It is hard not to view this as a blatant exercise of market power by Google to force adoption of tools on schools that do not want them. nytimes.com/2026/11/03/us/…

At this point I have basically no trust in Google as a positive force in education. (see usnews.com/opinion/articl…)

An entreaty to Apple to fix for this for anyone who teaches or presents with an iPad! Thanks @johnternus teddysvoronos.com/2026-10-19-app…

teddysvoronos.com Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads | Teddy Svoronos If you teach or present with an iPad, avoid iPadOS 27.

I have a piece in the Globe today about AI and higher ed.

TL;DR we spend a lot of time thinking about *how* to teach differently (assessments, cheating) and not enough about *what* to teach differently (reevaluating our learning objectives).

www.bostonglobe.com The real questions professors need to be asking themselves about AI - The Boston Globe Students may be cheating on their homework with AI. But is the homework teaching what matters?

PSA for teachers: If you use an iPad to present (eg PowerPoint or GoodNotes) while multitasking with other apps, don’t update to iPadOS 27! Tapping on a different window during a presentation will switch the projection to your iPad screen instead of the presentation.

The problem with AI detectors in my view is not false positives/negatives. It’s that they measure something that we think we care about but actually don’t. Textbook streetlight effect.
