The pace of iterations is exhausting for educators, and the degree to which teachers and administrators are willing to beta test AI tools ranges; there is an inherent vulnerability to learning alongside your colleagues and your students. Not everyone is open to that. To me, that speaks to a broader cultural shift that schools have long needed.

Indeed. It’s exhausting for us early adopters as well. I spend a lot of time testing things so my colleagues don’t have to. Of course, unpaid hours 😕

Wow, what a fantastic read this is. I have very fond memories of and huge respect and love for teachers - because I watched many great teachers help my daughter take full advantage of her huge brain. That also gave me an opportunity to see how (at least here in the US) terribly overworked and underpaid teachers are.

I can't imagine why any teacher would not want to read this, and then read it again, and then save it , learn from it and soak in all your wisdom Alicia.
