鈥淕enerative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is the latest consumer technology touted as a 鈥榞ame-changer鈥� for education. Educators, administrators, and policymakers are bombarded with endless advice on how to make our classrooms and institutions GenAI ready. Advice ranges from the pollyannaish rapid adoption of the latest GenAI tools to scaremongering ineffective bans of all things algorithmic. The future of GenAI in education is neither so promising nor bleak. This middle path must be forged by combining the latest research with wisdom from successes and failures adopting yesteryears鈥� 鈥榞ame-changing鈥� technologies into classrooms.鈥澛�
