Me too!

By 2030, it’s federally mandated. The question now isn’t if we integrate AI. It’s whether we’re preparing students to challenge it, lead through it, and remain fully human inside it. #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation20 May 2025 00:09 +0000at://did:plc:b2b6v2xeaqx7kid37hq4base/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpkscgthgc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/brightminds-ai.bsky.social/post/3lp7rgqwii22eI was recently asked what I'd say to educational leaders, it is this... #Edusky #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation15 May 2025 14:54 +0000at://did:plc:b2b6v2xeaqx7kid37hq4base/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp7rgqwii22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/brightminds-ai.bsky.social/post/3lovxir2s2c22Most edtech wasn’t built for teachers.
