First connection with our OpenSimulator cybercampus within the Footprints International School firewall. I've now introduced virtual worlds to schools in Korea, Georgia, China, Mexico, Guatemala, Egypt, Ghana, Costa Rica and Cambodia! 

CoSN’s Driving K-12 Innovation initiative proudly convenes an international Advisory Board of approximately 130+ education and technology experts to select the most important Hurdles (challenges), Accelerators (mega-trends), and Tech Enablers (tools) Driving K-12 Innovation for the year ahead. The Advisory Board engages in discussion via CoSN’s online forum, synchronous virtual…

"Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath's new book and article argue that when we gave students laptops, student performance declined, so the tech broke their brains. That story skips the real culprits: high-stakes standardized testing that reshaped public schooling, and inequitable access to effective models of learning, not to devices."

Today’s K-12 innovators are navigating an evolving landscape — full of both opportunity and challenge. CoSN invites EdTech leaders from around the world to come together at the Driving K-12 Innovation virtual Summit on Wednesday, February 4, to explore ideas for leading change and receive early access to the 2026…

The education industry, a key driver of social and economic growth, is evolving through digital learning and lifelong education models.

We asked tech CEOs, journalists, entertainers, students, and more about the promise and peril of artificial intelligence. Here’s what they said.

Which AI models to use for which tasks, how & why

Teachers reveal what drives them from the field and what leaders can do to improve teachers' lives.

Not every teacher is an aspiring administrator. That’s a good thing.

Independent research shows LIVE virtual teaching can deliver outcomes on par with in-person instruction when implemented intentionally.

GenAI is reshaping research, from accelerating discovery to easing administrative burdens. Discover practical guidance on how researchers can use these tech tools effectively and ethically

Computers still don’t do well with vagueness and uncertainty.

OpenSimulator is an open source multi-platform, multi-user 3D application server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on multiple protocols. It also has an optional facility (the Hypergrid) to allow users to visit other OpenSimulator installations across the web from their 'home' OpenSimulator installation. In this way, it is the basis of a nascent distributed Metaverse.

More students are enrolling in majors centered around artificial intelligence as universities create more programs designed around generative AI.

Teacher burnout has reached crisis levels, and proposed solutions often miss the mark. Another professional development session on self-care. Another webinar on stress management. Another reminder to practice gratitude. These well-meaning interventions place the burden on individual teachers to cope with systemic problems: inadequate funding, unrealistic mandates and stretched resources.

The Google for Education Certified Innovator Program recognizes and supports top educators who are excited to grow professionally, advocate for impactful technology, and innovate to improve classrooms, schools and local communities.

Two schools are trying to instill smart tech practices in even the youngest learners.

A recently filed lawsuit claims the ratings assigned by A.I. screening software are similar to those of a credit agency and should be subject to the same laws.

Explore how AI-powered instruction, personalized learning, and emerging education trends are shaping the 2026 classroom—and what educators can do now to prepare students for an AI-driven future.
