      Teaching and explaining critical thinking in kids from elementary students and high school is something that seems to become more explicit in todays schools because children are using or have their own tech devise, making it harder for them to focus in school. To explicitly teach these skills in students early and build upon them through out their education

    2. As soon as students arrive on campuses every fall, he wants school leaders to send clear, consistent messages that the goal of education "is to learn well and think well."

      This sentence "learn well and think well" reflects 2 components of education and personal development. Learning well is more then just memorizing facts but encompassing a variety of strategies and approaches that enhance learning. Thinking well shows the ability to analyze information and evaluate your arguments. Focusing on effective learning strategies and promoting critical thinking skill. It's kind of sad to think how critical thinking, creative thinking, problem-solving skills is something has to be encourage by educators in a way so students don't feel or think they can use technology to help them or be given the answer

    3. "You have to 'not get it' and encounter difficult concepts, things you don't agree with and argument-making. That's not a one-paper exercise... It's those messy, in-between spaces where new information and novel ideas emerge."

      I like how this quote is saying how learning is supposed to messy and chaotic with encountering difficult concepts but engaging in argument-making is crucial aspects of the learning process.

      This quote from Tasha Ausman seems pretty accurate with students using AI to help them do the work or just letting it do the work for them because of how most forms give incorrect answers.

      This sentence by Diana Maliszewski is maybe something that most teachers and educators have thought about and taken into with the increase of AI, especially in classroom learning. To me, it's like teachers are trying to get students to use a critical thinking, use techniques to simulate deep thinking, and to encourage students to ask questions when thinking about the material that's been given to them. Student's should definitely taught how to analyze and critique what they hear but not doubting everything but at least having some focus on the context and the intent behind different types of media. Maliszewski also said, "It's less about the tool, and it's more about the thinking behind using the tool", that seems to emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and mindset in utilizing any technology or resource effectively. Since technology is becoming more efficient in classrooms these days, teaching students techniques for assessing the credibility of online information that includes understanding bias, recognizing misinformation, and verifying facts through reliable sources. I guess a take away from the article could be that if technology and AI going to be contributing more in our lives, especially when it comes to education, to show or teach how to use it responsibly.
