Really enjoyed chatting with @MyEdTechLife last night with @alexasparks_! If you haven't, check out the pod!.
Too often, EdTech is treated like the finish line. As @mrsparkstweets put it, tech should never be the end goal; it is the tool that helps us elevate best practices in teaching and learning. Let’s keep the focus where it belongs: on students and learning outcomes. Ep. 334

@mathillustrated No matter how much we teach our students, no matter how high their achievement at 18, if we extinguish the curiosity and passion for learning that almost all students have when they start school, we will have failed them.

Talked about this in a workshop this morning ⬇️. Seems like online/asynch education is going to need to move some assessment to controlled conditions (e.g. come in person to do your assessment) soon.
Imagine if a student can pay $20/month to be able to say to their computer, "Please log in to Canvas and complete all the assignments due today." That might be the case as of today if @OpenAI's agent is allowed to access learning management systems. @LamaAhmad do you know?.
