Dear Teachers,
Find our report below. I hope everyone is having a smooth beginning of courses, teaching etc … Slow but sure!
This week, my reading recommendation is this article by the head of Signal, a messaging app - about the problems that AI poses. Insightful. Please note, we’ve also expanded our Teacher Development blog with a full slate of podcasts coming soon. Lots for all teachers there.
Thanks, David
