Teachlab Presents:
The Homework Machine
Most education technologies are invited into schools. Generative AI crashed the party. We've spoken to more than 90 teachers and 30 students about the impact of AI on K12 education. We're excited to share their stories and insights in a mini series we're calling "The Homework Machine".
A Guide to AI in Schools:
Perspectives for the Perplexed
by educators and for educators
Most new technologies, like laptops, are adopted in schools as the result of a deliberate policy choice. But generative AI is different: it is an arrival technology, which means that it arrived without formal adoption – students and teachers simply began using it. This arrival has left schools scrambling to respond to many challenges, including questions about academic integrity and data privacy.
