We partnered with @Adobe for Education to study how genAI impacts creativity in K12 classrooms. Teachers using @AdobeExpress in standards-aligned lessons saw: - Deeper learning - Higher engagement - Stronger creative thinking - Improved collaboration blog.adobe.com/en/publish/202…

Leanlab Education is taking a summer break from July 3 through July 11. ☀️ The team will be offline during this time and back in action on Monday, July 14.

What an incredible few days at #ISTELive25 collaborating with and learning from the innovators who are reimagining the future of education! Join us today for one last panel, Designing for Impact: Human-Centered R&D in EdTech Innovation, at 4 PM in HBGCC - room 303BC!

What is codesign, really—and how can it transform education? Leanlab's Katie Boody Adorno breaks down how true codesign starts with educators as co-creators of edtech solutions and evolves into collaborative research on what works in the classroom. groundshifts.substack.com/p/what-is-code…

Shifts in education demand collaborative innovation. @AERDF & partners like @LCCollaborative, @LeanlabEd, InnovateEDU & ALI are driving change. Join us at #ISTE2025 & #ASCDAnnual to learn more about regional innovation hubs. Read our blog: tinyurl.com/mwychz3m

READ: Five education innovation leaders–@LCCollaborative, @aerdf, @LeanlabEd, InnovateEDU & the Alliance for Learning Innovation–discuss the potential of regional innovation hubs that enable every learner to be fully seen, supported, and empowered: aerdf.org/can-regional-i…

We are deeply grateful to the incredible teachers who inspire, empower, and support students every day. We hope you feel seen and celebrated—not just this week, but all year long—for your commitment to your students and contributions to your communities. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

"The end goal here is that we actually want to see outsized impact. We want technology to actually live up to its promise of accelerating student outcomes beyond what we’ve seen."

Carefully curated data sets and plenty of teacher testing are required to make artificial intelligence-based ed-tech tools suitable for K-12, experts said in a webinar this week organized by Leanlab Education. govtech.com/education/k-12…

Unable to attend our recent webinars on AI in education? Recordings are now available! leanlabeducation.org/blog/humans-in… Hear from the Leanlab team and industry panelists as they discuss codesigning AI technologies, building teacher trust, and ethical AI development.

By testing AI-powered ed-tech tools in school districts, the nonprofit @LeanlabEd aims to help developers remove use barriers ranging from slow output and content shortcomings to errors that fuel teacher distrust. govtech.com/education/k-12…

Teacher expectations and the reality of AI-powered edtech are not yet aligned. Join Leanlab to discuss this gap on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 12 pm CT during the webinar “Humans in the Loop: Insights from Codesigning AI in Real Classrooms." Register to attend: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
