In EdTech, We are Having
the Time of Our Lives
It was the best of times, it was, well, even better than that. It was the time of our lives. Being in the EdTech biz, I think we can safely say that.

(Conferencing) The Future of Education Technology
AI, VR, XR, SEL, AR, ML, and BCI were among some of the acronyms to fill the halls at the recent Future of Education Technology Conference, or FETC, that I recently attended in New Orleans, LA. Granted, given the powerful title of this event, I was desperately seeking the next big thing(s) that the market could not live without. Despite the disruption eruption and acceleration celebration of new technologies that lay claim to such, including whiz-bang, non-acronym-based innovations that simply solve problems by doing things better, faster, and/or less expensively in the Education Technology space, I walked away with more questions than answers.

DATA:
Is ‘Hands Off’ the best way to go for districts?
This is something school districts have talked about for years. They have dreamed about it. They have danced around it. They have spent billions to warehouse it. They have pulled their hair our worrying about it. They have worked their teachers to tears, to exhaustion, and often to quitting to try to organize and control it. They have stockpiled untold quantities of it. They can’t live with it, and they certainly can’t live without it. They can’t get a moment’s piece because of it. And if there was a company that could simply handle it for them, then that company would be opening a new world for them.

An English Teacher’s Reflections On Good Writing In An AI World
By Alli Minch
Even with 28 years of classroom experience, I’m often surprised by the impact of technological innovations on my teaching. So, the articles about ChatGPT answering questions and generating college-level essays just blew my mind.
Designing Protection Against Ransomware and Cyber Attacks
As a person who has dedicated his life to technology, I can tell you with the utmost certainty that every school and educational environment can be modified to be protected from both cyber and ransomware attacks.

The AI Coach by Edthena is a first-of-its-kind solution that helps schools and districts provide all teachers with more coaching in order to improve teaching effectiveness. The AI Coach platform uses artificial intelligence to guide teachers through coaching cycles aligned to common growth areas. The AI Coach platform personalizes the coaching cycle for each teacher’s self-identified focus areas, complementing the efforts of school leaders and instructional coaches and enabling teachers to receive the benefits of coaching in-between their person-to-person coaching and mentoring conversations.
ShareTheBoard is whiteboard AI that enables educators to deliver a front-row experience to students – no matter where (or when) they’re learning from – by instantly turning any whiteboard into an interactive teaching device. ShareTheBoard puts educators – not digital tools – front and center. It gives them the comfort of using their historically preferred teaching tool when addressing remote students. In turn, students enjoy the familiarity of seeing their teachers in a natural context.
