This week, we discuss CoSN's initiative to train educators in AI readiness, aiming to scale AI adoption in K12 schools nationwide. The program features expert trainers and a K12 Gen AI Maturity Tool to help districts navigate the opportunities and risks of AI integration. Additionally, over 250 tech CEOs, including leaders from companies like Adobe, Microsoft, and IBM, have signed an open letter calling for mandatory AI education in all US schools, highlighting the growing importance of computer science education.
It's not all positive news!!! We'll also cover the troubling issue of PowerSchool districts receiving an extortion attempt from the attackers. Finally, we touch on a viral TikTok trend that is causing widespread panic in schools as students are damaging Chromebooks, leading to shortages and disruptions in learning.
