Ramsey teachers were hard at work today working on curriculum and also exploring AI in education. To help frame the work around AI, we had the pleasure of working with Greg Kulowiec, one of the best ed tech consultants in the country.
From Greg: "I always enjoy working with the educators in Ramsey, New Jersey. They are a thoughtful and engaging group, who are consistently learning leaders in the world of academic technology. Today, we explored artificial intelligence and the potential impact on their role as educators, and the impact on their students. We looked at foundational thinking around AI, understanding how it can provide both significant opportunities and create challenges and risks at the same time. My hope is that everyone left our day together, able to balance two conflicting perspectives. First, a healthy skepticism around AI and second, to be able to embrace a tempered optimism."

Congratulations to the Smith School cast and crew of “Matilda the Musical,” who performed with perfection last weekend. "Matilda the Musical" is a stage musical based on the beloved 1988 children's novel "Matilda" by Roald Dahl. The musical features music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly. It tells the story of Matilda Wormwood, a bright and courageous young girl with extraordinary intelligence and telekinetic powers. BRAVO!!!
