AI can now generate a unique textbook for every child based on their interests, which is genuinely impressive. But interactive whiteboards were genuinely impressive, and they didn't help learning. The classic failure mode of ed tech is the solution in search of a problem - the genuinely impressive technology that does not solve any of the actual problems schools face. substack.nomoremarking.com/p…

Why personalising education based on student interests doesn’t work

You can't learn everything through the medium of Taylor Swift

I've said this for years, but existing VR headsets have garbage UI and are saved only because once you launch into a game, the whole experience is taken over by something you actually want to do. Apple is trying to do the opposite, no games, but a UX you actually want to use.

My heart!! 😭😭💖💖💖💖 Seeing children interact with my work is always so humbling. To think that the next generation will grow up with holograms, and that they'll learn with them the same way I did with Kid Pix... This is history happening before our eyes.

Our son is loving testing out @FigminXR in @tiltfive in preparation for some upcoming demonstrations to students. One of the first things I showed him was an amazing @ewanrose_art painting and he's hooked!

Powerful. Emotional. Thought-provoking. Just some of the words used by our people, guests, and students from @ManMetUni who attended the #LGBTQ+ VR Museum this week in Manchester. A perfect exhibition of how technology can create empathy. #ProudAtDeloitte #DifferentLens 🌈🙌

I've also yet to see a tech journalist acknowledge the large and growing number of cognitive scientists like Birhane who reject the idea that thinking is statistical pattern-matching.

Zoom laying off 15% of staff, but this part of the announcement is incredibly important and should really set a standard for all other tech corporation leadership.
