Educators Wrestle with the real-life applications of the 2024 National Educational Technology Plan - insights from David Miyashiro, Eileen Belastock, CETL, Bonnie Chelette, and D'Andre Weaver, Ph.D. I love this quote: "Holistic planning also means encouraging teachers to ask, “Why am I using this technology? What am I using it for, and how is it helping?” There should be a balance between work that’s on the computer and work that isn’t." #edtech #k12education

AI has the potential to significantly enhance educational assessment by providing personalized, continuous feedback to students. AI can incorporate formative assessment into everyday learning, providing immediate feedback and support. This can lead to more efficient learning and reduce reliance on high-stakes, summative tests. This continuous feedback loop can keep students engaged and motivated while reducing the stress associated with traditional exams. While AI cannot eliminate the need for some assessment forms, it can offer more comprehensive and nuanced evaluations than standardized tests alone. Through interactive simulations and real-world scenarios, AI can analyze complex skills like critical thinking and creativity. Additionally, AI-powered tools can automate grading, freeing teachers' time to focus on personalized instruction and creating engaging learning experiences. By leveraging AI's ability to analyze data and identify learning gaps, educators can provide targeted support and tailor learning pathways for each student. This shift towards AI-driven assessment promises a more equitable and effective education system that fosters individual growth and prepares students for future challenges.

Teaching #marketsegmentation can be a challenge in the K-12 environment, with many teachers focusing on demographics of the consumer or the products/services of the company . By using the the "Jobs to be Done" framework, market segmentation is better defined. Here are a few resources to get you started: 1. The Christensen Institute: "Everyone has Jobs to Be Done in their lives—the progress they’re trying to make as they strive toward a goal or aspiration within particular circumstances." https://lnkd.in/euBx4q6m Additional Resources: Milkshake Study https://lnkd.in/eN_BZMqe 2. Strategyn: https://lnkd.in/ekNTUUsg. I think Tony Ulwick is THE most thoughtful leader on JTBD- "when applying Jobs-to-be-Done Theory, a market is defined as a job executor and the job that executor is trying to get done" A few Benefits from Strategyn's approach: -customer centric -JTBD remain constant, just solutions change, switching focus from solutions to what the customer is actually trying to achieve -An empirical approach to 'unmet needs" that leads to true innovation Additional Resources: Jobs to be Done: From Theory to Practice https://lnkd.in/eRtBFSn8 to learn more on how to implement Entrepreneurship in your K-12 school, please feel to reach out https://lnkd.in/e7YWSfnV
