Kein Scherz: Für die neue Schul-KI #telli ist Olaf Scholz noch Bundeskanzler und Donald Trump kein US-Präsident. Damit sollen Lehrer und Schüler ernsthaft arbeiten? 😵

Feedback Loops — University XP Feedback is an important part of the learning process. Feedback is also really important for games to be engaging and fun. Feedback in education is based on providing the student with tangible information that they can use to improve their learning, knowledge grasp, or retention. Feedback in a game is provided to the player in order to viscerally show them the impact of their actions.

SIIA Opposition to Rhode Island HB7895 (Safe School Technology Act of 2026) - SIIA SIIA opposes Rhode Island HB7895, citing harms to ed tech, teachers, and student learning.

❌ @SIIA opposes RI HB7895.

It would restrict #PersonalizedLearning, limit #AI in classrooms, and add new burdens for schools and teachers.

We support balanced #EdTech policy that protects students and supports innovation.

AI could undermine meaningful learning unless feedback stays rooted in connection, study recommends "The rise of generative AI in higher education is reshaping how feedback is delivered, but meaningful learning could be undermined if its use is not carefully guided by principles of care, trust and connection, according to new research led by the University of Surrey. Published in Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, the paper explores how generative AI technologies, including chatbots such as ChatGPT, are transforming feedback for students—highlighting both the opportunities and risks of AI in education."

"While AI can generate responses at speed and scale, researchers...call for a "care-full" approach—one that treats feedback not as a set of comments, but as an ongoing process of dialogue, reflection and growth." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

“Schools like McPherson say they are not just curbing Chromebooks to reduce children’s screen time. They are also aiming to refocus learning on child development, student-teacher interactions and old-fashioned fun.” (via @NYTimes.com) buff.ly/tzx9C63 #EduSky #EdTech

From low-cost tools to powerful outcomes 💡 Ju Caldas shares how a Brazilian school built a game design lab that boosted creativity, equity, and engagement. June 5–7 | Online 💻 gblconference.com/ #EdTech #Inclusion

The New AI Risk Isn’t What Models Say. It’s What Agents Do "AI agents are starting to look less like chatbots and more like services. They can coordinate tasks, call tools and make changes in production systems without a human reviewing every step. For large enterprises, that autonomy is both an opportunity and a risk. The question is no longer whether an AI system can generate a good answer. It is whether you can govern what the system does."

"When software is allowed to 'do,' not just 'say,' governance becomes an infrastructure requirement." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

The Rise Of AI Policy Firewalls: Why Every AI Agent Will Need A Guardrail Layer "Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly moving beyond chatbots and copilots. A new generation of AI agents is beginning to perform real actions. These agents can access APIs, move money, retrieve data, write code, interact with customers and even coordinate other agents.   That shift raises a simple but critical question: Who is watching what the agent actually does?"

"A policy firewall sits between the AI agent and the systems it wants to interact with. It acts as a checkpoint that intercepts and evaluates every action before it happens." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Video: AI v The Mind: Who has the edge? In a new series, we will test the limits of the latest AI technology by pitting it against human experts.

"The lines between human and AI capability are increasingly blurred. For some that's terrifying, for others it will open up new worlds of possibility." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Learning Mindset: How To Build It In The Age Of AI Explore the concept of a learning mindset and its importance for organizations in today's fast-paced, AI-driven world.

"As AI and automation reshape how work gets done, roles evolve faster than job descriptions can keep up. The half-life of skills is shrinking, which means what employees know today may lose value much sooner than expected." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

A viral case against screens in schools is winning converts. Does the evidence hold up? In his book and Senate testimony, a neuroscientist offers a three-pronged case against screens and edtech in schools.

"There’s no smoking-gun data showing that ed-tech is at the root of, or even contributing to, recent learning declines." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning

Responsible Use Is The New Acceptable Use: One District's Pragmatic Playbook for the AI Era Conversations with Kevin Hogan—Pineville ISD technology coordinator Kenzo Vanhaesebroeck explains why vague-on-purpose policy, a grading scale for AI use, and teacher-to-teacher modeling are the best defenses a small district has against an overnight technological revolution

With every other platform, we had a little bit of a heads up...With AI, we didn't even have a chance to really put policy in place before Google, Meta, all these big companies just said, 'Hey, it's here, it's integrated.'" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

What Do We Teach Now? What are you doing to ensure that the degree and certificate candidates at your institution are prepared to thrive in the new environment that is emerging in this year and next? Technologists, economists and visionaries are warning us that in the next three to 18 months, we are going to experience rapid and pervasive disruption of our professional lives, workplace models and distribution of income. Professional positions requiring college degrees will be lost, remade into highly productive, cost-efficient, hybrid human-AI models where human contributions and compensation will collectively shrink and evaporate.

Designers finally have a say in the product they design. "AI didn’t teach designers to code. It gave them back the decisions that were always theirs."

"For designers who’ve spent years watching their craft get approximated on the other side of a handoff, that’s a meaningful change. The gate was never locked. We just needed tools that made it obvious." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu
