What does positive parental education in the age of AI looks like?

With the rapid advancement of AI and its application in all areas of life, parents benefit from the power of integrating technology and learning.  

Consider these two pieces of research outlining the role of parents in this development;

The first one is from the US Department of Education on the future of teaching and learning in the age of AI. 

1. The importance of "Centering People": We are parents, educators, and students are the key to successful learning. Parents especially have a role in encouraging, monitoring, and guiding the use of digital resources. 

2. Advancing Equity: We are not just the advocates of our own children but also their peers in obtaining the resources and access to digital resources. Equity enhances the learning environment and promotes teamwork among the students. It further fosters values of collaboration, communication, and relational skills.

3. Ensuring safety: Internet safety is the foundation of online learning. Good practices will prevent future problems and enhance learning efficacies.

The second research is from the American Academy of Pediatrics on "Parental Mediation in the Digital Age." 

1. The negative impact of excessive online behaviors on personal development and academic performance.

2. How parents may use media with and around children. Encourage discussion on resources and the themselves regarding time, place, and usage of devices.
