On this day in 1942, Anne Frank received her first diary for her 13th birthday. On the cover page, she wrote: 'I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support." When she went into hiding during the Holocaust, her diary was one of the first items she packed.
Journeys in Film offers free Holocaust Education resources based on award-winning films to support educators who are teaching "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl".

"I see this stratification in the classroom and on the page every week. My students from districts that protected sustained reading through small class sizes, strict phone policies, and faculty who refused to teach to the test all arrive with their attention relatively intact. My students from districts that surrendered to devices and standardized testing arrive cognitively winded. A democracy that requires a literate electorate is now training one fraction of that electorate out of literacy while marketing to the other a “deep work” lifestyle as a luxury good. The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow." #literacy #education #books #democracy

The Guardian | ‘We can stitch together our past’: the AI-generated time-travellers vlogging from history by Priya Bharadia
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
AI‑generated “history vloggers” like Chloe VS History and Nova VS History use advanced video‑generation tools to recreate past eras as immersive vlogs, aiming to make history visual and engaging for younger audiences. Creator Jonathan Laramie of Chloe VS History explains that by blending historical sources with AI (using Seedance 2.0), the channel lets a virtual presenter explore settings such as Tudor London, the Titanic, ancient Rome and the Black Death, turning textbook material into a visceral experience. While the technology can produce occasional anachronistic errors, the format has attracted millions of views, positive academic commentary, and even a Cannes‑based World Influencers and Bloggers award, with historians suggesting it could augment traditional teaching, documentaries and research by offering fresh, immersive visualizations of the past.

A KQED-ProPublica report revealed how a teacher was allowed to keep his credentials despite being fired for sexually harassing students.
His current school district has replaced him as it investigates at least two new student complaints.

The Guardian | I knew my writing students were using AI. Their confessions led to a powerful teaching moment | Micah Nathan by Micah Nathan
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
In his MIT fiction‑writing workshop, Micah Nathan discovered that students were using AI to produce polished yet soulless stories, which sparked a powerful teaching moment about the essential struggle of translating thought into words. He argues that AI‑generated prose, while flawless on the surface, eliminates the friction that cultivates both creative growth and cognitive endurance, weakening writers’ skills and undermining the peer‑review dynamic that relies on authentic authorial voices. Citing historical anxieties about new technologies and recent studies linking AI‑assisted writing to reduced neural connectivity and persistence, Nathan now enforces a clear policy against AI‑written submissions, positioning the workshop as a sanctuary for genuine authorship where the messy process of drafting, revising, and grappling with language is valued over effortless, machine‑produced text.

A teacher in Rockford holds Heather Has Two Mommies against her chest and decides to leave it on the shelf. Third grade. The DOJ has just told 36 Illinois school districts that book might be a civil rights violation. No specific incident cited. The investigation is the punishment. A child reading about a family that looks like hers is not a crime.
