How do we make sure the AI tools that schools adopt actually get used and have a positive impact? This webinar will explore a factor often overlooked: ensuring that tools reflect the culture and values of classrooms and schools.

GenAI is exciting, but it’s important to be sure that the tools that enter classrooms are used productively to impact outcomes. Why can this be a challenge with edtech, and how might we avoid it during the GenAI wave? This webinar will explore the challenge and offer one possible solution: evaluating cultural fit when procuring tools. With one foot in philosophy and the other in learning science, this perspective responds to growing calls for more human-centered and evidence-based technology design.
