ELT Buzz Digest - June 10th
All the buzz in English language teaching.
Dear Teachers,
Here is our “buzz” for this week.
My recommended reading this week? Just one thing. Let’s return and think of AI regulation as set out by the White House in their AI Bill of Rights. Sensational, practical ideas about AI governance. Very rare sanity from a government but the large question, will these principles be regulated or just remain as pretty words?
P.S. Our Lesson Library continues to grow and publish - you can now get notified of all new things published through our Follow It service. Customize as you wish.
Regards. David - ELT Buzzer-In-Chief
