Recently there has been much said about the value of learning and understanding history. David McCullough on 60 Minutes and Oliver Stone on Piers Morgan in just the past few days have publicly lamented that we are raising children who have no understanding of history and the perilous consequences that will follow. I would add, we have already raised at least one generation under those circumstances and therefore have parents and teachers who have been raised and educated without a healthy understanding of history. I agree with Doris Kearns Goodwin and suggest we kick it up a notch and start focusing on history at least as much as we have been on science and technology for these past decades.

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.
