A good bit of the conversation around AI in education assumes students who are self-regulated and self-determined. Lots of students need structure and good prompting.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Conan O’Brien saw it and an unauthorized sign says it: The Zakim Bridge may look like part of male anatomy - The Boston Globe It’s not clear who put up the sign, which looks quite official and at least somewhat expensive to make.

The mystery. The sophomoric humor. The shade thrown on Brookline at the end. This story has everything!

‘Fresh brewed news’: Community café offers locals a chance to sip with reporters It’s no surprise that news outlets are struggling for both dollars and trust. In Camden, Maine, a local newspaper opened a café to welcome in the community.

Coffee and local news are two of my favorite things, so it was a pleasure to talk to The Christian Science Monitor about how a midcoast Maine local newspaper is building audience trust by opening a community cafe. www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/...
