When Should AI Be Used in the Classroom? Learning Science Offers a Guide
In the face of rapid technology change, our students’ future careers may look nothing like the jobs we know today. Sitting in classrooms and learning facts rather than developing cutting-edge tech skills can feel like wasted time. And yet there is significant pushback on technology in schools, including one-year AI bans in the nation’s two largest school districts.

We return to CMU’s Self-Regulated Learning Model.
