Education

Since tech experts believe that artificial intelligence will continue evolving and come to play an even larger role in the lives of today’s children, it’s important for them to understand as much as possible about it—without overwhelming them or making things too complicated. And, that’s one of the ways in which Microsoft’s Seeing AI can help.

One of the areas that looks likely to gain the most from the power of AI, however, is education. AI has become such a phenomenon in the technology world that colleges, universities, and other institutions have established educational programs surrounding it so that people can learn about it and how to use it to better their lives.

Since Microsoft is, of course, one of the world’s leaders in creating cutting-edge technology, it should come as no surprise that they also have technologies designed for younger students to use in the classroom. Near the top of that list is Immersive Reader, which we took a look at for this week’s Rising Resources blog.

Boston’s Museum of Science is located right across the Charles River from us. Since they’re all so focused on science, teaching, and STEM education in particular, we have always been big fans of their work, and our CEO and President, Rick Fredkin, in particular has always found himself intrigued by these experts. Now, he will have a more prominent role

Our new video series on our YouTube channel. Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to watch some of the videos, which feature Eduporium co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Irina Tuule, and Eduporium co-founder, president, and CEO, Rick Fredkin, discussing a number of relevant topics that pertain to 21st century education.

Eduporium co-founder, Irina Tuule, discusses some ways for educators to ease into EdTech use. By starting small and integrating tech tools in a way that’s comfortable to you, teachers can set themselves up for increased engagement and success while trying different things—just like in The Little Red Riding Hood!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems that are able to complete tasks that would normally require human intelligence to do. And, education leaders are finding ways—whether popular or not—to bring it into the classroom with the hopes of either maximizing educator efficiency or improving student achievement—or both.

Irina Tuule discusses how the role of the teacher has evolved from what it once was to what it has become. Shifts in the resources available to educators and in the ways in which students learn have all prompted necessary changes to the methods educators use to teach. They’re no longer the sage on the stage and they’re typically not

In the last few years, more focus has been put on digital or technological equity and a strong push has been made to ensure that every student has access to tech tools that help them grow. This is important not only because technology affords students with enriched opportunities, but it also helps prepare them for a lot of the challenges

The buzz around the implementation of personalized learning in education isn’t simply a trendy way to weave some new approach into the classroom. Personalized learning, though sometimes challenging to fully implement, has been shown to work and offer each child a tailor-made learning experience.
