In teaching, “fidelity” refers to closely following specific
procedures for how to teach a lesson or respond to student
behavior. For example, following a curriculum to fidelity
might mean a teacher is required to read from a script, use a
certain tone or expression, or teach from a designated page
in a guidebook on a specific day. While prevalent across
the country, this kind of micromanaging is more common in
schools that serve low-income and minority students.
I’m a former elementary school teacher in the United
States and I now study how teachers make ethical decisions.
This includes how they observe their students and try to help
them – regardless of whether their decisions align with a
prescribed curriculum.
In a recent study, I interviewed 12 teachers about how
they deal with problems that arise in the classroom every day.
These teachers discussed how they came up with responses
based on best practices they had learned from their own
experience as teachers. They also spoke of the knowledge
acquired in professional development courses.
Of the nine who worked in public schools, however, all
but one of the teachers were influenced by pressure to follow
a curriculum to fidelity. This kindergarten teacher described
how, when she was teaching preschool, her students who
lived in a rural area did not understand references to crossing
busy city streets in a book she was required to read as part
of the curriculum. She brought her students outside to the
parking lot to practice street crossing and listen to the noises
of local traffic. This was not part of the curriculum. Had the
teacher followed the curriculum strictly, the students may not
have been able to grasp the lesson from the book.
Research shows that flexibility in teaching methods and
curricula allows teachers and students to participate more
fully in the learning process – and even promotes a more
democratic society. Instead of mandating that teachers stick
to the curriculum word for word, schools should trust teachers
and ask why they want to teach. Working with teachers should
begin with the belief in their good intentions.

Uses of AI in Education
In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Education released a
report titled Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and
Learning: Insights and Recommendations. The department had
conducted listening sessions in 2022 with more than 700 people,
including educators and parents, to gauge their views on AI. The
report noted that “constituents believe that action is required now
in order to get ahead of the expected increase of AI in education
technology – and they want to roll up their sleeves and start
working together.” People expressed anxiety about “future
potential risks” with AI but also felt that “AI may enable achieving
educational priorities in better ways, at scale, and with lower
costs.
AI could serve – or is already serving – in several teachingand-learning roles, for instance:
instructional assistants: AI’s ability to conduct human-like
conversations opens up possibilities for adaptive tutoring or
instructional assistants that can help explain difficult concepts to
students. AI-based feedback systems can offer constructive
critiques on student writing, which can help students fine-tune
their writing skills. Some research also suggests certain kinds of
prompts can help children generate more fruitful questions about
learning. AI models might also support customized learning for
students with disabilities and provide translation for English
language learners; and teaching assistants: AI might tackle some
of the administrative tasks that keep teachers from investing more
time with their peers or students. Early uses include automated
routine tasks such as drafting lesson plans, creating differentiated
materials, designing worksheets, developing quizzes, and
exploring ways of explaining complicated academic materials. AI
can also provide educators with recommendations to meet
student needs and help teachers reflect, plan, and improve their
practice.
Along with these potential benefits come some difficult
challenges and risks the education community must navigate. For
example, both teachers and students face the risk of becoming
overly reliant on AI-driven technology. For students, this could
stifle learning, especially the development of critical thinking. This
challenge extends to educators as well. While AI can expedite
lesson-plan generation, speed does not equate to quality.
Teachers may be tempted to accept the initial AI-generated
content rather than devote time to reviewing and refining it for
optimal educational value.
In light of these challenges, the Department of Education has
stressed the importance of keeping “humans in the loop” when
using AI, particularly when the output might be used to inform a
decision. As the department encouraged in its 2023 report,
teachers, learners, and others need to retain their agency. AI
cannot “replace a teacher, a guardian, or an education leader as
the custodian of their students’ learning,” the report stressed.

OpenAI’s GPT-4 Scores in the Top 1% of Creative Thinking
By Erik Guzik
Of all the forms of human intellect that one might expect
artificial intelligence to emulate, few people would likely place
creativity at the top of their list. Creativity is wonderfully
mysterious—and frustratingly fleeting. It defines us as human
beings—and seemingly defies the cold logic that lies behind the
silicon curtain of machines. Yet, the use of AI for creative
endeavors is now growing.
New AI tools like DALL-E and Midjourney are increasingly part
of creative production, and some have started to win awards for
their creative output. The growing impact is both social and
economic—as just one example, the potential of AI to generate
new, creative content is a defining flashpoint behind the
Hollywood writers’ strike.
And if our recent study into the striking originality of AI is any
indication, the emergence of AI-based creativity—along with
examples of both its promise and peril—is likely just beginning.
When people are at their most creative, they’re responding
to a need, goal, or problem by generating something new—a
product or solution that didn’t previously exist.
In this sense, creativity is an act of combining existing
resources — ideas, materials, knowledge — in a novel way that’s
useful or gratifying. Quite often, the result of creative thinking is
also surprising, leading to something the creator did not — and
perhaps could not — foresee.
Our results?
GPT-4 scored in the top 1 percent of test-takers for the
originality of its ideas. From our research, we believe this marks
one of the first examples of AI meeting or exceeding the human
ability for original thinking.
In short, we believe that AI models like GPT-4 are capable of
producing ideas that people see as unexpected, novel, and
unique. Other researchers are arriving at similar conclusions in
their research of AI and creativity.

Generation y or the millennials: digital natives
The revolution was shaped by the millennials or generation Y. Also known as digital natives, millennials are those born
between 1982 and 1994 and technology is part of their everyday lives: all their activities are mediated by a screen. The concept of on
and off is completely integrated into their lives. However, they were not born into it; they migrated to the digital world from the
analogue one in which they were living.
Unlike previous generations, because of the economic crisis, the world requires them to be better trained to get a job, as
competition is increasing. Unlike their parents, Generation X, digital natives are not satisfied with the world around them and are
ambitious and want to achieve their goals.
However, the millennial generation is labelled as being lazy, narcissistic and spoilt. In fact, in 2014, Time magazine labelled
them as the me-me-me generation.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans
Experts say the rise of artificial intelligence will make most
people better off over the next decade, but many have concerns
about how advances in AI will affect what it means to be human,
to be productive and to exercise free will
By Janna Anderson and Lee Rainie
Digital life is augmenting human capacities and disrupting eons-old
human activities. Code-driven systems have spread to more than
half of the world’s inhabitants in ambient information and
connectivity, offering previously unimagined opportunities and
unprecedented threats. As emerging algorithm-driven artificial
intelligence (AI) continues to spread, will people be better off than
they are today?
The experts predicted networked artificial intelligence will amplify
human effectiveness but also threaten human autonomy, agency
and capabilities. They spoke of the wide-ranging possibilities; that
computers might match or even exceed human intelligence and
capabilities on tasks such as complex decision-making, reasoning
and learning, sophisticated analytics and pattern recognition,
visual acuity, speech recognition and language translation. They
said “smart” systems in communities, in vehicles, in buildings and
utilities, on farms and in business processes will save time, money
and lives and offer opportunities for individuals to enjoy a morecustomized future.
Many focused their optimistic remarks on health care and the
many possible applications of AI in diagnosing and treating
patients or helping senior citizens live fuller and healthier lives.
They were also enthusiastic about AI’s role in contributing to broad
public-health programs built around massive amounts of data that
may be captured in the coming years about everything from
personal genomes to nutrition. Additionally, a number of these
experts predicted that AI would abet long-anticipated changes in
formal and informal education systems.
Yet, most experts, regardless of whether they are optimistic or not,
expressed concerns about the long-term impact of these new tools
on the essential elements of being human. All respondents in this
non-scientific canvassing were asked to elaborate on why they felt
AI would leave people better off or not. Many shared deep
worries, and many also suggested pathways toward solutions. The
main themes they sounded about threats and remedies are
outlined in future reports.

How to be a successful app developer: lessons from the simulation of an app ecosystem
Soo Ling Lim, Peter J. Bentley
Abstract
App developers are constantly competing against each other to win more downloads for their apps. With hundreds of thousands of apps in these online stores, what strategy should a developer use to be successful? Should they innovate, make many similar apps, optimize their own apps or just copy the apps of others? Looking more deeply, how does a complex app ecosystem perform when developers choose to use different strategies? This paper investigates these questions using AppEco, the first Artificial Life model of mobile application ecosystems. In AppEco, developer agents build and upload apps to the app store; user agents browse the store and download the apps. A distinguishing feature of AppEco is the explicit modelling of apps as artefacts. In this work we use AppEco to simulate Apple's iOS app ecosystem and investigate common developer strategies, evaluating them in terms of downloads received, app diversity, and adoption rate.

Literacy Instruction for Young EFL Learners:
A Balanced Approach
Developing literacy skills in a foreign language can begin as
early as foreign language instruction begins. Although some EFL
programs delay literacy instruction for young learners and only
focus on oral language development, studies have shown that it is
not necessary, or even recommended, to take this approach. First,
it is widely known that literacy skills in the native or first language
(L1) can be transferred to reading and writing in a foreign
language, such as English. Remember that “One only has to
become ‘literate’ once” (Shin and Crandall, 2014, p. 160), so
English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers can tap into students’
understanding of print and strategies for making meaning from
text that originate in their L1 as a starting point for building literacy
in English. Even further, research supports that literacy skills can
be transferred bidirectionally—that is, both ways between L1 and
L2—and the language of initial literacy does not necessarily need
to be the L1. Even preschool-age children who are not yet literate
in their L1 can still engage in early literacy activities that build
reading readiness and phonemic awareness. Teachers can read big
books with print aloud and use songs and rhymes to focus on the
sounds of English. They can also engage students in writing
readiness exercises like tracing, connecting the dots, and coloring.
These are fun and effective activities for building early literacy with
young EFL learners.
Although EFL teachers usually have limited time in class,
sometimes only 3–5 hours a week, they should incorporate literacy
instruction and not just oral skills development for young learners,
especially because learning to read is also proven to assist in oral
language development.[…] If students progress faster when
reading is part of language instruction, EFL teachers of young
learners should use a curriculum that integrates all four language
skills and provides a balanced approach to literacy instruction.
