Terrific SchoolAI interview of Oak Canyon Portuguese teacher Priscila Prestes, wherein she discusses the importance of feedback for student learning, and how AI can be used to provide efficient and timely feedback when students need it most. schoolai.com #AIinEdu

I love that UEN has started to develop this toolkit for educators, which includes their HUMAN framework, links to research, and a self-paced course for them to learn more. When teachers learn, students benefit. #AIinEdu #ProfessionalLearning #EduSky buff.ly/40SEq52

I've been thinking about this concept of IT manager as head of HR for the last few weeks, and what this very possible future might look like for schools. #AIinEdu #AIinEducation
