I'm Sidney and I'm in the third grade. This robot when you go on to the app, you can choose, you can use this map on the lights. You can go straight, you can turn, you can also go backwards with this, and you can choose a face for it to go screen. And to turn on you just press red button, I really have fun with it. And then this, we use this thing to transfer heat from hot water to cold water and cold water to hot water. It was really fun because we got a little washers from one cup to the other. And It was so cool how the hot water takes like the cold water really really fast. And then at the end, we all make these, backpack tags, with our names on it. So that way, you know, or other people won't take our bots.

Impact Public Schools wants software to sort students into intervention tiers

Impact Public Schools wants software to sort students into intervention tiers

Impact Public Schools, a Washington charter network, wants a custom tool that sorts students into Tier 1-3 groups from benchmark data and recommends interventions for students in Tiers 2 and 3. Proposals are due Oct. 9. Missouri's North Kansas City Schools wants a dashboard that consolidates data from its student information system and its assessment, attendance and behavior systems. Side by side, the requests suggest one buyer wants to see its data and the other wants to act on it.

  • 01A decade after the national ed-tech plan made dashboards a priority, a 1,751-student charter network is asking software to do the student grouping itself and recommend Tier 2 and 3 interventions.
  • 02North Kansas City's dashboard request is a useful spec to measure against: student information, assessment, attendance and behavior data in one platform, built for district leaders, principals and teachers.

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

A study of 497 faculty at public and private universities in India finds organizational support positively and significantly associated with faculty agility. Agility, in turn, partly links digital transformation to sustainable work outcomes.

  • 01Faculty agility partially mediates the link between digital transformation and sustainable work outcomes; the article frames the takeaway as a conditional: campuses adopting AI may need to plan for faculty readiness and support alongside measuring adoption, rather than treating it as a software purchase alone.
  • 02The findings come from a cross-sectional survey, so they show association rather than cause, and they sit alongside other research where the proposed middle step did not carry AI's effect through.
