"Communicating with clarity is essential in all early childhood settings and across all developmental domains. It requires educators to use a variety of instructional modes and intentional, language-based interactions with children (Thunder et al. 2022)."

In this blog Meghan Hargrave, Nancy Frey, and I discuss the importance of addressing the credibility issue and learning the skills of being critical consumers. #Education #AIinEducation #artificialIntelligence #schoolleaders #teachers
