The Global Read Aloud - begins in October

# data[].attributes.body
Connect your kids with classes around the country (potentially the world) around reading! Early readers through young adult.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The project was created in 2010 with a simple goal in mind; one book to connect the world. From its humble beginnings, the GRA has grown to make a truly global connection with milllions of students having participated.

What is it?

The premise is simple; we pick a book to read aloud to our students during a set 6-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. Each teacher decides how much time they would like to dedicate and how involved they would like to be. Some people choose to connect with just one class, while others go for as many as possible. The scope and depth of the project is up to you. While there are commonly used such as Skype, Twitter, Padlet, or Flipgrid, you choose the tools that will make the most sense for you. Teachers get a community of other educators to do a global project with, hopefully inspiring them to continue these connections through the year.

When is it?

Once a year, starting in early October and running through mid-November. Due to the time commitment, this is only a once a year project, however, two fantastic spin-off projects run at other times; the New Zealand Read Aloud and the French version of GRA, Ecouter Lire le Monde.

Against Tech Hype

Hype, hope, disappointment.

Hype is the rhetoric of tech billionaires, of VCs, of tech-pushers, of AI boosters and AI doomers. Hype is about attention, grabbing it, holding it. Hype is about resources, gathering them, directing them. Hype is about control.

Tech hype is a problem for our society and our schools. It points our time, our energy, our attention, and our resources in the wrong direction. It obstructs our reasoning and impedes our decision-making.

Join us as we work against tech hype, and toward humane and just futures.

Join us for our annual Civics of Technology Conference.

Our fifth annual Civics of Technology conference will be held online on August 6th and 7th, 2026, from 11-3 Eastern Time. We are delighted to share our esteemed keynote speakers: Dr. Meredith Broussard and Ms. Natasha Singer!

Call for Proposals

We invite your proposals to share your work and ideas at our conference! We welcome proposals that align with our conference theme, but that is not required. We will be offering sessions across a variety of formats, including traditional presentations, workshops, panels, or other creative options.

Submit your proposed conference session here
Proposals are due by June 14th, will be reviewed, and invitation letters will be sent by early July. Note that we have a limited number of conference sessions available, so we may not be able to accept all of the proposals that we receive.

Support the Conference!

As in previous years, our organization is fully committed to making our conference free to all.

But for those who are able and willing, we would greatly appreciate financial support from our community. If you are willing and able to support our conference and our ongoing work, please consider doing so here.

AI-generated images are notorious for including intense colors, which can often be a giveaway that they aren't real. But this is only sometimes the case. Poisonous frogs are known for vibrant, almost surreal colors and patterns, which may lead one to question even the real photos. Vivid subjects can make it difficult to determine whether something is real simply by looking at colors.

In this case, the AI-generated image is actually more colorful, though that alone may not tell everything. Another area you can evaluate is the texture and pattern complexity. In the real version, the frog's spots are much more detailed, whereas the AI version has spots that are much more simplistic.

High Adoption: A majority of teens use AI chatbots, and they are already a standard tool for schoolwork. Over half of teens have used them to search for information or get help with assignments.

Academic Use: While many use them for research or math help, 10% of teens report doing "all or most" of their schoolwork with AI assistance.

Perception of Cheating: A majority of teens (59%) believe that using AI to cheat is a regular occurrence at their school.

Teens' Outlook: Generally, teens view the personal impact of AI more positively than negatively, though they are more skeptical about its broader impact on society.

Parental Gap: There is a disconnect between home and school; while 64% of teens report using AI chatbots, only 51% of parents are aware their teen uses them. Many parents are comfortable with academic or informational uses but are less supportive of using AI for emotional support or companionship.

Below you'll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Lego Self Portrait Tutorial Video and a Lego Self Portrait Coloring Page. A little shading can go a long way in making those flat shapes look 3D.

Lego Self Portrait Drawing

Lego Self Portrait Tutorial Video

Why draw a Lego Self Portrait?

If your students are ready to learn more about how to make a SHAPE look like it has FORM, and you would like to add some self-expression too, a Lego Self Portrait project might be just what you need. The bodies are really simple to draw - very geometric and symmetrical - and the face even more so! By simplifying all those aspects of drawing themselves, students can just focus on their hair, and the color and shading of their clothes. It's so easy for them to get distracted and try to draw everything perfectly, that it's helps to sometimes to take a few things off the table, so they can stay focused on the lesson.

If shading is new for your students, this project is a good introduction to the idea. Many are probably used to coloring with their crayons just one way, with a medium pressure that creates a medium shade of color. That's great for starters, they just need to learn how to go back afterwards and press harder to make an even darker shade of color in certain areas.
The good thing about doing it with Legos is that the big shapes are so easy to work with. There are no small wrinkles or details to worry about, just large geometric shapes that gradually get a little darker in one corner.

Two new reports caution that if schools make missteps implementing AI, the results could haunt them for years, locking them into a future largely written by big tech instead of those closest to kids.

The reports, both the results of small, intensive gatherings of educators, policymakers, researchers, tech officials and students last year, share a common warning: AI in schools must serve human-centered learning that doesn't simply push for more efficiency. To do anything else risks creating a generation of young people ill-equipped for the future.

The findings come as young people say they're turning to generative AI more than ever: A Pew Research Center survey released last week found that more than half of teens ages 13 to 17 use chatbots to search for information or get help with schoolwork. About four in ten report using AI to summarize articles, books or videos or create or edit images or videos. And about one-in-five say they use chatbots to get news.

For the first report, a group of 18 people met in July in Phoenix. Brought together by AI for Education, a training and policy organization, and Imagine Learning, a digital curriculum company, the report treats the question of how schools should view AI as a literal "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" story: The authors lay out three possible scenarios in which educators in an imaginary school district make radically different decisions about the technology.

In the first scenario, the district retreats from AI altogether after a data breach, abandoning a previously created "Innovation Lab," while teachers return to traditional instruction and testing.

The restrictions soon backfire. Students continue using AI at home, but without guidance, take shortcuts on homework, developing a kind of survival mechanism they privately call "school brain." Seeing how irrelevant most lessons are, they do just enough to get by, offloading thinking to AI tools. When tested, they show shallow understanding and poor foundational skills.

Test scores plummet, college acceptances drop and 40% of graduates land on academic probation. Employers report that graduates can neither work independently nor collaborate effectively with AI. Teachers begin departing in waves.

Retreating from AI, the authors find, creates "the worst of both worlds" - students who can neither think independently nor use AI effectively.

In the second scenario, the district, facing competition from AI-driven private schools, goes all-in, adopting a comprehensive, district-wide AI platform for automated instruction. The platform promises greater efficiency via AI tutors, automated grading and behavioral monitoring. And while it initially lowers costs and produces higher test scores, teachers find that students are soon gaming the algorithms rather than learning. The auto-grader penalizes valid but unconventional answers, while multilingual learners are unfairly penalized for non-standard answers on tests.

Teachers find themselves defending grades they didn't assign and can't fully explain, while families that challenge grades are stopped by "proprietary algorithms" that even administrators can't review. The system delivers "a black box" that removes human judgment: "Students could feel the difference between being evaluated by an algorithm and being understood by a teacher."

Before long, graduates struggle with collaboration, creativity and adaptability - skills employers and colleges increasingly value.

In the report's third choice, the district, via its Innovation Lab, redesigns its offerings to prepare students for an AI-driven future while keeping a focus on "human-centered" education. Rather than focusing solely on technology, it develops a "graduate profile" that emphasizes critical thinking, ethical reasoning and human-AI collaboration, among other indicators.

The lab shifts to flexible, project-based learning, and students soon learn to use AI as a tool that supports but doesn't replace their thinking. While the district continues to satisfy state accountability through testing, it also pursues federal innovation grants to fund portfolio-based assessment systems based on the graduate profile.

All is not rosy, though. The redesign is expensive and hard on teachers. Enrollment suffers as political resistance builds steam. But graduates soon demonstrate an ability to critically evaluate AI tools, adapt quickly to workplace changes and develop a "learn how to learn" mindset that serves them in the long term.

Alumni soon report that their "robust" portfolios of work are a huge advantage in competitive job markets, and employers say they are the only new hires who critically evaluate AI's recommendations, spotting hallucinations and biases.

Amanda Bickerstaff, AI for Education's co-founder and CEO, said the first two scenarios are what educators at the July convening said they were seeing most often in schools.

"There was a strong recognition from everyone, including the students, the two high schoolers, that the traditional methods have not worked ... for decades," she said. "But it feels safer."

As for going "all in" on AI, she said, that point of view is inevitable in many places, given current aggressive efforts of tech giants like Google who are "pushing into schools," going direct to students.

"There's this real pressure from both ed tech and AI itself, because it's such a big market that's never really been figured out," she said.

What makes it worse is that few tech firms employ enough teachers to ensure that their products work well for students. "They don't have hundreds of education people," Bickerstaff said. Their education teams are "fractions of their headcount, working on tools that are instantly in students' hands."

The third path, in which the district redesigns its offerings, is "the most human" of the three, she said, and the most intentional. "The third path is the one that trusts humans and educators and students and families," Bickerstaff said.

'Explicitly ambidextrous' schooling

Another paper by the Center on Reinventing Public Education, a think tank at Arizona State University, also calls for a new approach to schools' decisions about AI, saying the technology "should be a catalyst for human-centered learning, not a replacement."

The CRPE report, the result of another gathering in November, asserts that schools are at a pivotal moment. Their AI policies could go one of two ways: They can either entrench outdated educational models or help bring about a fundamental transformation of schooling.

"One of the big things that came out of those discussions was a strong feeling among the group that AI is currently being thought of as a productivity tool for the education system that we have, rather than a tool to radically improve teaching and learning and outcomes for kids," said Robin Lake, CRPE's executive director.

During its meeting, the group repeatedly discussed an "efficiency paradox" that could make schools faster and cheaper without addressing students' actual needs. To protect against it, they call for a more coherent, human-centered approach that is "explicitly ambidextrous," improving current practices while intentionally building toward new learning models.

The problem with AI, the report alleges, is that it could simply improve the efficiency of outdated educational models. It notes that the Scantron, a time-saving testing technology, for decades reinforced low-level standardized assessments, often at the expense of improved learning.

Instead of using AI as a new kind of Scantron, it says, AI could make way for several innovations, including new assessments that capture real-time performance as students work. It could even measure key non-academic indicators such as belonging, confidence, curiosity and relationship quality.

Lake said the report's idea of an "ambidextrous" approach to AI came from an acknowledgement by the group that "we have to attend to the kids who are in our schools right now - and the teachers," she said. "We have to use whatever technologies are available to make things better, but we also have to make investments in big, really different whole-school designs."

Those could include not just better assessments but ways to help teachers provide "rigorous personalization grounded in the science of learning."

Districts could create classrooms with multiple adults working in teams based on their expertise. And AI could enable schools to match students to internships and other experiences, handling administrative tasks so humans can focus on relationships.

Lake said the group that met in November kept coming back to one idea: Keeping an eye on both the future of school and the reality of the schools we already have.

"A lot of times when we have these conversations about AI and the future of schooling, it feels very floaty and abstract," she said. "So I really appreciated that the fellows had a vision to connect the here-and-now to what kids need to know and [should] be able to do in the future. That feels really important for us all right now."

I recently received an email asking for help with exporting math content from Google Gemini to Google Docs. So here's the problem ...

Google Gemini does a great job creating math content including polynomial fractions, radicals, integrals, matrices, and more.

Note: You will want to use the " Pro" model of Gemini, rather than the " Fast" or " Thinking" models, since the Pro model is designed to handle complex math. Thankfully if you are using a school Google account, you get 100 free "Pro" uses a day, so you can make a lot of math for free.

For example here is some math I generated with Gemini:

The problem happens when we try to export that content to a Google Doc for use in a worksheet or quiz or test or such. Whether you copy and paste the content, or use the "Export to Docs" feature, instead of getting nice math symbols and expressions, you get odd looking code like this:

$$\sqrt[3]{27a^6 b^9 \sqrt{64a^4 b^2}}$$

Thankfully there is a simple and free solution to this problem. See below for my short 10-minute video where I show you how to easily export math content from Gemini to Google Docs, as well as links to the free resources you will need.

No, the AI doesn't "do it for students" - it just makes the process more accessible.

Students need to have a vision and generate a script (create the concept and content). This allows students to focus on the content and process and less on the frills.
