As Generative AI becomes increasingly sophisticated, it’s becoming harder to know if what you read was generated by a human or a machine. Did a human type the words you are reading right now?
The answer is yes. I am human. I feel the plastic computer keys under my fingertips. I have jazz playing in the background. The breeze from my ceiling fan is cooling the humid September air. My dog is giving me the stink eye because he insists he needs a walk even though we just got back from one 15 minutes ago.
Do you believe me?
I’m guessing you at least paused before you answered that question.
Why am I asking? Because at Tech & Learning, we make a promise to our readers that the articles we publish are written by real humans disseminating real stories about your peers in education. And we are thrilled to welcome back one of my favorite humans, Kevin Hogan.
If you’ve ever met Kevin – and if you work in a school district or for an education provider, odds are you have met him or read his work – you know he is a master of meaningful conversations.
This is why our new weekly article/podcast series, “Tech & Learning Conversations,” could not be better hosted than by this edtech veteran reporter who digs beyond the prompts to get to the human side of every story.
The stats alone would be enough to be excited: Kevin has been reporting on education technology for more than 20 years. He’s hosted popular podcasts, disseminated education trends to extract the facts that matter in his articles, and covered every major education conference. But the human side is what sets his reporting apart. He is wicked smart, funny, kind, and offers a unique human perspective to all of these conversations, which you will find weekly on Tech & Learning’s website and every Tuesday in our new Innovative Leader Report.
Each week, Kevin will interview innovative edtech leaders from school districts, industry, researchers, and more to discuss:
- Industry Trends: Not the clickbait headlines, but the real trends that are impacting student success.
- Overcoming Challenges: No bush beating here – real educators share their solutions to the challenges they’ve encountered, from the classroom to the board room.
- A Look Ahead Beyond the Bells & Whistles: What technology is likely to make a real impact in teaching and learning – and what is more likely hot air.
As we learned at our recent EdExec Summit, the success of our students depends on strong partnerships between those who lead our schools and those who develop the tools that support them. “Tech & Learning Conversations with Kevin Hogan” highlights those who are getting this right.
