AI can be a powerful tool for learning. But it requires safety considerations and human oversight to ensure that educators harness the benefits and avoid the pitfalls. We gathered best practices for integrating AI in schools including interviews with EdTech experts and recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education. Use the guide to achieve educational goals while minimizing the risks.
When Galveston ISD leaders saw a notable dip in student performance, they decided to set forth on a growth journey—starting with the implementation of integrated edtech solutions. We sat down with Galveston leaders and educators to discuss the district's plan of action that resulted in incredible student gains.
On today's episode, Dr. Kecia Ray is joined by Susan Gentz, an education policy expert and founder of BSG Strategies, with experience as a legislative aide in the Iowa House of Representatives, a staffer in the U.S. Senate, and as Deputy Executive Director for the Center for Digital Education.
Edtech expert, Dr. Kecia Ray, recently sat down with Jerry Almendarez, the superintendent of Santa Ana Unified School District in California, to discuss embracing AI with the help of teachers and stakeholders.
