Tech-Based Teaching (@edutecheditor.bsky.social)

OPINION: In the rush to adopt new AI technologies, let us not forget about the human touch Right now, we are asking the wrong questions about AI in education. The conversation is dominated by asking what the technology can do — How fast can it generate content? Personalize practice? Analyze data? But far less attention is being paid to what students need from the K-12 academic experience to develop critical thinking and analysis skills, and the role human relationships play in that process. I see that gap clearly as a parent. My daughter — a student in an excellent public charter school — has selective mutism, which means that in many school settings, she can’t reliably use her voice with adults. https://hechingerreport.org/opinion-in-the-rush-to-adopt-new-ai-technologies-let-us-not-forget-about-the-human-touch/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
