Sal Khan to Schools: Don't Ban ChatGPT
https://www.edweek.org/technology/sal-khan-to-schools-dont-ban-chatgpt/2023/02
Sal Khan is one of my go-to voices in education. He is the founder of the Khan Academy and I have suggested his education site to many leaders of young people in institutions. I found his insight around ChatGPT refreshing. We don’t prepare young people for the future by banning anything—content or technology. Wise educators find a way to incorporate innovative concepts and techniques into their teaching rather than try and ban them.

The Quest for Character: What the Story of Socrates and Alcibiades Teaches Us About Our Search for Good Leaders
I’m so happy to see this story of Socrates and Alcibiades getting dusted off the shelf and put into the public eye. The timing couldn’t be more important. What I fear is that educators will see this article and approach character-development in a traditional classroom manner. “We know what is best for your character and will come up with a list of character traits that WE will tell you about and YOU will learn. Then, we will test you on your retention at the end of the semester.” Children come to school with values already growing in them. We learn WHAT we value by WHO values us. We need to create opportunities for children to express the values already growing in them and then practice them in a real-world environment.
