Educators hardly need any evidence that games are extremely attractive for school-age children, as their classrooms daily surge with non-stop conversations about the latest video games. Like a mid-day shot of espresso, gamification can facilitate increased learning and deeper levels of content retention in K-12 students. Keep it Fun!

The ‘college and career’ students are preparing for is different so the education model must be different. This includes online dictionaries and thesauruses, how-to videos, and access to teacher assistance outside of class. Our classrooms are more diverse.

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.

Ed was never officially a “test pilot”, but he told me stories about figuring out how to take his plane higher than anyone else—and achieving weightlessness by flying his plane in a perfect free-fall trajectory by maintaining an eraser floating in midair in front of him. But actually Ed had already been involved much earlier with Project MAC.
