Love this from @Amanda_AIforEd at the @AI_forEducation Summit!
Does our approach to AI make adults comfortable or prepare students for their futures?
Students need more than rules. They need judgment to use AI responsibly and recognize when thinking, effort, & struggle matter.

Had a great couple of days in Chicago last week for the Google AI Educator Series!
I appreciated learning how @GoogleForEdu & @ISTE_ASCD are supporting educators as we navigate AI!
Grateful for the invite, the conversations, and the ideas I brought home!

Similar to the Portraits of an AI-Ready Student and Educator we created this spring at @DCGDistrict!
We connected AI readiness to the core values from our strategic plan as part of our effort to support thoughtful, human-centered AI use for students and educators.

Today’s students will enter a workforce shaped by AI. Educators have a responsibility to prepare them.
ISTE+ASCD’s expanded Profile of an AI-Ready Graduate gives schools a shared framework for the human skills students need to partner with AI.

It’s not just about the number of minutes on a screen, it’s HOW that time is used. @ISTE_ASCD #ISTELIVE @RCulatta

Is the anti-screen-time-in-schools movement really driven by evidence?
Adam Sparks examines the pushback against #EdTech.
"This has never been about evidence and reason, but rather emotion and confirmation bias."

PRO TIP: Gamify your notebooks
Don't just read your notes— investigate them. Our new Sherlock Holmes notebook turns studying into an interactive mystery game. Deduce facts, uncover clues, & prove that even the most complex matters can be elementary.

Interesting study about how various AI models might manage communities! Seems a little like AI Sim City.
Researchers let AI models run a simulated society. Claude was the safest—and Grok committed 180 crimes and went extinct within 4 days fortune.com/2026/05/28/ai-mo…

We've been designing AI policies around the assumption that people use these tools to cut corners. This data says the opposite. People are using AI to learn. To get advice. To make better decisions.
I didn't expect to enjoy the Gilded Age Gauntlet so much!
It's an AI-generated Mortal Kombat-style spoof of the Robber Barons from The Fluffy Mage on Reddit.

This week’s challenge: Pick one recurring workflow and ask: What part of this should remain human? What part is just the messy middle? Save this post and bring that question to your next cabinet meeting.

Keeping up with ed tech has always been hard, but with AI and everything coming out, it’s probably harder than ever. That’s why I love sharing this resource so much!
Almost 300 tech and instructional coaches shared their "One Best Thing" right now, and here are the results:

There are so many incredible ideas here that you’ll have plenty to explore, learn from, and use to help you level up and try something new 😀
A huge thank you again to every coach who contributed during National Coach Camp 🙏
Bookmark it, share it whenever you’d like. I can’t imagine anyone who won’t find this helpful!

Unsurprisingly, study confirms preservice teachers trained on AI-mindset, rather than just tools, used AI more effectively.
Effective AI use is more about thinking than about tools!

Yes! Tech integration shouldn't be about the tech, but about learning. Our PD needs to focus on pedagogy, not the tools. This is how we see the benefits of technology!
As always, @jmattmiller nailed it in, "Why our tech PD has failed — and how to save it"

So the question I'm posing for educators is what kind of thinkers do you want to develop?
Because AI doesn't just change what students can do, it changes how they feel about learning.
That makes the educator's role more important than ever.🎙️
