A leading expert in AI is urging lawmakers to rapidly pass new legislation to regulate Agentic AI, a ground-breaking new form of AI capable of completing complex goal-oriented tasks without the need of a human prompt. President of the European Responsible AI Office (EURAIO) Nell Watson made the call today during her keynote speech at Learnovation 2024, the annual summit on the future of work and learning, which took place at the Aviva Stadium. Alongside her role as head of the EURAIO, Nell is an executive consultant for Apple and a senior scientific advisor to The Future Society, an independent non-profit focused on developing and implementing governance mechanisms for AI. She has also been a senior fellow to The Atlantic Council, a US think tank. The theme of Learnovation 2024 is 'Navigating the Future of Learning', with speakers and workshops focused on preparing learners for the challenges of the 21st century and the future of work. Learnovation is the annual summit organised by The Learnovate Centre, a leading global future of work and learning research hub funded by Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland and based at Trinity College Dublin. Nell told Learnovation 2024 this morning that autonomous Agentic AI represents a significant upgrade on traditional AI and generative AI models which require human prompts. In response, industry must prepare workers for the introduction of the technology with new workplace training and upskilling programmes that teach innovative and independent thinking. She also told the conference that, while applications of Agentic AI will have positive effects for many, especially those with disabilities, lawmakers and officials must still move quickly to pass new laws and regulations to defend workers' rights from bad corporate actors. They must also, she says, legislate to ensure developers impose limits on the AI itself so that it does not breach the law while working to achieve its goals. President of the European Responsible AI Office Nell Watson says: "Agentic AI promises to dramatically change the world of work and learning. It's vital that we start preparing people for that change through education, training and upskilling, and new laws and regulations to ensure that the rights of people are not sacrificed in the pursuit of corporate profit. "This technology has vast potential. Applications in virtual reality will allow people to learn new skills in low-stakes virtual environments. It will make learning more inclusive with applications for people with reduced hearing or sight loss, or those with speech issues. Applying Agentic AI to learning will have life-changing effects for many people. However, it remains hugely important that officials take action now to regulate this technology and protect workers' rights before Agentic AI becomes ubiquitous, rather than spend valuable time playing catch-up later." Director of The Learnovate Centre, Nessa McEniff, said: "Learnovation 2024 is looking at some extremely interesting and topical issues including how to recognise and remove barriers for innovation in learning and how to embed AI in education in ways that are both effective and responsible. We will also explore AI's role in learning technology and focus on corporate learning in the 21st Century and how to prepare for the challenges of the future workplace." The event's host is Dr. Mary Kelly, Academic Dean at Hibernia College, who also gave the opening address. Other speakers at Learnovation 2024 include: Richard Culatta, CEO at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and the Association for Supervision of Curriculum Development (ASCD), non-profit global education organisations based in Washington that are focused on accelerating innovation in education and elevating learning to meet the needs of all students.

How can we provide the tools teachers and, by extension, their students need to declutter thoughts, manage time better, and remain focused and productive? With her approachable style, educator and trainer Nichole Carter demonstrates how unlocking the creative brain can help improve mental health and problem-solving ability, as well as lead to better self-awareness and time management. Filled with the author's original illustrations, the book shares ideas and techniques for developing an effective, personalized system to improve productivity and address teacher burnout. The book can also help teachers help students — particularly those in older grades — prioritize and think through their thoughts, goals and actions to be more productive learners.

How old were you when you got your first cell phone? Did “going online” ever involve listening to a series of pained squeaks and static, willing the family PC to connect to…whatever it is it connected to? Today, children are presented with a sparkling array of digital tools that many of us could barely fathom as kids. How are parents and caregivers supposed to guide small humans into the digital realm without feeling completely overwhelmed? Instead of telling children what NOT to do online, EdTech expert Richard Culatta argued we should spend more time teaching kids HOW to navigate the online world. Cyberbullies happen. Social media isn't going away, and neither are online games. In his new book, Digital for Good, Culatta helped caregivers prepare kids for navigating the tricky situations they will undoubtedly encounter as they move through the digital world, and offers straightforward advice for raising good digital citizens.

MTT038| Assistive Technology Part 3, Dive Into UDL - Luis Perez & Kendra Grant Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, we will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. Luis Perez joins us again with co-author, Kendra Grant, of the book “Dive Into UDL”. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for designing instruction that meets the needs of every learner. They discuss an overview of UDL, showing how to offer flexibility in methods of presentation, student participation and expression to support high achievement for all students, including those with disabilities or limited English proficiency. “Dive into UDL” shows K-12 educators how to incorporate UDL in their instructional design and engage in continuous professional growth. The book also appeals to those in coaching positions and to administrators seeking to support their staff. The book offers three modes of entry to allow educators to “start where they are” in their understanding of UDL and how it applies to their areas of instruction; shows educators how to enhance and transform their instructional practices by applying a UDL lens to analyze and redesign lessons; illustrates how to design accessible materials and use technology to provide more options for learners; and highlights how UDL is foundational to inquiry-based, project-based and constructivist hands-on learning.

When people ask me what our best insurance is against being made irrelevant by AI, I always reply: rethink education. On this week’s show, I spoke to someone doing just that. Richard Culatta is the CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and prior to which, was the chief innovation officer for the state of Rhode Island and the director of the Office of Educational Technology for the U.S. Department of Education. For Richard, the future of education is more than just digital textbooks or electronic whiteboards - the real challenge is whether we can leverage disruptive technology to fundamentally reimagine the experience of learning. Duplicating existing education processes are doomed for failure, as is any approach that treats all students the same. We chatted about the real potential of personalized learning, whether AI will replace traditional teachers, and what companies like GM are doing to help reboot the education system to prepare kids for the Algorithmic Age.

Then he decided to write a letter to the Lord requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to the Lord, USA, they decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill, as this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00, and sat down to write a thank-you note to the Lord. It said: Dear Lord, Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, DC and as usual, those jerks deducted $95. On Our Mind: ISTE 2010 and Back Channels . . .
