Hot take: not everything in education needs to be automated. 🤖

We don’t want AI making every grading decision.

We don’t want it replacing instructor judgment.

We don’t want student work being sent to unknown models.

Technology should give educators better information, not take decisions out of their hands.

That’s a big part of how we think about what we’re building at Octopodi. Use technology to surface what matters. Let educators decide what to do with it. 🐙

The last video of our AI in education series. This should come as no surprise, but AI is not and should not replace instructor judgement and expertise.

Most students see feedback as the end of an assignment, but what if we told you it was the beginning of your career instead?

The strongest job candidates collect evidence of how they solve problems, communicate, collaborate, and improve over time.

That's exactly what we'll be exploring at Waterloo Tech Week.

Join us as we discuss how to turn assignment feedback into something you can actually use—for resumes, interviews, internships, and your first job.

📅 September 15
📍 Conrad Hub, University of Waterloo E7
🎟️ $5 (includes snacks!)

We'd love to see you there!

📝 Grading Confession # 1

At ISTE, we asked educators one simple question: "What's the most frustrating part of grading?"

The responses were honest... and this one came up more than once.

Every assignment represents hours of reading, evaluating, and trying to provide meaningful feedback. Most educators don't mind the feedback part, they mind that there simply isn't enough time to do it well. That's the challenge worth solving.

Have you ever felt the same way?
