"Before having my students use edtech, I always ask myself, 'Is this helping them perform a task they’ve already mastered, or is it bypassing the thinking they need to do to learn it?'” edutopia.org/article/limiti… #ai #teacehr #learning @NewsHourExtra @JonHaidt

Shame — shame on @ACT and @CrimsonEdu for selling fear to students and parents. medium.com/age-of-awarene… #edchat #collegeadmissions #indyschool #collegeprocess #college #university

Excited to offer this workshop next Saturday at @BBNSchool. I'm really looking forward to their AI Exchange, and I so appreciate their openness to my session (below): Teach First. Tech Later: Working Down from Technology in the AI Classroom (David Cutler, @brimmerandmay) Join veteran high school history educator and frequent Edutopia writer David Cutler for a practical look at why and how he limits technology in his classroom. Learn about his “working down from technology” framework, prioritizing human-centered instruction over screens. Ask questions, engage in conversations, and leave with practical strategies to ensure genuine understanding—not just the feeling of it—drives student learning. #edtech

As parents fret over little kids’ classroom screen time, school officials in Cambridge are weighing a ban trib.al/e6eFfef

As a veteran teacher, please stop with the screens—whether for AI or EdTech. They are not the answer and should be limited in the classroom, except in production and computer science courses. @JonHaidt, I can't seem to say this persuasively enough, no matter the science behind my claim?!

This is how I approach #edtech and #AI in the classroom. You should, too!

Please help my amazing student journalists reach 500 followers on Instagram! They are so close! Follow @BMSGator on X and @bmgator on Instagram.

“Teachers are being told to rethink everything, not because the evidence demands it, but because the moment feels urgent and no one wants to be caught flat-footed.” — David Cutler medium.com/age-of-awarene…
