Phone bans in schools fail. UK data shows 99.8% of primary & 90% of secondary schools restrict phones, yet conflict & distraction remain. One school group switched to locked pouches from bell to bell & cut phone-related safeguarding incidents by 81% and behavior issues by 94%. #EduSky
PowerSchool & Chicago Public Schools will pay $17.25M to settle claims they tracked student data without consent. The suit says they recorded Ss activity on Naviance & shared data with vendors. Over 10M Ss who logged in from 2021 to 2026 qualify. At your school, do you know who sees your data?
77% of teachers say keeping up with AI tools stresses them.
65% think their district moves too slow on safe, curriculum-aligned AI.
This stress hits all ages, from 18 to 54.
64% want one unified AI platform to cut workload.
If AI saves time, why do most teachers feel more pressure? #AIEduSky
US lawmakers want AI chatbots to verify users’ ages. 80% of parents fear companies will store kids’ age data, and 86% fear it will be sold or shared. Congress is weighing a bill to require age checks & block minors from digital companions. How do will you handle students's data? #AIEduSky #EduSky
Almost 90% of US teachers report a cyberattack forced a school closure. AI now mimics a superintendent’s writing style, so phishing emails look real & steal student data. Schools face more risk than banks. One district sent a fake phish to staff to train them before attackers strike. #AIEduSky.
Gr 11 students trained an AI model at Durham College last week. They used Google’s platform and debated ethics and bias in real time. The program runs through Ontario’s Dual Credit funding. One workshop is not a national plan. Ask why access depends on postal code. #AIEduSky
AI is entering EU schools faster than most people think. Italy is testing it in public schools & signed a 2025 deal to give unit access to ChatGPT Edu, and Lithuania invested €1.7M to give 330k students Copilot. Spain & Greece see students use chatbots daily, yet lack national rules 🤷🏻♀️

Most students use AI for school.
Prof brings AI into class with rules and disclosure.
One prof writes code live from student prompts & rewrites slides in slang.
Another drops assignments AI finishes in minutes & shifts goals to thinking & writing.
Teach AI & students can learn judgment #AIEduSky

Students use AI for uni schoolwork.
Professors bring AI into class with rules.
One builds an AI TA trained on lectures and assignments.
A professor grades AI chats where you argue with the bot.
You learn with AI, then face paper exams with device bans. Is this the future in unis? #AIEduSky

OpenAI launched the EMEA Youth & Wellbeing Grant.
€500,000 funds NGOs and researchers in Europe, Middle East, Africa.
Projects focus on youth safety, AI literacy, and research on AI impact.
By why OpenAi doesn't bake in that safety in its models from the get-go? #AIEduSky #EduSky

India 🇮🇳 is falling behind China 🇨🇳 in coding education.
China made coding mandatory in schools. Trained teachers. Built national curriculum since 2017.
India let private companies lead. Rich kids learn. Poor kids wait.
By 2040, this gap will be about power. #EduSky #AIEduSky

41% of US teens support banning phones during class.
Only 17% want them gone all day.
They know phones hurt focus but still want control.
If you want your ban to work:
• Stay consistent
• Offer real alternatives
• Build trust over time
Start small. Let them meet you halfway. #EduSKy

Schools are rushing to teach AI.
But they’re ignoring one key player: librarians.
Librarians already teach research, media literacy, and tech.
They know how to help students use AI wisely.
So why aren’t schools putting them in charge of AI education?
Totally agree. But there are no incentives to change as long as higher ed admissions are based on grades, SAT scores, entrance exams. Unis need to change 1st before k-12 change their ways.
image
Over half of Europeans think AI helps and harms education.
Support is highest in Finland and Estonia.
But in France and Ireland, over a quarter want no AI in classrooms.
The tech is moving fast.
Are schools keeping up?

Child care is not babysitting. In Québec, CPEs build language, empathy, motor skills, and self-control from birth to age five. Educators don’t mind kids. They teach them. Data shows early learning has the highest return on investment in education. #internationaldayofeducation #EduSky

A child’s digital footprint starts the day you sign them up for a school app.
Most platforms collect data you never see.
Default settings share more than you think.
Ask what’s collected, who sees it, and how long it stays.
Privacy isn’t a one-time choice, it’s a habit you teach early. #AiEduSky

Nearly every teen in Seoul is using ChatGPT.
A 2025 study found 95% of middle and high school students tried generative AI.
Most use it for Korean and English homework.
But 90% of teachers say students rely on it too much.
What happens when no one writes on their own anymore? #AIEduSky #EduSky

Want your kid to learn a new language fast? Turn on the TV.
Skip flashcards and grammar drills.
Let them watch cartoons in Spanish or French with subtitles.
They’ll soak up words without stress, and you might too.

AI is changing how families find schools.
They’re using AI to search, ask questions, even fill out applications.
But most private schools aren’t ready.
Their data is outdated, their systems are closed, and their teams aren’t aligned.
If your school isn’t training for AI, you’re already behind.

AI deepfakes hit a middle school.
Two students created nude images of classmates using AI tools.
One victim got expelled after punching a boy she believed did it.
The tech is free, fast, and hard to trace.
Still think your kid’s school is ready?
image
Most school tech fails. Not bc it's bad tech but bc schools skip the rollout process.
Follow those 4 steps: assess, set goals, test, then roll out slow.
Start small, work with willing teachers, and track student impact not device counts. #EduSky

Tried using tech in class and it backfired?
You’re not alone.
Teachers test links, prep devices, plan perfectly & things still break.
That's not failure. That's learning.
Start small. Use one tool well. Then grow.

Banning phones doesn’t fix phone addiction. Students still struggle when they go home. Instead, teach them to notice when tech helps & when it drains.
Start with one question:
“When did your phone help you yesterday? When did it hurt?”
That’s how digital wellness begins #AIEduSky #EduSky
Canada published its 1st national standard for accessible AI. It forces developers to build fairness into AI from day one. People with disabilities shaped the guidelines from start to finish. The goal: no more barriers baked into tech. AI should work for everyone or it doesn’t work at all. #AIEduSky
A teacher used AI in her Grade 10 classroom for 4 weeks.
Students were more focused.
Writing became collaborative.
Equity improved: everyone got support at their level.
Best part? They spent more time thinking, not less.
AI didn’t replace teaching. It made it human again. #AIEduSky

“Six-seven!” keeps echoing through your school?
Don’t shut it down.
Kids use trends like this to bond, cope, and claim space.
Join the joke, study the pattern, then guide the energy.
Let the fad build connection, not friction. #EduSky
image
AI fakes are hitting the courtroom.
And judges aren’t ready.
So a Canadian team is building a free tool to help spot AI-generated evidence.
No black boxes. No experts needed.
Trials need truth, not deepfakes. Will it be better than Turnitin? #AiEduSky #EduSky

A full K-12 and college education now costs $1.
AutumnEducation-AI launched a full AI-based curriculum covering everything: math, science, history, coding.
$1 gives lifetime access.
No ads. No upsells.
Is this the end of student debt? #AIEduSky #EduSky

Two-thirds of US voters now say a college degree isn’t worth the money.
Ten years ago, most believed it was.
Now Gen Z is picking trade schools and skipping four-year universities.
The question is: would you make the same choice today?
Because millions are. #EduSky
