📢 New blog post alert! Excited to share ALI's thoughts on "Making a Genuine Impact in EdTech, Part 1: Pieces of the Puzzle." In this post, we delve into the disconnect between educational research, technological development, and real-world classroom practice, and offer strategies to bridge this gap. 🎯 Key takeaways: + While current efforts to build frameworks and communities based on bringing together all educational stakeholders are important, these alone aren't enough to make a difference + We need to foster a culture of empathy and collaboration among and across all stakeholders in education + Practical steps to build trust and understanding across research, development, and practice 🔗  Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/g2Sbvi6W Let's connect and discuss how we can collectively create a more impactful EdTech ecosystem! #EdTech #Education #Collaboration #LearningSciences #LearningEngineering

Unlocking the power of effective educational solutions requires more than just technology—it's about crafting a pathway to learning outcomes. 🚀 Dive into our latest blog post to explore how a well-structured Theory of Action can illuminate the journey from concept to classroom success.  https://lnkd.in/gWpmWT3b #EducationInnovation #TheoryOfAction #LearningDesign #LearningEngineering

The NCTM recently released their Position Statement on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mathematics Teaching (https://lnkd.in/g2b3QfMe). 🔍 In our latest blog post (https://lnkd.in/gUm4Tzus), we delve into the nuances of this statement, appreciating its thoughtful stance on the use of Generative AI in mathematics education. We also point to shortcomings of the current position paper, including: * A lack of discussion of collaborative learning. * Unquestioning acceptance of the idea that Generative AI can lead to more culturally responsive education. * The role of students in identifying bias in AI. Read the full post and join the conversation as we dissect the strengths and limitations of the NCTM's perspective, and how to best use Generative AI for math education. #EducationTechnology #MathEducation #AIinEducation #NCTM #EdTech #Teaching #LearningSciences

Isn’t it too late to make end-of-year predictions? Yes, it is, if you are making them for 2024 — But here are my 2025 predictions regarding (what else but) the use of AI in education! In a nutshell: By the end of 2024 disillusionment with the current use of generic AI models for hyperpersonalized education environments will finally set in, and in 2025 we will see AI solutions that are asset oriented, build on student strengths, and support collaboration.
