Welcome to our Back to School primer, recognizing that in many parts of the U.S. students are already back to school. 
 
It seems like just yesterday that I penned our school year-end edition and in a flash we're getting back in the saddle. We trust you've enjoyed quality time with family and friends. 
 
I'm optimistic that this year brings greater promise for positive change and innovation as teachers, students and parents have had an opportunity to return to a great sense of normalcy. Let's not kid ourselves, the past three years have been a mixed blessing that will redefine our future directions in education.
 
The mass innovation we've experienced, in combination with the acceleration of #AI in education presents both challenges and opportunities to make systemic change with a lens on equity and inclusion. We are facing this challenge head on at our upcoming
14th Canadian EdTech Summit. Please do plan to join us as we have a stellar lineup of speakers and an agenda that promises to immerse you in envisioning the future of education with actionable takeaways!  
 
For the teachers already back in the classroom, here's a great blog article by educator, Alice Keeler on helping you leverage #AI in the classroom>> 100 prompts for teachers to ask ChatGPT
