This week I've been wrestling with a "this, not that" phrasing. This is an attempt to create narratives for teaching that lead with the idea that we want more of these stories and fewer of the others. What grounds this are the following thoughts: -Technology doesn’t replace teachers. It reveals what teachers were always doing that mattered. -When students explain, justify, notice, and argue—they are doing work no system can automate. Not because it’s inefficient. But because it’s human. -AI may scale information. EdTech may scale access. But classrooms still scale attention, judgment, care, and meaning—through people. Closing Reflection: Finish this sentence honestly: “In my classroom, the most important technology is ________.” (No right answers. Just noticing.)
