The biggest mistake teachers make with AI? Vicki Davis (@coolcatteacher) says: teaching like it doesn't exist.
Her rule instead: if you turn it in, be ready to defend it out loud.

This week I was stretched thin - and yet in the midst of a cray cray week, there were deeply human moments that tell me that what I am doing makes a difference. Teachers - what you do matters! reacheverystudent.com/p/stre… #teachers #ReachEveryStudent
Everybody can write a perfect email now. So where are deals actually being lost? The moment someone has to look up and have a real conversation, says @DonWettrick
Being human, even a little flawed, is now a real advantage.

I'm looking forward to sharing at this conference about how to effectively run Oral Assessments in the age of #AI. Come see me this November.
How can we use oral assessment to enure our students understand?

AI practice is transforming oral assessments. Students are using tools like Flint K-12 to simulate exam questions, leading to impressive preparation and performance. It's not just about answering, it's about being ready. #EdTech #AIinEducation
Students are acing oral assessments, and the Mastery Flip is taking off in Argentina! Teachers are now leading the Mastery Flip in Spanish. This week, we're diving into what makes these initiatives so successful. #Education #MasteryFlip
Oral Assessments are working - and this week my students have come to expect it and they came prepared. It was amazing! #edtech #AI #AIinEd #ReachEveryStudent reacheverystudent.com/p/my-s… #edutwitter
I had a chance to sit down with Harvard professor Tony Wagner, Author of Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World and The Global Achievement Gap. He has 7 survival skills- he gave me an 8th for the age of AI #AI #AIinEd reacheverystudent.com/p/tony…
Big step for #MasteryFlip: our first fully Spanish-language self-paced course, "Mastery Flip: una introducción al aprendizaje para el dominio," just launched with Plataforma Guacurarí — free for teachers across Latin America. Grateful for this partnership and excited to see where it goes.

Teaching can be unpredictable! In one class, students who used AI practice tools aced their Vivas with minimal prodding. In another, deeper questions stumped honors physics students. Flexibility is key! #TeachingTips #EdTech #Physics
Is analog education the secret weapon for better test scores? This video explores the Mastery Flip model and its surprising impact. Have you seen this in action? #EdTech #Learning #Education
Planning to integrate oral assessments into summative evaluations? I just completed my first, and I'm sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Tune in for the unfiltered experience. #EdTech #Assessment #Teaching
A Harvard researcher just told me the one rule for learning in the AI era.
It's not enough anymore to just watch your own thinking.

Starting the school year with student selfie videos is a great way to connect. Asking students to talk about themselves, their hobbies, and interests for 2-3 minutes builds rapport from day one. #EdTech #StudentEngagement
The AI debate in EdTech is missing the point. It's neither purely awesome nor entirely bad. Navigating AI in education requires a careful, balanced approach. #EdTech #AIinEducation
Connect with parents and students through 2-minute weekly video updates! Share what's happening in class, show examples, and build a strong home-school connection. This 15-minute activity pays huge dividends when students need extra support. #TeacherTips #ParentEngagement
MIT just told its own faculty to rethink how they teach and assess in the age of AI.
One line stopped me: the only thing left that proves real learning is watching someone reason through a problem live — something AI can't fake.
I've been doing that for 2 years. I call it the Mastery Viva.
They have sabbaticals. I have August.reacheverystudent.com/p/they…
If you send home cognitively complex homework right now, you're crazy.
A new study tracked 26,811 students for 30 months. AI use raised homework scores — and gutted exam scores. But only for 80% of users. The other 19%, who didn't let AI shortcut their effort, barely lost anything.
The difference wasn't the tool. It was the design.

Have you guys seen this report from July 2026? 26,000 students in China - Students did better on homework when using AI. Their homework took them less time....and...their exam scores plummeted. When students use AI to "help" them, they are actually hurting themselves. We must rethink homework and design our classrooms such that we preserve the productive struggle of learning.
