Now It’s Up to Schools to Figure Out How | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>School officials in Indiana are looking forward to class without the buzz of cellphones next school year. A \u003ca href=\"https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2024/bills/senate/185/details\">new law\u003c/a> with heavy bipartisan support requires school districts to adopt policies banning students from having wireless devices during class time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law applies to cellphones, tablets, laptops or gaming devices. It allows exemptions for educational purposes with a teacher’s permission, in emergencies or to manage health care. Students can also use technology if they have a disability or as part of an individualized education program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florida passed a similar law last year and Kentucky, Vermont, Tennessee and Kansas are considering it. Supporters say the laws reduce \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/11/577101803/a-schools-way-to-fight-phones-in-class-lock-em-up\">distractions in the classroom\u003c/a>, cut down on bullying through social media and encourage more in-person interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many schools in the state — and elsewhere — already had these bans on their own. Now others will have to adopt them, though the law doesn’t spell out how to enforce them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Bloomfield, a professor of education leadership, law and policy at Brooklyn College and the City University of New York Graduate Center, said the law means more work for schools and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cellphones have to be removed from their persons, and they have to be stored somewhere away from that individual,” he said. “That’s going to take time. It’s going to take expense, and it’s going to take enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomfield said some schools use technology-blocking software, but that raises questions about how students can use their phones in emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the law’s lack of specific enforcement measures could lead to racial disparities in how the policies — or penalties — are applied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s easy for states to require districts to have policies, but they’re really offloading the job to school districts, and then obviously to schools to enforce those policies,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indiana Rep. Julie McGuire, a Republican and one of the sponsors of the bill in the legislature, said some teachers now don’t have the power to confiscate phones even when they create a distraction. She said the new law will reduce problematic behavior around social media and teach students to replace screen time with more face-to-face communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we cannot control the amount of time students spend on social media outside school hours, we can provide reprieve during the seven hours per day that should be focused on learning,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Rep. Matt Pierce opposed the bill, questioning the need for mandating what he said should be obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the policy perspective, it makes sense,” he said. “The other part of me is like, really? We need a bill so a school corporation can have a common-sense policy telling its kids not to use these devices? I was going to vote against this bill just because I don’t think it’s needed, but now I’ve got somebody telling me that you’ve got a school somewhere that’s telling some teacher they can’t just take the darn phone away. I don’t get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was signed by Indiana’s Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb in early March. and the law takes effect July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some districts, like Indianapolis Public Schools, will not be largely affected by the new law because they already have similar policies in place. Other districts vary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Westfield Washington School District, communications director Joshua Andrews said high school students there can only have their phones at lunch and between classes. However, middle school students cannot use their phones at all during the school day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you change something that big, it kind of makes people recoil a little bit. But, there’s been little to no problems with it since we’ve rolled it out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other districts are still in the process of developing policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terry Terhune, superintendent at Greenwood Community School Corp., said students at his schools generally aren’t supposed to have their phones out during class unless they have a teacher’s permission. However, the rules vary by grade level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of my goals is to try to meet with some of our neighboring school districts and see kind of where everybody lands on that,” he said. “Within our county, Johnson County, I would like to try to be consistent with other districts. But again, everybody’s going to have their own opinion on those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kirsten Adair covers education for Indiana Public Broadcasting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2024 IPB News.

A \u003ca href=\"https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2024/bills/senate/185/details\">new law\u003c/a> with heavy bipartisan support requires school districts to adopt policies banning students from having wireless devices during class time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law applies to cellphones, tablets, laptops or gaming devices. It allows exemptions for educational purposes with a teacher’s permission, in emergencies or to manage health care. Students can also use technology if they have a disability or as part of an individualized education program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florida passed a similar law last year and Kentucky, Vermont, Tennessee and Kansas are considering it. Supporters say the laws reduce \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/11/577101803/a-schools-way-to-fight-phones-in-class-lock-em-up\">distractions in the classroom\u003c/a>, cut down on bullying through social media and encourage more in-person interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many schools in the state — and elsewhere — already had these bans on their own. Now others will have to adopt them, though the law doesn’t spell out how to enforce them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Bloomfield, a professor of education leadership, law and policy at Brooklyn College and the City University of New York Graduate Center, said the law means more work for schools and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cellphones have to be removed from their persons, and they have to be stored somewhere away from that individual,” he said. “That’s going to take time. It’s going to take expense, and it’s going to take enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomfield said some schools use technology-blocking software, but that raises questions about how students can use their phones in emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the law’s lack of specific enforcement measures could lead to racial disparities in how the policies — or penalties — are applied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s easy for states to require districts to have policies, but they’re really offloading the job to school districts, and then obviously to schools to enforce those policies,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indiana Rep. Julie McGuire, a Republican and one of the sponsors of the bill in the legislature, said some teachers now don’t have the power to confiscate phones even when they create a distraction. She said the new law will reduce problematic behavior around social media and teach students to replace screen time with more face-to-face communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we cannot control the amount of time students spend on social media outside school hours, we can provide reprieve during the seven hours per day that should be focused on learning,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Rep. Matt Pierce opposed the bill, questioning the need for mandating what he said should be obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the policy perspective, it makes sense,” he said. “The other part of me is like, really? We need a bill so a school corporation can have a common-sense policy telling its kids not to use these devices? I was going to vote against this bill just because I don’t think it’s needed, but now I’ve got somebody telling me that you’ve got a school somewhere that’s telling some teacher they can’t just take the darn phone away. I don’t get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was signed by Indiana’s Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb in early March. and the law takes effect July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some districts, like Indianapolis Public Schools, will not be largely affected by the new law because they already have similar policies in place. Other districts vary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Westfield Washington School District, communications director Joshua Andrews said high school students there can only have their phones at lunch and between classes. However, middle school students cannot use their phones at all during the school day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you change something that big, it kind of makes people recoil a little bit. But, there’s been little to no problems with it since we’ve rolled it out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other districts are still in the process of developing policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terry Terhune, superintendent at Greenwood Community School Corp., said students at his schools generally aren’t supposed to have their phones out during class unless they have a teacher’s permission. However, the rules vary by grade level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of my goals is to try to meet with some of our neighboring school districts and see kind of where everybody lands on that,” he said. “Within our county, Johnson County, I would like to try to be consistent with other districts. But again, everybody’s going to have their own opinion on those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kirsten Adair covers education for Indiana Public Broadcasting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2024 IPB News.

Something as simple as an audible notification can draw focus away from a task. And when humans are distracted, it takes 23 minutes to get back to that previous level of focus. In schools, that means that in a 55-minute class period, multiple distractions across the classroom create an almost impossible task of staying on topic and focused. “When you toggle between two things, you lose cognitive energy and it takes a lot longer to get into deep focus,” said school psychologist \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@thrivingstudents\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rebecca Branstetter\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

You have to require that environment to set the stage for how to help kids prioritize and focus.” In her talk and a follow-up interview with MindShift, Branstetter offered 10 tips and hacks to help boost teen’s executive function skills and manage screen time. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>1. See tech as a tool\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technology is like a hammer, said Branstetter. “It’s a tool, and you can use it to create beautiful things and you can create to destroy things. It depends on how you use it.” Adults can help to empower kids to see tech as a tool by encouraging them to find an app or tech tool that will address a specific challenge they are facing. If a teen is dealing with anxiety, for example, they can test out a few meditation apps and report back to the adult.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Branstetter also pointed out that there are apps that block the most searched websites on a device for a period of time, which can be useful for a student having a hard time focusing on tasks for extended periods of time.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>2. Coach through task initiation\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Task initiation is one of the big \u003ca href=\"https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/what-is-executive-function-and-how-does-it-relate-to-child-development/\">executive function skills\u003c/a> that are interrupted by technology and cell phone use, according to Branstetter. Adults might assume that stopping a previous task is an obvious precursor to initiating a new task, but kids and teens might need more explicit instruction to develop that sequencing habit. This can look like asking students what needs to be done in order to start a specific task. Students might suggest that phones need to go away and that they need to pull out necessary materials to perform the new task at hand. According to Branstetter, this is an important practice in self-awareness. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>3. Probe for the feelings behind phone distractions\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Impulse control is another executive function skill that teens are developing. If a student is having trouble refraining from looking at their phone when initiating a new task, it can help to encourage quick mindful reflection. An adult can ask a teen, “What is it that’s making you go on your phone?” and suggest some feelings like anxiety or boredom that they might identify with. Then the adult and teen can create a quick plan for stopping phone use at that moment and refocusing on the more immediate task.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>4. Try the scrunchie trick or airplane mode\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Putting a scrunchie over the front camera prevents smartphone facial recognition from effortlessly unlocking aphone. Branstetter recommended guiding teens to use that moment when the phone doesn’t unlock for a mental check-in: “Why am I checking this? How do I feel?” If the scrunchie method doesn’t work, Branstetter suggested teaching teens to use airplane mode during a time when phone distractions are unwelcome.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>5. Take advantage of A.I.\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also some useful A.I. tools for teens who might struggle with task breakdown and completion. Branstetter recommended \u003ca href=\"https://goblin.tools/About\">Goblin Tools\u003c/a>, which takes a prompt like “I have to write a five-page paper on Mesopotamia,” and creates a checklist with the steps that a student might need to do to complete the assignment.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>6. Use a focus timer\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/51765/procrastinating-still-how-a-tomato-timer-can-help-you-stop-putting-things-off\">Pomodoro technique\u003c/a>, which uses 25-minute bursts of focused time with breaks in between, has been a useful tool for the teens that Branstetter works with. She also recommended \u003ca href=\"https://www.forestapp.cc/\">Forest\u003c/a>, which can be downloaded as a smartphone app or used as a Chrome extension. Forest helps users track their focus time with a visual reminder of focus as a tree slowly grows on the screen, as well as real-world incentive. When a user completes a certain amount of focus time, without distraction, a real tree is planted through Forest app’s partner, Trees For The Future.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>7. Create a tech contract\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/sites/default/files/featured-content/files/common_sense_family_media_agreement.pdf\">Tech agreements\u003c/a> or contracts, allow teachers or parents to \u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles/heres-real-proof-that-a-cellphone-contract-works\">collaborate with young people on expectations\u003c/a> for technology. One aspect of a tech agreement can be determining where the technology “hot spots” and “cold spots” are in the classroom or home. By predetermining where technology is expected to be used or not to be used, students have a better chance at applying their learned executive functioning and anticipatory thinking skills. Tech agreements can be \u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles/our-sons-behavior-improved-with-a-tech-agreement\">revisited and adjusted\u003c/a> as often as needed, said Branstetter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>8. Keep a technology diary\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another exercise that parents and teachers might find useful when it comes to making teens aware of their own habits, is to have them create a log of their daily activities, said Branstetter. For example, students can write a timeline of their day and determine how much time is spent outside, doing physical activity, socializing, having fun, focusing, and downtime without technology. By having kids take the time to reflect on their own data and see how much time is spent during their day doing certain activities, the unbalanced moments become very apparent, said Branstetter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>9. Encourage future thinking\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Future planning is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/50947/how-reverse-planning-for-goals-can-help-students-succeed-in-school\">also a learned executive function skill\u003c/a>. “Because motivation is the ability to see a positive emotion of the future … we need to help kids do a future sketch,” said Branstetter. Helping students visualize what it might look like and feel like in the future to complete a task will help them with anticipatory thinking.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Branstetter likes doing a future sketch that she calls a “movie in your mind.” For example, if a teacher notices a student on their phone when they should be completing a math task, they might say something like this: “Here’s the movie that is playing in my mind right now. You have your phone out and there’s a no-phone policy, so I’m supposed to take it from you, and that’s how the movie ends, with me taking it.” The teacher then prompts the student to narrate how an episode might play out if they finish their math task versus if they don’t finish their math task. The teacher can then simply ask, “which one feels better to you?” leaving the anticipatory thinking to the student.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>10. Reinforce positive behaviors\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Branstetter has also seen success in positive reinforcement from adults when it’s specific and sincere. She said praise is best paired with corrective feedback in a 5:1 ratio. But with teenagers, praise is not often received as well if it’s made publicly, so try to offer both praise and corrective feedback in quieter, more private settings. When it comes to regulating screen time in the classroom, praise can be as simple as saying to a student, “I haven’t seen you with your phone all day in my class,” Branstetter suggested in her conference session.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Teens’ focus is interrupted, on average, every 90 seconds.

Coach through task initiation\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Task initiation is one of the big \u003ca href=\"https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/what-is-executive-function-and-how-does-it-relate-to-child-development/\">executive function skills\u003c/a> that are interrupted by technology and cell phone use, according to Branstetter. Adults might assume that stopping a previous task is an obvious precursor to initiating a new task, but kids and teens might need more explicit instruction to develop that sequencing habit. This can look like asking students what needs to be done in order to start a specific task. Students might suggest that phones need to go away and that they need to pull out necessary materials to perform the new task at hand. According to Branstetter, this is an important practice in self-awareness. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>3. Probe for the feelings behind phone distractions\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Impulse control is another executive function skill that teens are developing. If a student is having trouble refraining from looking at their phone when initiating a new task, it can help to encourage quick mindful reflection. An adult can ask a teen, “What is it that’s making you go on your phone?” and suggest some feelings like anxiety or boredom that they might identify with. Then the adult and teen can create a quick plan for stopping phone use at that moment and refocusing on the more immediate task.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>4. Try the scrunchie trick or airplane mode\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Putting a scrunchie over the front camera prevents smartphone facial recognition from effortlessly unlocking aphone. Branstetter recommended guiding teens to use that moment when the phone doesn’t unlock for a mental check-in: “Why am I checking this? How do I feel?” If the scrunchie method doesn’t work, Branstetter suggested teaching teens to use airplane mode during a time when phone distractions are unwelcome.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>5. Take advantage of A.I.\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also some useful A.I. tools for teens who might struggle with task breakdown and completion. Branstetter recommended \u003ca href=\"https://goblin.tools/About\">Goblin Tools\u003c/a>, which takes a prompt like “I have to write a five-page paper on Mesopotamia,” and creates a checklist with the steps that a student might need to do to complete the assignment.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>6. Use a focus timer\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/51765/procrastinating-still-how-a-tomato-timer-can-help-you-stop-putting-things-off\">Pomodoro technique\u003c/a>, which uses 25-minute bursts of focused time with breaks in between, has been a useful tool for the teens that Branstetter works with. She also recommended \u003ca href=\"https://www.forestapp.cc/\">Forest\u003c/a>, which can be downloaded as a smartphone app or used as a Chrome extension. Forest helps users track their focus time with a visual reminder of focus as a tree slowly grows on the screen, as well as real-world incentive. When a user completes a certain amount of focus time, without distraction, a real tree is planted through Forest app’s partner, Trees For The Future.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>7. Create a tech contract\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/sites/default/files/featured-content/files/common_sense_family_media_agreement.pdf\">Tech agreements\u003c/a> or contracts, allow teachers or parents to \u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles/heres-real-proof-that-a-cellphone-contract-works\">collaborate with young people on expectations\u003c/a> for technology. One aspect of a tech agreement can be determining where the technology “hot spots” and “cold spots” are in the classroom or home. By predetermining where technology is expected to be used or not to be used, students have a better chance at applying their learned executive functioning and anticipatory thinking skills. Tech agreements can be \u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles/our-sons-behavior-improved-with-a-tech-agreement\">revisited and adjusted\u003c/a> as often as needed, said Branstetter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>8. Keep a technology diary\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another exercise that parents and teachers might find useful when it comes to making teens aware of their own habits, is to have them create a log of their daily activities, said Branstetter. For example, students can write a timeline of their day and determine how much time is spent outside, doing physical activity, socializing, having fun, focusing, and downtime without technology. By having kids take the time to reflect on their own data and see how much time is spent during their day doing certain activities, the unbalanced moments become very apparent, said Branstetter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>9. Encourage future thinking\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Future planning is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/50947/how-reverse-planning-for-goals-can-help-students-succeed-in-school\">also a learned executive function skill\u003c/a>. “Because motivation is the ability to see a positive emotion of the future … we need to help kids do a future sketch,” said Branstetter. Helping students visualize what it might look like and feel like in the future to complete a task will help them with anticipatory thinking.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Branstetter likes doing a future sketch that she calls a “movie in your mind.” For example, if a teacher notices a student on their phone when they should be completing a math task, they might say something like this: “Here’s the movie that is playing in my mind right now. You have your phone out and there’s a no-phone policy, so I’m supposed to take it from you, and that’s how the movie ends, with me taking it.” The teacher then prompts the student to narrate how an episode might play out if they finish their math task versus if they don’t finish their math task. The teacher can then simply ask, “which one feels better to you?” leaving the anticipatory thinking to the student.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>10. Reinforce positive behaviors\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Branstetter has also seen success in positive reinforcement from adults when it’s specific and sincere. She said praise is best paired with corrective feedback in a 5:1 ratio. But with teenagers, praise is not often received as well if it’s made publicly, so try to offer both praise and corrective feedback in quieter, more private settings. When it comes to regulating screen time in the classroom, praise can be as simple as saying to a student, “I haven’t seen you with your phone all day in my class,” Branstetter suggested in her conference session.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/63441/10-hacks-to-boost-teens-executive-function-skills-and-manage-screen-time","authors":["11759"],"categories":["mindshift_21445","mindshift_195","mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_1023","mindshift_866","mindshift_20955","mindshift_20816","mindshift_30","mindshift_1038"],"featImg":"mindshift_63443","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_63390":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_63390","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"63390","score":null,"sort":[1711026005000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"ai-images-and-conspiracy-theories-are-driving-a-push-for-media-literacy-education","title":"Teaching Media Literacy with Escape Rooms and AI Photos","publishDate":1711026005,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Teaching Media Literacy with Escape Rooms and AI Photos | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/03/20/1239609121/videos-using-ao-are-popping-up-on-youtube-how-is-youtube-responding\">Videos\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/06/07/1180768459/how-to-identify-ai-generated-deepfake-images\">images\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/06/29/1183684732/ai-generated-text-is-hard-to-spot-it-could-play-a-big-role-in-the-2024-campaign\">text\u003c/a> created by generative artificial intelligence tools are turning up in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/02/08/1229641751/ai-deepfakes-election-risks-lawmakers-tech-companies-artificial-intelligence\">elections\u003c/a>, for sale \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1237888126/growing-number-ai-scam-books-amazon\">on Amazon\u003c/a> and even \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/12/30/1222273745/michael-cohen-ai-fake-legal-cases\">in court documents\u003c/a>.

This year, MisInfo Day’s organizers say 68 teachers from ten different states and three countries registered for online training with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cip.uw.edu/misinfoday-library/\">MisInfo Day library\u003c/a>, so they can lead the activities in their own classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators are trying to fill a big gap, says Jevin West, an associate dean of research at UW’s Information School who co-founded the university’s Center for an Informed Public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole motivation for this program was to spend an entire day which might be the only day that many of these students will devote to this, what I consider one of the more important things that we can be teaching our public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A growing demand for media literacy education\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The advocacy non-profit group Media Literacy Now’s \u003ca href=\"https://medialiteracynow.org/policyreport/\">annual report\u003c/a> shows 18 states have now passed bills pushing for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/11/08/1210444566/like-it-or-not-kids-hear-the-news-heres-how-teachers-help-them-understand-it\">media literacy education\u003c/a>, and half of all state legislatures have held debates or votes on the topic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.bu.edu/com/articles/media-literacy-skills-important-to-counter-disinformation-survey-says/\">recent survey\u003c/a> from Boston University shows 72% of adults say misinformation is a concern. But there’s a partisan gap in attitudes towards media literacy, says BU’s Michelle Amazeen\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are more more likely (81%) to agree than Republicans (66%) that media literacy skills are important. Relatedly, Democrats are more likely than independents and Republicans to believe that media literacy training teaches one how to think more critically – and not what to think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s consistent with the pattern overall, that Republicans are just less trusting of media, they feel that there’s a liberal bias in the media and so they’re more likely to agree that media is trying to tell them what to think,” says Amazeen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Walsh, chair of the Washington State GOP, has criticized some of the state’s work to combat election disinformation, but he supports efforts like MisInfo Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, like many things, the term media literacy sounds great. And it is great. If we keep it clean and clear and free of free of agendas. The risk, the challenge, is to make sure it stays free and clear, and doesn’t doesn’t end up getting hijacked by people pushing agendas of any sort,” says Walsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Misinfo Day, a team of students from Sedro Woolley High School, north of Seattle, were the first to solve the escape room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winners all said they felt better equipped to assess what they see online after after the session. But the students wondered why media literacy education \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/06/12/1002908327/5-ways-for-seniors-to-protect-themselves-from-online-misinformation\">should be limited to teenagers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think honestly, adults might benefit more from it. Because they don’t usually think about that kind of stuff. We’re growing up in a very technological era. So we know we have to, but some adults are like, ‘Oh, it doesn’t affect me. Because I didn’t grow up like that,'” says Katie, a member of the winning team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MisInfo Day is expanding.

What are they?\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In education, copyright has its own set of rules that provide specific protections. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted work without seeking permission, serving purposes like news reporting, commentary, education, parody and the creation of transformative new works.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the protective umbrella of education is not as impervious as once believed, said Pero.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fa\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ir use isn’t a one-size-fits-all rule, and it is evaluated on a case-by-case basis that considers four key factors: the purpose of use, the nature of the original work, the amount used and the impact on the original’s market value.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Purpose of use:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Educators can share materials as long as they’re integral to the course, part of systematic instructional activities, and directly related to the teaching objectives. However, expanding the purpose, like publishing a school project online, might change fair use status. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Nature of the original work: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fair use status is more likely if the original is informative or factual rather than highly creative. However, creative works can still qualify. For example, watching a taped production of Hamlet during a unit on Shakespeare in an English class is likely to fall under fair use.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Amount used: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fair use asks that teachers use portions of the original material and only what’s necessary to convey their point. While it’s still possible with entire creative works, like videos or songs, using less increases the likelihood of fair use. Excerpts – typically two pages or less or 10% of longer works – are permissible, along with up to 30 seconds of music. Pero emphasized that many publishing companies are open to working with teachers as long as proper credit is given. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Market impact:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If your use undermines the creator’s ability to profit from their work, it’s less likely to be considered fair use.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For clarification on copyright concerns, Mary Beth Clifton, who teaches about copyright in her role as an instructional technology coordinator in Pennsylvania, recommended that educators use \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://copyrightandcreativity.org/online-training/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copyright and Creativity\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, an online hub of educator-friendly resources about copyright, including office hours, webinars and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://copyrightandcreativity.org/infographics/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">downloadable posters\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During pandemic-related distance learning, teachers relied on the 2002 \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.copyright.gov/docs/regstat031301.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization (“TEACH”) Act\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This act provides exemptions that allow educators to share certain copyright-protected materials online with students without getting permission from copyright holders. Generally, the TEACH Act mandates that distribution of all materials must be limited to students who are currently enrolled in the class for a specific time. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Digital citizenship and nurturing respect for copyright\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing sources and giving credit are integral components of digital citizenship — how we conduct ourselves responsibly in the online world. Complying with copyright can seem tedious, but it is foundational to many of the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/digital-citizenship\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">digital citizenship\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> skills teachers hope to instill in students. “We talk about how to be respectful, face-to-face and how to be respectful in a Zoom conference. We also need to talk about how to be respectful in the digital environment,” said Clifton. With\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62462/8-free-ai-powered-tools-that-can-save-teachers-time-and-enhance-instruction\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> AI tools on the rise\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, students’ ability to trace the origins of their sources will become more valuable. When teachers make their own copyright practices visible, they model its importance for students. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Empowering students to copyright their work\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One way to help students to become more knowledgeable about copyright is to have them copyright their own work. With students increasingly \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/47636/what-writing-wikipedia-entries-can-teach-students-about-digital-literacy\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">creating their own content as opposed to just consuming it\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, teachers have an opportunity to introduce them to copyrighting. Clifton suggested students and teachers use \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creative Commons\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> licenses because they are a simple way to communicate how one wants their work to be used. A Creative Commons license is a public use license that allows creators to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/cclicenses/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">mix and match four conditions\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to communicate how they would like the work to be used. For example, a person may choose to allow others to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material for noncommercial purposes only. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When students experience the process of protecting their own work, it’s easier to communicate the significance of copyright because it’s more personalized, said Clifton. She prompts students with questions about how they would feel about finding out that their work was used without permission to foster discussions about sharing and respecting creative works.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Practicing mindful image use\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether it’s in a powerpoint or on a poster board, images are often used without permission. To illustrate how images are protected by copyright, Pero used the logo from the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 as an example. When the first Tokyo 2020 logo was presented, a Belgian designer said it was too similar to one of his designs, and the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34115750\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tokyo Olympics logo was changed.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In her classes, Pero instructed students to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/29508?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">use filters on Google image search\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to easily access images that are free to share. Even when using such searches, teachers can set the expectation that students should credit the image creators.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, Pero oversaw her schools’ yearbook class, and she instructed students to give photo credit for each photo whether they were taken professionally or by peers. “One year, we made a yearbook that mimicked Survivor’s logo,” said Pero. She told students that if they wanted to go through with the idea, “We need to get permission because we’re going to publish like 400 of these.” Student sent an image of the yearbook logo to Survivor’s production team to confirm that it was okay to use. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Inviting students to connect with creators \u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Pero’s students did independent choice reading, she invited them to give authors a shoutout on social media. As part of the assignment, students identified the author’s social handle and tagged them in a post about what they read. If the student didn’t have a social account she did it from her own account. “They were amazed at the [response] they got,” said Pero. This simple act allowed students to connect with the creators behind the works they engage with, fostering a deeper appreciation for writers and artists. Learning more about the origins of the works they appreciate can empower students and develop their agency. Starting these habits early lays the foundation for a future where acknowledging sources becomes second nature. “Let’s get kids in the habit, students in the habit, adults in the habit of saying, ‘I got this from here. It’s not mine,'” Pero said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"When teachers model correct copyright use they not only shield themselves from legal complications, but also set a good example for students.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1713291329,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":16,"wordCount":1410},"headData":{"title":"Demystifying Copyright for Teachers and Students | KQED","description":"When teachers model correct copyright use, they not only shield themselves from legal complications, but also set a good example for students.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","socialDescription":"When teachers model correct copyright use, they not only shield themselves from legal complications, but also set a good example for students."},"sticky":false,"excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","articleAge":"0","path":"/mindshift/62986/demystifying-copyright-for-teachers-and-students","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2019, the Houston Independent School District found itself entangled in a legal battle, facing a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/Federal-jury-HISD-staff-repeatedly-violated-13895634.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">verdict of $9.2 million for copyright violations\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

What are they?\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In education, copyright has its own set of rules that provide specific protections. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted work without seeking permission, serving purposes like news reporting, commentary, education, parody and the creation of transformative new works.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the protective umbrella of education is not as impervious as once believed, said Pero.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fa\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ir use isn’t a one-size-fits-all rule, and it is evaluated on a case-by-case basis that considers four key factors: the purpose of use, the nature of the original work, the amount used and the impact on the original’s market value.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Purpose of use:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Educators can share materials as long as they’re integral to the course, part of systematic instructional activities, and directly related to the teaching objectives. However, expanding the purpose, like publishing a school project online, might change fair use status. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Nature of the original work: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fair use status is more likely if the original is informative or factual rather than highly creative. However, creative works can still qualify. For example, watching a taped production of Hamlet during a unit on Shakespeare in an English class is likely to fall under fair use.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Amount used: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fair use asks that teachers use portions of the original material and only what’s necessary to convey their point. While it’s still possible with entire creative works, like videos or songs, using less increases the likelihood of fair use. Excerpts – typically two pages or less or 10% of longer works – are permissible, along with up to 30 seconds of music. Pero emphasized that many publishing companies are open to working with teachers as long as proper credit is given. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Market impact:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If your use undermines the creator’s ability to profit from their work, it’s less likely to be considered fair use.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For clarification on copyright concerns, Mary Beth Clifton, who teaches about copyright in her role as an instructional technology coordinator in Pennsylvania, recommended that educators use \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://copyrightandcreativity.org/online-training/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copyright and Creativity\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, an online hub of educator-friendly resources about copyright, including office hours, webinars and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://copyrightandcreativity.org/infographics/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">downloadable posters\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During pandemic-related distance learning, teachers relied on the 2002 \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.copyright.gov/docs/regstat031301.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization (“TEACH”) Act\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This act provides exemptions that allow educators to share certain copyright-protected materials online with students without getting permission from copyright holders. Generally, the TEACH Act mandates that distribution of all materials must be limited to students who are currently enrolled in the class for a specific time. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Digital citizenship and nurturing respect for copyright\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing sources and giving credit are integral components of digital citizenship — how we conduct ourselves responsibly in the online world. Complying with copyright can seem tedious, but it is foundational to many of the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/digital-citizenship\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">digital citizenship\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> skills teachers hope to instill in students. “We talk about how to be respectful, face-to-face and how to be respectful in a Zoom conference. We also need to talk about how to be respectful in the digital environment,” said Clifton. With\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62462/8-free-ai-powered-tools-that-can-save-teachers-time-and-enhance-instruction\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> AI tools on the rise\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, students’ ability to trace the origins of their sources will become more valuable. When teachers make their own copyright practices visible, they model its importance for students. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Empowering students to copyright their work\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One way to help students to become more knowledgeable about copyright is to have them copyright their own work. With students increasingly \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/47636/what-writing-wikipedia-entries-can-teach-students-about-digital-literacy\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">creating their own content as opposed to just consuming it\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, teachers have an opportunity to introduce them to copyrighting. Clifton suggested students and teachers use \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creative Commons\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> licenses because they are a simple way to communicate how one wants their work to be used. A Creative Commons license is a public use license that allows creators to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/cclicenses/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">mix and match four conditions\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to communicate how they would like the work to be used. For example, a person may choose to allow others to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material for noncommercial purposes only. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When students experience the process of protecting their own work, it’s easier to communicate the significance of copyright because it’s more personalized, said Clifton. She prompts students with questions about how they would feel about finding out that their work was used without permission to foster discussions about sharing and respecting creative works.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Practicing mindful image use\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether it’s in a powerpoint or on a poster board, images are often used without permission. To illustrate how images are protected by copyright, Pero used the logo from the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 as an example. When the first Tokyo 2020 logo was presented, a Belgian designer said it was too similar to one of his designs, and the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34115750\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tokyo Olympics logo was changed.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In her classes, Pero instructed students to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/29508?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">use filters on Google image search\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to easily access images that are free to share. Even when using such searches, teachers can set the expectation that students should credit the image creators.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, Pero oversaw her schools’ yearbook class, and she instructed students to give photo credit for each photo whether they were taken professionally or by peers. “One year, we made a yearbook that mimicked Survivor’s logo,” said Pero. She told students that if they wanted to go through with the idea, “We need to get permission because we’re going to publish like 400 of these.” Student sent an image of the yearbook logo to Survivor’s production team to confirm that it was okay to use. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Inviting students to connect with creators \u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Pero’s students did independent choice reading, she invited them to give authors a shoutout on social media. As part of the assignment, students identified the author’s social handle and tagged them in a post about what they read. If the student didn’t have a social account she did it from her own account. “They were amazed at the [response] they got,” said Pero. This simple act allowed students to connect with the creators behind the works they engage with, fostering a deeper appreciation for writers and artists. Learning more about the origins of the works they appreciate can empower students and develop their agency. Starting these habits early lays the foundation for a future where acknowledging sources becomes second nature. “Let’s get kids in the habit, students in the habit, adults in the habit of saying, ‘I got this from here. It’s not mine,'” Pero said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/62986/demystifying-copyright-for-teachers-and-students","authors":["11721"],"categories":["mindshift_20579","mindshift_195","mindshift_21358","mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_1023","mindshift_528","mindshift_529","mindshift_862","mindshift_822","mindshift_968","mindshift_546"],"featImg":"mindshift_62987","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_62860":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_62860","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"62860","score":null,"sort":[1702138220000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"can-ai-someday-help-universities-sort-through-college-essays","title":"Can AI someday help universities sort through college essays?","publishDate":1702138220,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Can AI someday help universities sort through college essays? | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was \u003ca href=\"https://www.chalkbeat.org/colorado/2023/12/08/researchers-use-ai-to-analyze-college-essays/\" rel=\"canonical\">originally published\u003c/a> by Chalkbeat.

Access free social services\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In addition to recreation and entertainment, many libraries in the U.S. offer programs to support the community.

The tool was supposed to enable teachers to tailor their instruction to individual students’ learning needs, but even the kids with strong math skills weren’t doing well. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At a training session this summer, Pitts, a teacher at Oakdale Elementary in Sandy, Utah, learned why: The program works best when teachers supervise kids rather than sending them off to do exercises on their own. Her school had received free software licenses through a state-funded project, but she’d initially missed the formal instruction on how to use the program because she was out sick. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“A lot of times with education, we have to figure things out on our own,” she said. “But having that training, I’m so much more encouraged that I can improve my teaching.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">School systems spend \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://edtechevidence.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/FINAL-K12-EdTech-Funding-Analysis_v.1.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">tens of billions of dollars\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> each year on ed tech products, but much of that money is wasted.

Experts say it’s a promising model for alleviating some of the problems plaguing ed tech. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s “driving more accountability,” said Tal Havivi, senior director of industry partnerships at the International Society for Technology in Education, which connects educators and ed tech providers. While he’s unaware of other states doing anything similar at this scale, he said there’s a growing movement among school districts to write contracts that require ed tech providers to show results before they are paid.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That movement can’t grow fast enough, according Keith Krueger, CEO of the Consortium for School Networking, which represents school tech leaders. During the pandemic, school systems dramatically expanded the number of software products they used as companies offered free subscriptions for a limited time and the federal government showered districts with emergency funding, he said. But many of the products weren’t high quality.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There’s a coming reckoning as the pandemic funding comes to an end over the next year,” Krueger said. “School districts will have to make choices.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Utah state legislature created the personalized learning program in response to concerns that students were falling behind in math. The project would identify software programs that showed evidence of improving student math performance and give free licenses to school districts that applied for them. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But at first, few teachers took note. Halfway through the project’s first school year, 2014-15, just 9% of licenses distributed were being used, said Clarence Ames, who coordinates the project for the STEM Action Center, created by the same legislation. So, starting in the second year, the center began requiring software companies to offer in-person instruction for teachers at each participating school before they were paid. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The STEM Action Center made other adjustments too. Because district-level administrators typically requested the software programs, school staff were often unaware of them or learned about them too late for teachers to receive training. So, the center began requiring that district leaders, district IT directors and school principals all sign off. The center also moved up the timeline for schools to get the software — from August to February — so teachers would have ample time to test the products before a new school year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, Ames rewrote ed tech contracts to require companies to return any unused license to the project for use the following school year. The system operates like a money-back guarantee, putting providers on the hook financially. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of these requirements, some companies opt out of partnering, said Ames. The onsite training is expensive. “It’s a challenge for us as an industry because it’s not something companies have typically done,” said Charles Ward, a vice president at ed tech company Derivita, based in Salt Lake City. “But I think that’s on us to figure out.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At a time of increased scrutiny of ed tech, the results from the Utah effort are notable. Since the center retooled its approach, 100% of software licenses in participating districts are opened and used. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The state has also made progress in assessing which math software products correlate with improved student achievement. By collecting data for almost 10 years, the STEM Action team identified nine math tools that show a statistically significant impact on student outcomes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For students using project-approved software, the gains have been real. A 2019 evaluation found that students who used such tools for half an hour or more per week were about 57% more likely to test proficient in math on state standardized math tests than a comparison group who didn’t use them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the pandemic, when learning went online and school districts elsewhere rushed to find proven tech tools to serve students, Utah had an advantage because of its approved provider list, said Ames. When the emergency hit, the state didn’t have to scramble to find vendors whose products showed evidence of success. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That may have shown up in test scores: Utah students’ fourth and eighth grade math scores on national-level tests fell during the pandemic, but the drops were smaller than those in most states. Ames is cautious about drawing conclusions but said the math software likely played a role in keeping Utah’s numbers from falling off a cliff. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But a lot depends on individual teachers: Those whose students more regularly use the software get better outcomes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heidi Watson, a math coach at North Park Elementary in the city of Tremonton, said the training on ed tech tools is invaluable. Using the program’s data, teachers can diagnose individual students’ challenges and more effectively work with them in small groups, she said. Teachers have also learned to refine their assignments — for example, by asking students to complete three modules rather than to spend 20 minutes with the software. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some believe tech tools should minimize the role of teachers. A state leader once suggested moving entirely to software-driven learning to eliminate educators, calling them “the weak link,” Ames recalled. But if anything, Utah’s data suggests that despite the increasing sophistication of tech tools, educators are needed more than ever, Ames said. “100% of our data points to the fact that that is inaccurate,” he said of the argument that teachers have limited value. “The most important variable is the teacher, no matter what.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ames said he’s heard from some other states and districts inquiring about Utah’s model for managing ed tech. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few years ago, the Texas Education Agency adopted Utah’s practice of requiring participating school districts to use only agency-vetted software tools that show evidence of improving student outcomes on state tests. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Math teaching is going better for Pitts this fall. She just had her students take their first quiz on the software, and because she understands the program better, she’s better able to use those results to pinpoint the specific help each student needs. She also knows where on the company’s website to find guidance, including a feature that lets her access other teachers’ real-time tips on how they’re using it, which she didn’t know about last year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most important, she sees how the tool fits with her instruction. “It’s not teaching for you,” she said. “It’s a tool to support your teaching.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This story about ed tech funding was produced by \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Hechinger Report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a nonprofit, independent news organization focused on inequality and innovation in education.

But many of the products weren’t high quality.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There’s a coming reckoning as the pandemic funding comes to an end over the next year,” Krueger said. “School districts will have to make choices.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Utah state legislature created the personalized learning program in response to concerns that students were falling behind in math. The project would identify software programs that showed evidence of improving student math performance and give free licenses to school districts that applied for them. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But at first, few teachers took note. Halfway through the project’s first school year, 2014-15, just 9% of licenses distributed were being used, said Clarence Ames, who coordinates the project for the STEM Action Center, created by the same legislation. So, starting in the second year, the center began requiring software companies to offer in-person instruction for teachers at each participating school before they were paid. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The STEM Action Center made other adjustments too. Because district-level administrators typically requested the software programs, school staff were often unaware of them or learned about them too late for teachers to receive training. So, the center began requiring that district leaders, district IT directors and school principals all sign off. The center also moved up the timeline for schools to get the software — from August to February — so teachers would have ample time to test the products before a new school year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, Ames rewrote ed tech contracts to require companies to return any unused license to the project for use the following school year. The system operates like a money-back guarantee, putting providers on the hook financially. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of these requirements, some companies opt out of partnering, said Ames. The onsite training is expensive. “It’s a challenge for us as an industry because it’s not something companies have typically done,” said Charles Ward, a vice president at ed tech company Derivita, based in Salt Lake City. “But I think that’s on us to figure out.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At a time of increased scrutiny of ed tech, the results from the Utah effort are notable. Since the center retooled its approach, 100% of software licenses in participating districts are opened and used. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The state has also made progress in assessing which math software products correlate with improved student achievement. By collecting data for almost 10 years, the STEM Action team identified nine math tools that show a statistically significant impact on student outcomes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For students using project-approved software, the gains have been real. A 2019 evaluation found that students who used such tools for half an hour or more per week were about 57% more likely to test proficient in math on state standardized math tests than a comparison group who didn’t use them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the pandemic, when learning went online and school districts elsewhere rushed to find proven tech tools to serve students, Utah had an advantage because of its approved provider list, said Ames. When the emergency hit, the state didn’t have to scramble to find vendors whose products showed evidence of success. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That may have shown up in test scores: Utah students’ fourth and eighth grade math scores on national-level tests fell during the pandemic, but the drops were smaller than those in most states. Ames is cautious about drawing conclusions but said the math software likely played a role in keeping Utah’s numbers from falling off a cliff. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But a lot depends on individual teachers: Those whose students more regularly use the software get better outcomes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heidi Watson, a math coach at North Park Elementary in the city of Tremonton, said the training on ed tech tools is invaluable. Using the program’s data, teachers can diagnose individual students’ challenges and more effectively work with them in small groups, she said. Teachers have also learned to refine their assignments — for example, by asking students to complete three modules rather than to spend 20 minutes with the software. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some believe tech tools should minimize the role of teachers. A state leader once suggested moving entirely to software-driven learning to eliminate educators, calling them “the weak link,” Ames recalled. But if anything, Utah’s data suggests that despite the increasing sophistication of tech tools, educators are needed more than ever, Ames said. “100% of our data points to the fact that that is inaccurate,” he said of the argument that teachers have limited value. “The most important variable is the teacher, no matter what.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ames said he’s heard from some other states and districts inquiring about Utah’s model for managing ed tech. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few years ago, the Texas Education Agency adopted Utah’s practice of requiring participating school districts to use only agency-vetted software tools that show evidence of improving student outcomes on state tests. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Math teaching is going better for Pitts this fall. She just had her students take their first quiz on the software, and because she understands the program better, she’s better able to use those results to pinpoint the specific help each student needs. She also knows where on the company’s website to find guidance, including a feature that lets her access other teachers’ real-time tips on how they’re using it, which she didn’t know about last year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most important, she sees how the tool fits with her instruction. “It’s not teaching for you,” she said. “It’s a tool to support your teaching.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This story about ed tech funding was produced by \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Hechinger Report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a nonprofit, independent news organization focused on inequality and innovation in education.

For example, if students are doing a unit on introductions, a teacher might provide examples of what a developing, grade level, and exceeding grade level introduction might look like. Instead of a teacher having to write all of the examples, the examples can be generated by ChatGPT.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another option is \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.briskteaching.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brisk\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Google Chrome extension that adapts articles and other resources for students at different proficiency levels. “You can go to a news article and it’ll tell you the reading level and then you can say, ‘Can you give it to me like an 11th grade New York Times article?’ Or ‘can you give it to me at the sixth grade level in Spanish?'” said Bacon.

Educators can input a YouTube video link and Twee will provide questions about the video content to build students’ listening comprehension skills. Bacon suggested that teachers use Twee during interactive, whole-class activities with students. As an example, a teacher could present a video to the class and prompt students with the questions generated by Twee for classroom discussion. For students who struggle with listening comprehension skills, teachers can use Twee to generate transcripts for videos and work with small groups of students who need extra support.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twee can also make writing prompts, multiple choice questions and fill-in-the blank exercises based on a specific topic for any learning level.

Bacon recalled how different things are from when she started teaching nearly two decades ago. “We operated on paper. We would write things on chalkboards,” said Bacon. In today’s digital age, handwritten lesson plans have become less efficient. Curipod can save time by creating slide decks that teachers can customize as needed, whether it’s at the beginning of a new school year or mid-year to cater to evolving needs in the classroom. Additionally, Curipod will prompt teachers while they are creating slides to add interactive games like the ones found on the popular quiz platform Kahoot. Similar to interactive presentation platforms like Peardeck and Nearpod, Curipod offers ways for students to interact individually with the slides their teacher makes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Refine student writing skills with Pressto\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.joinpressto.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pressto\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is an AI-powered writing assistant.

For example, teachers have prompted students to use ChatGPT \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/60897/everybody-is-cheating-why-this-teacher-has-adopted-an-open-chatgpt-policy\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">to generate project ideas\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.edutopia.org/article/teaching-students-use-ai-tools/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">build critical thinking skills\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.edutopia.org/article/using-ai-encourage-productive-struggle-math-chatgpt-wolfram-alpha\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">check their work\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bacon, who previously was an English teacher, said these tools can also help teachers provide students with different examples and scaffolds. For example, if students are doing a unit on introductions, a teacher might provide examples of what a developing, grade level, and exceeding grade level introduction might look like. Instead of a teacher having to write all of the examples, the examples can be generated by ChatGPT.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another option is \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.briskteaching.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brisk\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Google Chrome extension that adapts articles and other resources for students at different proficiency levels. “You can go to a news article and it’ll tell you the reading level and then you can say, ‘Can you give it to me like an 11th grade New York Times article?’ Or ‘can you give it to me at the sixth grade level in Spanish?'” said Bacon. Brisk will also come up with questions based on the resources so it can be used to make multiple choice quizzes too.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is Brisk Teaching?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/4ikGFxqYTTc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Simplify lesson planning with Twee and Curipod\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://app.twee.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twee\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is designed to help English teachers lesson plan. Educators can input a YouTube video link and Twee will provide questions about the video content to build students’ listening comprehension skills. Bacon suggested that teachers use Twee during interactive, whole-class activities with students. As an example, a teacher could present a video to the class and prompt students with the questions generated by Twee for classroom discussion. For students who struggle with listening comprehension skills, teachers can use Twee to generate transcripts for videos and work with small groups of students who need extra support.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twee can also make writing prompts, multiple choice questions and fill-in-the blank exercises based on a specific topic for any learning level. Bacon explained that if the class is reading a book, Twee can offer recommendations for book-related activities, including vocabulary exercises, discussion prompts and supplementary readings.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://curipod.com\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Curipod\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> uses AI to simplify administrative tasks like creating course materials, schedules and assignments. Bacon recalled how different things are from when she started teaching nearly two decades ago. “We operated on paper. We would write things on chalkboards,” said Bacon. In today’s digital age, handwritten lesson plans have become less efficient. Curipod can save time by creating slide decks that teachers can customize as needed, whether it’s at the beginning of a new school year or mid-year to cater to evolving needs in the classroom. Additionally, Curipod will prompt teachers while they are creating slides to add interactive games like the ones found on the popular quiz platform Kahoot. Similar to interactive presentation platforms like Peardeck and Nearpod, Curipod offers ways for students to interact individually with the slides their teacher makes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Refine student writing skills with Pressto\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.joinpressto.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pressto\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is an AI-powered writing assistant. It’s different from language-focused AIs like ChatGPT in that it provides real-time feedback on grammar, style and clarity, helping students enhance their essays, reports and assignments. Pressto not only corrects errors but also explains the reasoning behind suggested changes. Bacon suggested that teachers project their screen while doing a writing demonstration and read the suggestions from Pressto so instruction is embedded. Bacon also noted that Pressto was willing to sign \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/EDN/2-D\">Education Law 2-D\u003c/a> paperwork, which would make them compliant with New York’s student data privacy laws.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Welcome to Pressto\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/o8Z4j802sfM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While all of the AI tools Bacon recommended are free, she notes that these products may start to charge for use. New AI products are always coming out, however, so it’s likely that teachers can find a few that fit their needs. Bacon frequently scans Facebook and TikTok for groups and resources about new tools. “Things are coming out so fast, it is hard to keep up,” wrote Bacon in an email.
