Are student devices really moving the achievement needle? We mapped hundreds of observations with the #PICRAT grid, uncovered PD gaps, and steered classrooms from “replace” to “transform.” 🚀 Catch Maranda Lynch & me at Model Schools: Empowering Excellence #MSC2025 📊

Tip for launching a SchoolAI Space: keep devices closed for the first 3 min and MODEL the chat live. Narrate the greeting, type 2 strong prompts + 1 weak one, ask the bot to define a tricky term & summarize a long reply. Students see THEY steer the convo—not the AI. #edtech

"How can you use AI to identify which kids need you?" Love this from Caleb Hicks SchoolAI It's one of the driving questions we've had about how we're harnessing gen AI in the classroom.

I ❤️ that SchoolAI staff complete a Space once/week to capture staff wide insights. Now I'm wondering abt the capacity here. Can school admin ask staff to complete a Space designed to capture victories, opps for support, interventions, all to inform face-face staff meetings?

I hope we can "chat with transcripts" in this new version of SchoolAI 1. T designs Space 2. T facilitates the Space with classes 3. T chats with transcripts to x, y, z. Gives T autonomy & responsibility to dig into next steps. Perhaps generate 3-5 questions for T to select.

Thanks for getting real Caleb Hicks I've been wrestling with the same complicated concerns when real and sensitive information is shared by a stdnt in a Space.

I have had access to SchoolAI 2.0 for a bit now, and these are some of my thoughts. SchoolAI This is not a comprehensive review, but, following the launch event, I felt it was the time to share some of my early thoughts. ✨ A thread🧵 ✨

"This student is the one that needs me right now." Replicate the conversations you can have with one student, with every student. Challenge every student. See every student. AI will never replace the need for Human interaction and teachers, but it can help us see where we're
