What this feed is — and isn't

Chalkbox builds free tools for classrooms, so we watch AI in education closely. This feed is where we log the developments worth an educator's attention, in a few plain paragraphs each: what happened, what it is, why it matters for classrooms and students, and what to take away. We summarize and link to the original reporting; we do not endorse products, and early news is not a review. When a story connects to something you can actually use, we point you to the relevant free tool — a lesson planner, a worksheet maker, an assessment tool, a study tool, or a guide.
