Thanks, Marcus. I think the conversation needs more scrutiny for a range of reasons, including the often-cited "does anyone know if this actually works?" Questioning is important with any new tool, new system. More importantly, though, amplifying AI in the education conversation inherently glosses over how learning actually plays out hour by hour, day by day. Teaching is hard work. It's hard because people are complex, even young people. I'd rather amplify that and then see where AI can fit in.
"Part of the AI in Education conversation requires de-emphasizing its importance."
I really appreciate this, as the escalation of and insistence upon importance without question weakens any conversation in this arena.
