There is another way to look at the situation. Typically, there is a "cultural lag" after breakthrough tecnological innovation. This is surely the case with regard to continuing technological innovations in information techbnology (data capture, storage, manipulation, and access). Generally, the problem in the field of Education is that cultural lag-time is stratified mostly by age and wealth factors. With regard to age, generally, we have students more IT-competent than teachers, administrators, and policy-makers. With IT-integrated so deeply into our lives that makes school systems look arcaic if not ridiculous. The greater disconnect (Drucker predicted the Age of Discontinuity) is that school systems have not been reengineered aroundf IT to be faster, better, cheaper. This could lead to extinction (ala the dinosaurs) by replacement - just look at the rate of death of colleges.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
