🗣️ Earth to Education?! 🗣️

Welcome Back to Our AI-Powered Revolution!

Welcome back to another electrifying edition of d’Skills Dispatch, where every Tech Thursday, we cut through the ordinary to reveal how AI is not just complementing but transforming the learning landscapes for our children. 

Ready to redefine the educational pathways? Let's dive in!

The Pulse on AI 🫀

The World Economic Forum says that AI is critical in making education more holistic…

But when all that means is making AI do routine tasks to free up teachers’ time for more direct student engagement, we are missing the mark 💯

We advocate for an education that ditches outdated standardized tests and prepares students for real-world challenges…because if the system won't, it's up to us to step in and shake things up 🚀

What’s Sizzling in Tech & AI? Let’s Dive In 🔥

• Master of None: Labor markets are changing, even in the face of a slow-moving education system. Students either need to either a) master AI-skills, b) do things AI can't do, or c) both. Read how gen-z is becoming the toolbelt generation here.

• Earth to Education: Education (including the SAT) demands that students excel at narrow recall-based skills that machines do flawlessly. If it can be scored by a computer, it can be performed by a computer. GPT ought to be an emphatic wake-up call. And education better hear it 🗣️

• Most Likely to Succeed: Ted Dintersmith's film has been warning us for a decade about the failings of traditional education in keeping up with technological advancements. It’s a must-watch for anyone concerned about education keeping pace with AI 🚀
