Each summer, Deb Perelman, a best-selling food writer, welcomes teachers to share their school supply lists in a Google form. Then Perelman puts their responses in a spreadsheet, which as of mid-August has over 730 entries for the 2024-25 school year, and invites her audience to help purchase what they can so that these educators don’t have to pay out of their pockets.

About us
Education is changing, now more than ever. It is shaped by technological advancements, scientific research, demographic shifts, business interests and other socioeconomic forces that impact not just teaching and learning, but also the world in which students will enter. And education will increasingly take place not just in schools, but in homes, at work and throughout life. EdSurge is at the forefront of covering these changes and their impact and consequences. We do this through journalism, research and analysis. We also share stories that elevate the voices and experiences of educators, entrepreneurs, researchers and other stakeholders working to support equitable opportunities for all learners. Through our work, EdSurge aims to bridge the information gaps and disconnect that often exist between those who drive change, and those they impact.

Experts in artificial intelligence have for years experimented with the idea of creating chatbots that can fill this support role in classrooms.
