The youngest movie­go­ers today do not, of course, remem­ber a time before visu­al effects could be cre­at­ed dig­i­tal­ly. What may give us more pause is that, at this point in cin­e­ma his­to­ry, most of their par­ents don’t remem­ber it either. Con­sid­er the fact that Steven Spiel­berg’s Juras­sic Park, with its once impos­si­bly real­is­tic (and still whol­ly pass­able) CGI dinosaurs, came out 32 years ago. That may put it, we must acknowl­edge, into the realm of the “clas­sic,” the kind of pic­ture whose enter­tain­ment val­ue holds up despite — or because of — the qual­i­ties that fix it in its time.…

Beaverton School District Superintendent Gustavo Balderas says he’s not a micromanager. Instead, he provides staff with high-level guidance aligned with district goals and expectations. Then he gives them the flexibility to innovate and problem-solve. “The moment we have the right systems in place, I think there always has to be some level of flexibility,” Balderas says. “I think that’s the way education needs to run, where not every school looks the same, and so not every school needs exactly the same thing.” Leaders at the Oregon district credit this approach for systemwide successes in both academics and operations. From expanded…

Key points: A trending AI song went viral, but in my classroom, it did something even more powerful: it unlocked student voice. When teachers discuss AI in education, the conversation often focuses on risk: plagiarism, misinformation, or over-reliance on tools. But in my English Language Learners (ELL) classroom, a simple AI-generated song unexpectedly became the catalyst for one of the most joyful, culturally rich, and academically productive lessons of the year.
