5. Technology should strengthen what make us human.
“If we can hold on to that human spark, that no algorithm can replicate, then AI won’t be the end of problem solving. It will be the beginning of solving problems we've never had the power to tackle before.” —Anika Kumar, high school senior
4. In order to move ahead, we must look back.
“Let's remember to look both ways: in front of us, for paths of discovery, and behind us, for innovations of the past that have relevant implications for the present and future.” —Maisha Winn, faculty director of Equity in Learning at the Accelerator.
3. Teachers are on the front lines of implementing emerging tech.
“Teachers need help now, and you need to have national and state level programs for teachers, because teachers are the people who set the tone." —Ivo Visak, CEO of the AI Leap Foundation in Estonia
2. Don’t fall for the myth of the average student.
“Design for students who have been left out. Design for students who have the biggest gaps in their education, the highest levels of trauma. If you do this, the tools you develop are going to work for all students.” —High school teacher Adam Siegel
1. AI is a design opportunity for teaching and learning.
“Our AI future is a design problem, not a prediction problem." —Stanford professor Rob Reich
Researchers, educators, tech devs, learners, and funders need to exercise our agency by setting goals and co-designing tools proactively.
This week, ~400 educators, administrators, researchers, and edtech professionals convened on Stanford campus for our annual Accelerate Edtech Impact Summit, themed "Future-Ready by Design." Here are 5 key takeaways from the day ⬇️
