One of the projects I got rid of was one examining how we responded to survivors. Not because it wasn't necessary, more because condemning those who don't know what to do no longer serves me. Hopefully we do better than in 2015

My opinion only, and it may not be popular: How can we effectively respond to AI in education if we don't know how kids and teens are flowing between/among digital, analog, and hybrid literacy contexts beyond statistics, self-reports, and speculation?
