“The big mistake we have made in the United States is to assume that if we want students to be able to think, then our curriculum should give our students lots of practice thinking. This is a mistake because what our students need is more to think with.” --@dylanwiliam

Educators,
What would make the job of providing equitable instruction better? Not easier, not faster, but better.

Thanks to @AASAHQ and John W. Hannum for reviewing @2pointsomeone's Artificial Intelligence in Schools!
The book offers "much to ponder including advantages and disadvantages of AI in education [and] shares several exciting, almost palpable AI applications available to us today."

Excited to finally announce my lab—the Mathe Lab.
Mathe stands for Models, Analytics, Technologies, and Histories of Education. But μάθε (máthe) is also Greek for "learn!" And we study mathetics using mathematics and a polymathic approach!
