On Point with Juandolyn Stokes welcomed Elizabeth Laird, Director of Equity in Civic Technology, CDT who shared how a survey found that some students are contacted by law enforcement due to online monitoring and half of teachers report that technology stifles their growth.
The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) also found that students are experiencing a disproportionate number of negative impacts from old and new ed tech.
According to Laird, Half of teachers say they know of students who have gotten in trouble for using generative AI, and even fewer teachers have gotten training on how those students who cheated.
However, it is students with disabilities who are more inclined to use AI and LGBTQ+ students who are being punished at disproportionate rates.
Apparently, the latest technology is a bit of a double-edge sword in that the newer technology is great, but "nearly three-quarter of students report that that technology makes it more difficult to complete school assignments.
Laird said "58% of students report that they have used AI."
