The idea of AI in schools is inspiring either alarm bells or excitement, depending on who you're reading or following on social. But since it's already here, I invite you to consider four frames for considering it: Helping Teachers Reduce Friction, AI with Training Wheels, Naming What Students Are Already Doing, and Conversations, Not Lessons.

I'm no lackey for AI, and I've been deeply skeptical of its rapid advance on schools. But I also recognize that it's here and educators need to be prepared to think and discuss with students and, in some cases, engage with the technology itself.
