My recent post on the challenges of using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in EdTech received various responses.

The college admissions process felt daunting as I began my senior year of high school. It was what my entire life and education had been leading up to.

I’ve been waiting impatiently to write my review of Paul LeBlanc’s Broken: How Our Social Systems Are Failing Us and How We Can Fix Them. I was lucky enough to get a pre-release copy.
