education should focus on finding a healthy balance and using technology with a purpose, rather than completely banning it from the classroom.
