Sławomir Sobótka discusses how people develop expertise, why experience requires feedback and what AI may change for those learning to build software.

Ewelina Kurtys deleted the Instagram app. She kept TikTok to publish her own videos, but stopped watching other people's content.

Stephen Hodges, CEO of Efekta Education, on affordable personal tutoring, the work of introducing AI into schools, and the evidence we need before calling it a success.

Every startup begins with a dream. A founder sees a problem, imagines a better way to solve it, and starts building. In EdTech, that dream often sounds especially meaningful: better tools for teachers, more engaging learning for students, smarter use of technology in schools, or wider access to quality education. But as Maciej Mazurkiewicz points out in our EdTech Dots conversation, a dream is not enough. Maciej has almost 20 years of experience working with startups, much of

Artificial intelligence has already entered the classroom. Students use it to write essays, solve problems and prepare presentations. Teachers use it to create lesson plans, generate exercises and reduce administrative work. Parents are trying to understand whether AI is a useful learning tool or simply another shortcut. But the most important question is not whether someone used AI. The real question is: what happened to their thinking in the process? This was the central th

Agentic AI is moving from demos to daily operations, and Google’s Gemini Spark launch at I/O on May 19, 2026 is a clear signal of that shift. Interest spiked because this was not positioned as “another chatbot.” It was positioned as a 24/7 cloud agent that can execute tasks across Gmail, Docs, Slides, and other connected tools while users are offline. For teams, founders, and operations leaders, this changes the conversation from prompting to delegation. The practical questio

For years, the eLearning industry has had an easy excuse. Courses are boring because compliance content is boring.Learning platforms are clunky because enterprise software is clunky.Authoring tools are limited because accessibility matters.LMS systems are hard to use because training is complex. Then AI arrived. And suddenly that old logic started to look weaker than ever. Because once software can generate a course draft in minutes, create visuals, add voiceover, suggest lea

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a futuristic concept. It is actively reshaping how we learn, teach, and interact with educational content. As someone deeply interested in EdTech, I’ve seen firsthand how AI in education is transforming classrooms and learning experiences across Europe and beyond. This transformation is not just about technology; it’s about creating opportunities for everyone to succeed using tools that will stand the test of time. How AI is Chan

AI is transforming education at a time when systems are already stretched thin. We face teacher shortages, student disengagement, rising dropout rates, and an impending wave of job disruption. In his conversation on the EdTech Dots Podcast, Greg Margas articulated a tension that many builders experience. We are overwhelmed by ideas and hype, yet we often lack focus on the few things that will truly matter in the next decade. This article extracts several key themes from Greg’

This week’s pivotal story is Anthropic’s reported plan to raise $10B at a $350B valuation: it confirms that frontier AI remains the gravitational center of tech, setting the pace for platform standards, partner ecosystems and the economics developers and founders will build on in 2026. TL;DR Capital is concentrating in frontier AI (Anthropic, xAI), while tooling (evaluation, control planes) matures the stack. Compute economics bite: RAM price hikes, supply chain/geopolitical

The single most important news this week: the industry coalescing around open standards for AI agents (AAIF with MCP and peers). Why it matters: interoperability makes agents practical in production—cutting integration time, reducing lock-in, and unlocking safer, governed automations that entrepreneurs and developers can ship faster at lower cost. TL;DR Agentic AI is standardizing fast (AAIF + Google’s managed MCP), making cross-service integrations plug-and-play. Model domin
