Recognizing the unprecedented opportunities and complex ethical challenges of the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies in K–12 education, Ethical Ed Tech provides a practical, actionable guide for K–12 educators seeking to integrate technology responsibly, equitably, and effectively. This book addresses the urgent need for ethical considerations in edtech, offering concrete strategies, case studies, and practical tools to empower teachers and school-based teams to make informed decisions that prioritize student wellbeing, privacy, and equitable access.

With real-world case studies and decision-making frameworks, it supports classroom-level choices and school-wide conversations alike. The book is also valuable for school leaders and other stakeholders who want to understand how AI is changing the educational landscape and impacting their policies.
