Engaged Learning, the periodical about education in the digital age, has just released its winter issue. Available now, it highlights the importance of fundamental skills (reading, writing, mathematics) and explores how digital tools can support their development.
In this article, Stacy Anne Allen examines the dual impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) in the educational sector. While AI streamlines tasks like lesson planning and differentiation, its significant environmental footprint raises concerns. Allen details how AI data centers consume vast energy and resources, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and electronic waste. She advocates for balancing innovation with sustainability by integrating discussions on AI’s environmental impacts into curricula.
At the recent Canadian Edtech Leadership Summit, West Vancouver School District Superintendent Chris Kennedy shared his vision of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into schools. He encourages teachers to familiarize themselves with AI technologies by using them personally, before implementing them in the learning environment, to increase engagement. In British Columbia, a flexible approach to AI in education allows school districts to tailor their policies. According to Chris Kennedy, promoting the sharing of innovative practices instead of their replication fosters an educational system that can adapt to change.
