"New York City Schools Puts a Pause on Future EdTech Purchases While Debating the Merits of AI in Education." Today, we’re joined by Dr. Janette Camacho, an educator, author, national speaker and founder of iTeachAI LLC, an organization dedicated to helping K–12 educators integrate artificial intelligence responsibly and effectively. With more than 30 years of experience in education and leadership, Dr. Camacho specializes in #AIliteracy, instructional technology, #STEM integration and future-ready learning. She is also the author of Education Before AI: Laying the Foundations for Responsible Artificial Intelligence Integration in Schools and is a passionate advocate for a balanced, ethical and pedagogy-first approach to AI and educational technology. Today’s conversation is inspired by her timely blog post: “We Cannot Protect Students From AI by Cutting Them Off From Educational Technology.” The post responds to New York City’s reported decision to pause new educational technology purchases while it works through concerns surrounding artificial intelligence. Dr. Camacho argues that while schools must protect student privacy, establish clear AI guardrails, address screen time and carefully evaluate the educational value of new platforms, we cannot treat all educational technology as though it were generative AI.
