A Principal's Reflections

DECEMBER 8, 2024

A few weeks back, my friend Monica Burns reached out and asked to share some insight on my favorite artificial intelligence (AI) tool for a blog post she was writing. Since she was gathering perspectives from numerous educators, I wanted to avoid the well-known tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini. Thus, my decision was easy as I was able to zero in on one that I use routinely, which not only helps me when coaching, but also can be invaluable to practicing school leaders.

Isela Guadalupe Bonilla pored over cryptic instructions and what felt like an endless series of questions about her familys income as she struggled to fill out the notorious federal form that students are required to complete to unlock college financial aid. Several of her classmates just gave up. It was always because of money, said Bonilla, now a 20-year-old junior at Washington State Universitys Vancouver campus.

Thanks to Brendan Conway for sending me a link to a BBC Future page. Some years ago, I wrote a book about tzi the Ice Man. I've since posted regular blogs when a story appears which updates the knowledge that we have about him. The BBC Future article looks at the archaeology being revealed by melting glaciers. There is even an Alpine German word for the process of things emerging from glaciers: "ausgeapert", meaning something is exposed by melting snow or ice.
