Laptops Did Not Take Away Their Brains. The School Model Did.
"Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath's new book and article argue that when we gave students laptops, student performance declined, so the tech broke their brains. That story skips the real culprits: high-stakes standardized testing that reshaped public schooling, and inequitable access to effective models of learning, not to devices."

OpenSimulator Cybercampus via Dreamland Metaverse
OpenSimulator is an open source multi-platform, multi-user 3D application server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on multiple protocols. It also has an optional facility (the Hypergrid) to allow users to visit other OpenSimulator installations across the web from their 'home' OpenSimulator installation. In this way, it is the basis of a nascent distributed Metaverse.

Teacher burnout has reached crisis levels, and proposed solutions often miss the mark. Another professional development session on self-care. Another webinar on stress management. Another reminder to practice gratitude. These well-meaning interventions place the burden on individual teachers to cope with systemic problems: inadequate funding, unrealistic mandates and stretched resources.

How to effectively use Generative AI in EducationÂ
The OECDâs Digital Education Outlook 2026 argues there are many opportunities but also some risks related to GenAI. GenAI tools can support learning when guided by clear teaching goals or designed specifically for education. However, when AI removes the productive struggle essential for learning, students may complete tasks faster and achieve better immediate results, but their understanding may be less deeply consolidated. This can diminish cognitive stamina, deep reading, sustained attention and perseverance. Without a clear pedagogical purpose, GenAI can foster what researchers call âmetacognitive lazinessâ and disengagement.
