This deck continuously evolves to showcase GenAI's diverse capabilities through various prompt examples and screen recordings.

Over the last year, developers have released a dizzying array of AI tools that can generate text, images, music, and video with no need for complicated coding but simply in response to instructions given in natural language. These technologies are rapidly improving, and developers are introducing capabilities that would have been considered science fiction just a few years ago. AI is also raising pressing ethical questions around bias, appropriate use, and plagiarism.

In the realm of education, this technology will influence how students learn, how teachers work, and ultimately how we structure our education system. Some educators and leaders look forward to these changes with great enthusiasm. Sal Kahn, founder of Khan Academy, went so far as to say in a TED talk that AI has the potential to effect “probably the biggest positive transformation that education has ever seen.” But others warn that AI will enable the spread of misinformation, facilitate cheating in school and college, kill whatever vestiges of individual privacy remain, and cause massive job loss. The challenge is to harness the positive potential while avoiding or mitigating the harm. Weniger anzeigen

The adage “good things come to those who wait” does not apply to the work facing America’s governors and mayors. In this case, good investments will come to those who hustle and adopt the boldest policies to best position their Opportunity Zones to succeed. …

For decades Americans have had the chance to invest in emerging markets all around the world. Now they have the chance to invest in America’s own emerging markets and finance the comeback story so many communities have been waiting to write.

By now, it is almost routine to see columns sounding the alarm about millions of existing jobs at risk of being automated. However, the real risk is that we do not have a system ready to equip people with the skills needed to fill millions of new and modified jobs that will result from the rise of AI

The Aspen Task Force on Learning and the Internet came together to develop a bold, cross-sector, cross-partisan report that calls for rethinking learning systems that are currently too bound by time, place, and old ways of doing business. The Task Force’s goal was to understand the ways in which young people learn today and to optimize learning and innovation within a trusted environment.

The Aspen Task Force on Learning and the Internet came together to develop a bold, cross-sector, cross-partisan report that calls for rethinking learning systems that are currently too bound by time, place, and old ways of doing business. The Task Force’s goal was to understand the ways in which young people learn today and to optimize learning and innovation within a trusted environment.

The Task Force, comprised of 20 thought leaders with diverse perspectives on learning, innovation and safety, and supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, finalized the report after a year of study, stakeholder engagement, public input and internal deliberations. Former Governor of Florida and Chairman of the Foundation for Excellence in Education Jeb Bush and Co-Founder of Voto Latino Rosario Dawson served as Honorary Co-Chairs. Weniger anzeigen

"Funding the Shift to Digital Learning" is the first in a series of DLN Smart Series papers to be released in 2012 & 2013. Each will focus on a different implementation challenge at the intersection of the Common Core and shift to personal digital learning. "Funding the Shift to Digital Learning" provides three strategies states and districts can use to create and sustain learning environments with equitable access to technology and technology-rich learning experiences.

In most areas of pressing social challenges, public policy uses a variety of incentives to stimulate demand and attract private sector entrepreneurs. Education is an outlier, in that policy erects barriers and favors non-profit providers over private providers. This paper explores why education is the exception and how policymakers can attract the private sector to tackle some of our most intractable challenges.
