In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping education, a crucial question emerges: How can we harness AI to support social-emotional learning (SEL) and cultivate empathy in our increasingly digital classrooms? This post explores the intersection of AI and SEL, highlighting innovative approaches to create more supportive, empathetic learning environments. The Critical Role of…
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Computing is an approach to artificial intelligence and machine learning where human judgment is integrated into the decision-making process. Instead of allowing AI systems to operate completely autonomously, HITL ensures that humans are involved in key stages of the process, particularly in training, validating, or adjusting the system. This approach helps enhance the…
In a world increasingly driven by digital technology, it’s often easy to overlook the importance of human connection and emotion in our development. But as educators, parents and community leaders, we must acknowledge that social and emotional dimensions of learning are just as important as academic ones. This blog post promises to help you understand…
This summer, I was driving out to present a workshop on AI at CSPD (Computer Science Professional Development) Week. Me, Myself, and I, by De La Soul came on the radio. While in the session, we were discussing the capabilities of generative AI in our lives. To this, I wanted to know if an AI…
Have you ever wondered how your phone knows what you’re about to type next or how video games get so good at predicting your moves? That’s all thanks to something called Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short. AI might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s actually a part of our everyday…
As the tides of technological change sweep through industries, education stands at an inflection point. Increasingly, some educators are exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) could revolutionize the way we learn and process information. But what if we could couple these advanced technologies with the proven power of experiential learning? This tantalizing…
When we think about the future of learning, our minds often wander to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These technologies have the potential to revolutionize how we learn and process information. But what if we could couple these advanced technologies with experiential learning? Good friend Anna CohenMiller pinged me on this topic recently,…
The concept that a republic does not need geniuses may seem counterintuitive to many, given our society’s emphasis on individual greatness and exceptional intelligence. However, a deeper exploration of this idea reveals profound wisdom underneath its surface. In this blog post, we will dissect why a republic system does not necessarily require geniuses to function…
The world is a vast tapestry of diverse perspectives and unique worldviews. Yet, we often find ourselves trapped within the confines of our own biases and assumptions. This limited perspective can hinder our growth and understanding, obscuring the rich complexity of life beyond our own experiences. But what if we could step outside ourselves? What…
In our rapidly evolving digital world, we often find ourselves grappling with cyber challenges, software bugs, and system crashes. Historically, there has been a tendency to blame users when things go wrong, with phrases like “Read the friggin’ manual” (RTFM) implying that the fault lies with the user’s lack of understanding. However, as user experience…
