e-Literate

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has published a deep and subtle post on the future of intelligence—both artificial and organic together: “A frontier without an ecosystem is not stable.”

I’m constantly bemused by the human capacity to throw around words confidently when we don’t fully understand what they mean.

I’m of two minds on AI as EdTech.

One reason I haven’t commented on the Canvas hack yet is that I swore off writing about LMS news years ago.

As we approach the 1EdTech Learning Impact conference (on June 1-3 in San Francisco), it occurs to me that I haven’t written about why being Chief Strategy Officer at 1EdTech is the most e-Literate job I’ve ever had.

I’m returning to a style of blogging I tried about a year ago, in which I engaged AIs in dialogue.

The idea of a “skills economy” finally appears to be getting broader interest and increasing action, for many reasons.

I haven’t blogged much in the past couple of years.

This is not an anti-AI post.

I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be running an interactive webinar on the nature of learning context and AI on Thursday, February 26th at 11:30 AM ET.

I’m incredibly excited to invite you to a Blursday-style conversation with Microsoft’s Mike Mast and Google’s Kris Snover about AI, EdTech interoperability standards, and the opportunities the two present together for creating learning impact.

Generated by ChatGPT-5 Now that I’m a year into my job as Chief Strategy Officer at 1EdTech, I’m finally at the point where I can start articulating my sense-making in writing again.

CRITICAL UPDATE The original post said Tuesday, July 29th.

I write this post to e-Literate readers, Empirical Educator Project (EEP) participants, and 1EdTech members.
