Elementary school kids can learn to play the glockenspiel or understand Roman numerals or speak French.
These skills won't be helpful for them anytime in the rest of their lives but sometimes just learning something different is rewarding.

Imagine studying a technology whose presence in the classroom is so detrimental to the development of writing and research skills (including even the will to know the sources behind claims!) that mitigating its effects becomes a central goal of course design, and concluding with tips on adopting it.

These were both excellent talks! Thank you for organizing. Out of curiosity, about how many attendees were there on the zoom call?

When we intentionally changed the course to help out our students, we ended up helping *all* these students – even the ones who were already performing well in the course.
This is a common effect for "DEI programs" in education. Education just gets better for everyone.
