John McDonagh’s Post

⚡⚡⚡ The Future of EdTech: A Focus on Invisible Assessment Today, John McDonagh and I had the privilege of discussing with a great team of specialists how #EdTech is transforming the classroom. While the iconic Manhattan Bridge provided a stunning backdrop, it was the potential of AI-powered education that truly captured our attention. A powerful quote from a fellow EdTech innovator rings true: "The future of assessment is invisible because it is integrated with instruction." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the vision of a future where assessment becomes seamlessly woven into the learning process, rather than a separate, often stressful event. ⚡⚡⚡The Power of Phoneme-Level Analysis To achieve this vision, we must prioritize the development of advanced #AImodels capable of analyzing language at a granular level. Phoneme-level analysis is critical. By focusing on the fine details of language, we can unlock the full potential of AI-powered education and create truly transformative learning experiences. eKidz.eu Felix Haffner Yaroslav Nedashkovskyi Bernd Nuss, PhD/Adjunct Assistant Professor #AI #Languagelearning #ASR #phonemes

bit.ly/3yJjfaY When it comes to AI and education, there are a wide variety of reactions and opinions, ranging from skepticism and concern to enthusiasm and eagerness. While we expect the debate regarding AI’s merit and effectiveness to continue for the foreseeable future as we collectively learn more about its applications, we would like to shine a light on its more positive impacts, specifically for students with special needs. Students with learning differences benefit most when instruction is individualized and tailored to their specific needs. As the saying goes, if you have met one person with special needs, then you have met one person with special needs! No two students with special education needs are the same, and AI’s ability to modify content and customize instruction for individuals has game-changing potential for these students.

The concept of an AI-driven, teacherless classroom is a fascinating development—one that raises profound questions about the role of education in shaping human potential. While AI can undoubtedly offer unprecedented precision in tailoring lessons to individual strengths and weaknesses, it is critical to recognize the intrinsic limitations of algorithmic learning. Human educators do not merely impart information; they embody mentorship, empathy, and the moral guidance necessary to navigate the complexities of life. A teacher fosters curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and models emotional intelligence—qualities that, as of yet, no AI can authentically replicate. The true essence of education extends beyond the mere transmission of knowledge. It is the human connection, the lived experience shared between teacher and student, that cultivates wisdom. In this shift towards AI-led classrooms, the danger lies in losing sight of what it means to learn as a holistic, sentient being. Precision in education is valuable, but we must question whether it can or should replace the depth of understanding nurtured through human connection. Let us embrace technological advancement while ensuring that the human heart of education is not forsaken in the process. #AI #Education #HumanConnection #FutureOfLearning #EdTech

Education in 2030 will be a dynamic blend of AI-powered personalization and human creativity. 🌟 Imagine classrooms where AI tutors adapt lessons in real-time, catering to each student’s unique pace and style, fostering a more inclusive and engaging learning experience. 🌍💡 Teachers will evolve into mentors, guiding students through AI-curated content, while empowering them to think critically and innovate. The fusion of AI and education will not only democratize knowledge but also prepare future generations to solve the world's most pressing challenges with unprecedented creativity and empathy. 🚀🌱 #Education2030 #AIinEducation #FutureLearning #InnovationInLearning #AI #EdTech #PersonalizedLearning

Watch Ep. 8: https://lnkd.in/eX4KvKjk Continuing with Part 2 (Blog 1) of a fascinating conversation with Daithí Ó Murchú, we explore the sweeping impact that technological singularity could have on education. As AI begins to reshape the classroom, the question arises: how will this transformation influence the development of young minds? On one hand, AI brings incredible tools to personalize learning, support educators, and enhance resource allocation, all pointing to a future of unprecedented educational potential. Yet, as we enter this era, there’s equal cause for caution. The “digital divide” threatens to widen, privacy concerns loom, and over-reliance on AI risks sidelining core aspects of human connection and organic development. In discussing “HumAInology,” we ponder models where AI complements rather than controls, empowering educators to focus on mentorship, critical thinking, and creativity. But we ask, how can this future be shaped if educators aren’t integral to AI’s design from the ground up? As we prepare students for an AI-driven world, ethical considerations, collaborative models, and adaptive skills will be crucial. Watch for upcoming Episode # 9 ' The Handshake' for analysis of Blog 2: Navigating the New Frontier: AI Singularity - Teacher & Student Roles in Classrooms of the Future. #AI #Technology #Education #FutureOfWork #EthicalAI #HumanEvolution #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #TechEthics #AdaptiveLearning

What if every incoming teacher had exposure AND dexterity with AI tools? At Teach For America we’re on the way there fam. This year the majority of incoming corps members took a virtual course designed by The Reinvention Lab at Teach For America (BIG thank you to Ariam Mogos who led the design of the course). The course starts with identifying AI in the world around you and ends with the educators creating their own tool in Playlab AI which is a platform the Reinvention Lab incubated and spun out. This isn’t AI for AI’s sake either. We know that BOTH literacy and dexterity with AI will lead to economic mobility for young people in the future. In other words we know that equipping educators and students to put AI to work on behalf of their goals and communities will help them shape the lives they want. I’m proud to be in this work with TFA at this time. This is one small piece of our larger AI strategy. AI will not solve all of our problems but people who know how to use AI well will solve most of them! Just make sure you tap in with us at the Reinvention Lab and at TFA as we try to make sure that every educator and young person has access to this emerging technology at this moment. 🤘🏾 #ai #aieducation #futureoflearning
