After watching another group of students engage in book club conversation, we thought about an idea we wanted to share with our group and engaged in conversation. We're using the sentences: I notice.... This makes me think...



We are immersing ourselves in the ideas of literary essay writing and the way we can write about what we read. We have discovered that a possible common theme of Ish and The Dot, both by Peter Reynolds, is that if we change the way we think, it's possible to change the way we feel. Both are great books showing the power of encouraging words.



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."
