From the Cool Cat Teacher Blog by Vicki Davis Subscribe to the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts. The conversation around artificial intelligence in education has evolved from fear and uncertainty to practical implementation and ethical considerations. In this episode of Cool Cat Teacher Talk, I sit down with two trusted voices on educational technology and AI: Eric Curts from Ohio and Gabriel Carrillo from San Antonio, Texas.

School shouldn’t just be a place to learn academic skills, but a place for students to practice making meaningful decisions about their learning and lives. I personally never faced a weighty decision about my learning until I had to declare a college major. In grade school, I was a confident student who knew how to ace tests and please my teachers. Once I got to college, however, my A-student record failed me.

My Facebook feeds are full of teachers discussing the results their students received on the AP CS exams. Lots of the thrill of “victory” and the agony of “defeat.” I can relate. The thing is that most of the results are a lot more dependent on the students than the teachers. If the student does the work all course long they are likely to get a good grade on the exam.

As classrooms across America become increasingly diverse, with growing populations of multilingual learners and students from various cultural backgrounds, school districts face a critical challenge: selecting educational technology that truly serves all students. According to the latest data from the National Center for Education Statistics, there were 5.3 million English learners in K-12 public schools in the fall of 2021, up from 4.6 million in the fall of 2011.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

While social media, bullying and loneliness have long been flagged as top concerns among educators for their students, a new report shows the biggest concern for kids is balancing it all. The kicker: Students didn't share these concerns with adults in their lives. Instead, they expressed these worries to an AI chat system, which schools and health care institutions are increasingly turning to in an attempt to better support youth.
