The ELT Buzz Digest
All the most recent "buzz" in education and English language teaching. Feb. 25.
Dear Teachers,
Lots to peruse in our digest below!
This week, I’d like to highlight this article - The Cost of AI in Education by Marc Watkins. Some sane thoughts of how schools are being led down the garden path by those selling Ai. He outlines the reasons and I’d also add, we got to think of the opportunity cost - the cost of using AI in schools, the lost opportunity of what we are already doing right, right now and KNOW is working.
All the best, David
