What they are known for

Jane Kim writes about responsible technology in education, especially how schools can protect children and preserve the human side of learning.

  • Their posts connect product safeguards to wider questions of evidence and accountability: they argue that child-facing AI should be reviewed before release, and that technology in schools should support hands-on learning rather than turn children into passive consumers.
  • They also write about representation and the value of seeing leaders who look like you.
  • Follow them for a perspective that pairs caution about children’s technology use with practical questions about what learning should make possible.

Jane Kim’s distinctive strength is linking education technology debates to the people and incentives behind them.

  • In one post, they connect a New York City K–8 AI pause to earlier cases of industries funding research that downplayed harms, making their case for safeguards more concrete than a general call for “responsible tech.”
  • In another, they balance support for limits on school edtech with a constructive alternative: teach children to make with technology, while recognizing that most screen use happens outside school.
  • Their event posts add a personal dimension—especially their reflection that children want to see leaders who look like them—and show that their work also concerns belonging and the human relationships around learning.

Ideas and priorities

Kim makes a case for child-centered technology: review AI tools before releasing them, keep learning hands-on and social, and design school technology to protect the human parts of learning.

Read more

They also highlight children seeing diverse leaders. These ideas appear in arguments about safeguards and screens, a proposed SXSW EDU panel, and a summit reflection.

Review and safeguard AI tools before using them with children

Kim argues that careful review and appropriate guardrails should be the minimum for AI tools used with children.

Read more

They connect that caution to a broader concern: companies can fund research that shifts attention away from harms linked to their products.

Kim welcomes New York City Public Schools’ K–8 AI pause and compares industry-funded research about sugar and sugary drinks with efforts to address harms from phones and social media. The comparison is Kim’s argument.

Technology should support hands-on, social learning—not displace it

Kim argues that children need in-person, multisensory experiences and opportunities to build and bond.

Read more

They support teaching children to create with technology, while noting that school policies alone cannot address screen use outside school.

Kim describes bills in 16 states to limit school edtech as a healthy shift, then shares a school leader’s suggestion to teach children to be technology producers alongside digital literacy and safe, ethical use. The producer framing comes from the school leader.

The post distinguishes limits on school technology from the wider problem of children’s screen use outside school.

Keep the human part of learning central to technology design

Kim’s proposed SXSW EDU session would discuss how schools design and use technology while protecting the human component of learning.

Children benefit from seeing leaders who look like them

A summit reflection links representation in education leadership to what children can imagine for themselves.

Read more

It is a clear personal priority in this post, but the posts here do not show it as a recurring theme across multiple posts.

After meeting Michelle Rhee and Michelle Kang at the ASU+GSV Summit, Kim writes that they grew up without seeing leaders who looked like them. They connect that experience to the saying that children want to be what they can see.

Start with their work

Why children's technology guardrails take time — and who paid for the delay

This post is the clearest statement of why Jane Kim treats child-facing technology safeguards as a slow, contested public issue rather than an ordinary product feature.

Read more

Start here to understand the caution running through their other posts.

Jane Kim links the Meta settlement over phones and social media to New York City Public Schools' K-8 AI pause, arguing that the delay follows a pattern: industries funding research that softens the case against their own products.

  • Two examples carry the point — 1960s sugar industry funding at Harvard that shifted blame toward fat and cholesterol, and Coca-Cola paying scientists between 2013 and 2015 to emphasise lack of exercise over sugary drinks.
  • They conclude that releasing AI-enabled tools only after review, with guardrails appropriate for children, "should be the bare minimum," because "kids only get to grow up once."

For brands planning a campaign

For a brief on responsible technology design for children, this piece sets the bar.

  • A collaboration would need to show the review and guardrail process itself, not just a safe-sounding feature.
  • A generic launch message would echo the pattern the post criticises.

Sixteen states, one brain: where screens stop helping children learn

This sets out the policy backdrop and learning argument behind Kim's position — why some limits on edtech in schools are, in their view, a correction rather than a retreat.

Read more

Read it to see what they think technology in schools should actually be for.

Jane Kim notes that sixteen states have introduced bills to limit edtech in public schools and calls it "a healthy and necessary shift," pointing to how younger children learn through hands-on, in-person, multi-sensory experience.

  • They argue the same need persists into adulthood, which is why disengagement continues through middle and high school and into the workplace: fidget spinners and sensory toys do not meet the human need to build and bond with others.
  • Kim repeats a school leader's framing about teaching children to be technology producers rather than consumers, alongside digital literacy, digital citizenship, critical thinking, safety and ethics.
  • They close by noting that most children's screen use happens outside school, and "we've only got one brain."

For brands planning a campaign

This is a natural opening for a maker, curriculum or hands-on learning partner: the producer-not-consumer framing is concrete enough to build a collaboration around. It also warns against positioning a school-only intervention as a solution to children's screen time, since Kim explicitly says most of it happens elsewhere.

An SXSW EDU panel on protecting the human part of learning

This shows the format Kim works in and the collaborators they build with, not just their opinions.

Read more

Read it to see how they turn the topic into a public session and who they bring in.

Jane Kim asks readers to vote for an SXSW EDU proposal, warning up front that it requires creating a login.

  • The panel came together with Erica Crane and Lucila Coll, whom Kim met at the USC Rossier School of Education edtech accelerator earlier that year, with Colleen Broderick as moderator.
  • They credit Erica Crane with bringing the group together and describe the session's aim as sharing how the group thinks about technology design and use in schools and "how to protect the deeply human component of learning."

For brands planning a campaign

A panel on design and use is an established, repeatable format a brand could support or supply a case study for — but the stated subject is how schools should design and use technology, not product promotion. Sponsorship framed as a sales slot would clash with the session's own description.

"Children want to be what they can see": notes from ASU+GSV day two

This is the most personal post of the five and shows a priority not primarily about products: who children see in leadership.

Read more

Read it to understand the representation thread in Kim's work.

Recounting day two of the ASU+GSV Summit, Jane Kim describes meeting Michelle Rhee, former Chancellor of DC Public Schools and founder of TNTP, in person, and chatting with Michelle Kang, CEO of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, on the way to the venue.

  • They write, "Growing up, I never saw leaders who looked like me," and connect that to the saying "children want to be what they can see."
  • The post also covers a panel with school leaders Sarah Robinson Chin, Heather Tow-Yick, Chelsea A.
  • Montgomery, Maurice Draggon and Eve Colavito, moderated by James Kim and Michelle Rhee, and thanks the USC Rossier School of Education EdTech Accelerator cohort led by Mark DeGennaro and Doug Lynch.

For brands planning a campaign

Representation and mentorship are personal priorities here, expressed through the people Kim chooses to name. A collaboration built around visible role models or student-facing mentorship has a genuine hook; a feature-led pitch would miss the post's focus.

Day one at ASU+GSV and the end of the accelerator

This is the shortest route into Kim's network and the programme they came through.

Read it to see who they are connected to before exploring their topic arguments.

On day one of the ASU+GSV Summit, Jane Kim describes running into Phyllis Lockett, an education innovation leader from Chicago, and meeting Christina Grant of the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University.

  • They call the summit the culminating event for the USC Rossier School of Education EdTech Accelerator, credit Mark DeGennaro and Doug Lynch, and thank the people who have been "a source of ongoing mentorship, support, and encouragement with KindEd."
  • The post also notes that cohort member Muazzam Arslan Bhatti was missing.

For brands planning a campaign

This identifies KindEd as the venture behind Kim's work and the accelerator network as a place where introductions and partnerships happen. For a brand, it maps the rooms Kim is already in — useful for planning an approach, though the post offers a thin content hook on its own.

Topics and approach

Child safety and guardrails for AI in schools

Posts argue that phones and social media have harmed children, point to the recent Meta settlement, and welcome New York City Public Schools' K-8 AI pause as a step that puts learning first.

Read more

The core claim: releasing AI-enabled tools only after review and with appropriate guardrails for children should be the bare minimum. The argument compares the sugar industry funding Harvard research and Coca-Cola paying scientists to downplay sugary drinks, both examples of companies funding research that shifts blame away from their products.

Builds the case through analogy to historical, industry-funded research rather than citing a single study, then closes with a direct challenge to edtech companies that "designed harmful products."

For brands planning a campaign

Fits campaigns about pre-deployment review, safety testing, or age-appropriate design.

  • Expect scrutiny of claims and messaging that favors evidence and slower release over speed.
  • A collaboration that addresses that critique is stronger than one that ignores it.

Examples: Source 1

Screen limits and the case for hands-on learning

Notes that sixteen states have introduced bills to limit edtech in public schools and calls the shift healthy and necessary.

Read more

The post argues that younger children learn through hands-on, in-person, multi-sensory experiences, and that disengagement continues into middle school, high school, and the workplace because screens never meet the need to build and bond with others.

  • It also credits a school leader's framing of teaching children to be producers rather than consumers of technology, alongside digital literacy, digital citizenship, critical thinking, and safe and ethical use.
  • Most screen use among children happens outside school, the post adds, and there is only one brain.

Pairs a legislative trend with a first-person observation from a school leader, then distinguishes in-school tool use from the larger out-of-school screen exposure.

For brands planning a campaign

Fits blended or hands-on products, or devices positioned with explicit boundaries and a stated role for adults and teachers.

  • A product framed as replacing in-person learning would invite a critical response.
  • The producer-versus-consumer framing could work for a curriculum, creation tool, or media-literacy program.

Examples: Source 1

Keeping the human component in technology design

Describes a SXSW EDU panel proposal developed with Erica Crane and Lucila Coll, who met through the USC Rossier EdTech Accelerator, with Colleen Broderick as moderator.

Read more

The aim is to share how technology design and use in schools can protect the deeply human component of learning. The post also asks readers to vote and acknowledges the friction of requiring people to create a log-in.

Co-authored conference proposal, framed around a design question rather than a product, with an explicit call to action for reader support.

For brands planning a campaign

Suited to a co-hosted webinar, panel, or thought-leadership piece on human-centered design in edtech. The proposal shows willingness to convene other practitioners and ask an audience for a concrete action—useful for a campaign that needs an activation step.

Ecosystem convening at ASU+GSV and the USC Rossier EdTech Accelerator

Two posts cover the ASU+GSV Summit as the culminating event for the USC Rossier School of Education EdTech Accelerator, run by Mark DeGennaro and Doug Lynch.

They name Phyllis Lockett, Christina Grant of the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard, Emily R.

  • Owen of Halcyon, Michelle Rhee, and Michelle Kang, chief executive of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
  • They also describe a school-leader panel moderated by James Kim and Michelle Rhee.
  • The through-line is a dense professional network, ongoing mentorship, and work around KindEd.

Conference recap format: day-by-day posts naming people and sessions, and crediting the accelerator cohort and its organizers.

For brands planning a campaign

Event-based activations, summit coverage, or cohort sponsorship are natural fits. Their summit posts focus on the professional network and name organizations rather than products, so an event or community partnership likely lands better than a straight product promotion.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Representation and mentorship in education leadership

One post reflects on growing up without seeing leaders who looked like them and connects that experience to children today seeing leaders at an event, invoking the saying that children want to be what they can see.

Read more

The post also credits a cohort "family" and support system for making a crowded, overwhelming conference day manageable.

Representation appears in one conference recap, not as a recurring theme. Ask whether it is a priority for the campaign.

For brands planning a campaign

Relevant to campaigns about representation, mentorship, or leadership pipelines, such as a scholarship or cohort program. Because the theme appears once, treat it as one observation among several rather than the creator's central platform.

Campaign fit

A campaign to shortlist

Good fit, with a narrow scope.

Read more

Brief

An edtech company developing a child-facing AI tutoring or classroom tool wants Jane Kim to co-create content on responsible technology design for children. The campaign would explain how the product was reviewed for child safety and age-appropriate use, including its guardrails, the roles of teachers and parents, and limits on where the tool should be used.

Reasons

  • Jane Kim's post on the Meta settlement and New York City's K-8 AI pause argues that releasing AI-enabled tools only after careful review, with guardrails appropriate for children, should be the bare minimum. That is the subject of the brief.
  • The post also sets the standard for a collaboration: evidence and review ahead of speed, and skepticism toward companies that fund research to downplay harm. A campaign showing the review process, including what was delayed or changed, matches Jane Kim's stated position.
  • Jane Kim's post on sixteen states and hands-on learning sets a boundary the campaign must respect: younger children learn through in-person, multi-sensory experiences, and most screen use happens outside school. A tool positioned as replacing in-person learning or maximizing engagement would not fit.
  • Jane Kim's SXSW EDU proposal points to a workable format: a co-created educational session or piece on technology design and use in schools, built with collaborators from the USC Rossier EdTech Accelerator network rather than framed as a product announcement.
  • Event recaps show Jane Kim is connected to edtech leaders, school leaders, and the USC Rossier EdTech Accelerator community, which could provide credible co-presenters or reviewers for a responsible-design collaboration.

Conditions

  • Make the review and guardrails the content, not a feature claim.
  • Name the limits: what the tool should not be used for, what roles teachers and parents retain, and why in-person learning remains primary.
  • Disclose any commercial relationship. Do not present unreleased features as functioning safety controls.
  • Approach through LinkedIn, the only contact channel mentioned in Jane Kim's posts. No media kit, rate card, or sponsor policy appears; ask about paid-collaboration terms.

When to choose a specialist

Poor fit as written.

Brief

A consumer edtech company wants Jane Kim for a paid product-promotion campaign for an app aimed at young children. The campaign calls for high-frequency posts and videos emphasizing time-on-device, engagement, and replacing some classroom instruction, with the creator reading a script and presenting the app as a solution to learning loss.

Reasons

  • Jane Kim's post on sixteen states and screen limits calls sixteen state bills to limit edtech in public schools a healthy and necessary shift. It says younger children learn through hands-on, in-person, multi-sensory experiences and that disengagement persists because screens do not meet the human need to build and bond with others.
  • The post also says most children's screen use happens outside school and that "we've only got one brain." A campaign promoting more device time for young children would contradict Jane Kim's public position.
  • Jane Kim's post on the Meta settlement criticizes companies that funded research to downplay harm and says AI tools should be released only after review with guardrails for children. A scripted product push that avoids the review process would resemble the pattern they criticize.
  • Jane Kim's posts do not mention a sponsorship program, rate card, media kit, or paid placements. Ask whether they accept paid collaborations and what terms apply.
  • The documented collaboration format is an educational panel proposal co-created with named practitioners, not a scripted product endorsement.

Repair options

Reframe the campaign as a co-created educational session on child-facing AI review and guardrails, with the company providing a real case study of what was reviewed and changed.

Drop claims that the app replaces in-person instruction or solves children's screen time; Jane Kim's material points the other way.

If paid promotion remains the goal, treat it as a separate negotiation rather than presenting it as aligned with Jane Kim's responsible-technology work.

A worked campaign example
Angle

Publish a co-created design-review walkthrough: a 45-minute recorded or live session and a short companion checklist showing how the tool was reviewed for child safety and age-appropriate use. Frame the session as a practitioner conversation, not a launch. Jane Kim moderates or co-authors with one school leader and one child-development or literacy specialist, drawing on the USC Rossier EdTech Accelerator network visible in the posts.

Brief

An edtech company with a child-facing AI reading or tutoring tool wants a content collaboration on responsible technology design for children.

Content plan

Opening: what changed in the product because of the review, including one feature that was delayed, narrowed, or cut. This meets Jane Kim's stated bar that review before release is the minimum.

Middle: the guardrails tested, the failure modes found, the roles teachers and parents retain, and where the tool should not be used. This connects to the producer-not-consumer framing and the caution against replacing in-person learning.

Close: a portable checklist for schools and families, plus a plain statement of the tool's limits and what the company is still monitoring.

Distribution

LinkedIn post from Jane Kim and collaborators announcing the session and linking to the checklist.

A session at an edtech or education event, following the SXSW EDU panel format they have already proposed.

One follow-up post featuring the session’s strongest question and the company’s answer, not a product advertisement.

Risks and gaps

Jane Kim has publicly criticized companies that fund research to soften evidence of harm. Back any session claims with the company’s actual review record, not a marketing summary.

Do not present unreleased or untested features as functioning safety controls.

Their posts show no media kit, rate card, or sponsor policy, so commercial terms are unknown. Confirm those before treating the collaboration as a paid engagement.

Before making the offer, confirm a current KindEd site or media page, any published speaking or collaboration terms, and any disclosed commercial partnership examples outside the five posts.

Why it works

It makes the review process the content, matching their post that guardrails and careful review should be the bare minimum.

It respects their stated boundary: young children learn best through hands-on, in-person experience, and most screen use happens outside school.

It uses a format they already work in: a co-created educational panel with named practitioners.

It gives the company a credible association with responsible design without asking them to endorse an unreviewed product claim.

Jorge Valenzuela when the collaboration needs a classroom and instructional-design frame for AI use: making student thinking visible, building strong assessment structures, and giving school and district leaders a practical way to judge whether AI is improving learning rather than simply being present.

  • The posts show work on project-based learning, visible thinking, feedback, a single-point rubric, an upcoming Lifelong Learning Defined podcast episode on trust and psychological safety in innovation culture, and the Instructional Innovation+ program.
  • This is a better choice if the campaign’s main deliverable is a professional-learning session, rubric, or assessment guide for teachers and leaders on AI literacy and instructional integrity.

The tradeoff is focus.

  • Valenzuela’s posts center on instructional quality, assessment, and school-leader practice.
  • They do not say how a child-facing AI product was reviewed for safety, what age-appropriate design criteria it meets, or what limits parents and teachers should set.
  • If the campaign must explain a tool’s safety review and limits, ask for those details directly; Jane Kim’s stated bar is closer to that brief.

The posts discuss Design Principles for Teacher Preparation from the Learning Policy Institute, grounded in the science of learning and development, and argue that preparation should be coherent, clinically grounded, developmentally informed, equity-centered, and modeled by faculty and mentor educators.

  • They also cover a Texas Workforce Commission grant to the Children’s Learning Institute for CDA credentials, registered apprenticeships, associate degrees, and bachelor’s degrees, with TXAEYC framing it as an investment in early childhood educators and career pathways.
  • This is a better choice if the campaign needs to reach educator-preparation leaders, accreditation teams, higher-education faculty, or state workforce programs.

The tradeoff is the level of the problem.

  • Mary Harper’s posts focus on preparing and sustaining the adult workforce and on system design.
  • They say less directly about reviewing a child-facing AI product’s guardrails, parent and teacher roles in use, or limits on screen time for young children.
  • If the collaboration must center on a product-review walkthrough and classroom-use limits, ask for details on those areas; Jane Kim’s posts speak more directly to that decision.

The posts describe SXSW EDU work with GESAwards, shared insights from nearly 1,200 startups in the 2025 cycle, a panel of seven GESA startups scaling across countries, and the difficulty of building for-profit education ventures inside systems with slow adoption, tight budgets, multiple stakeholders, and high trust barriers.

  • They also describe a broader SXSW/SXSW EDU convening role across educators, founders, creatives, and investors.
  • This is a better choice if the campaign’s goal is founder-facing thought leadership, international expansion, or a convening that connects the product to a global edtech network.

The tradeoff is proximity to the child-facing review.

  • Dan Greenwald’s posts focus on founders, ecosystems, conferences, and market conditions.
  • They do not say how child safety guardrails or age-appropriate design were reviewed, or where a child-facing tool should be used.
  • If the campaign requires a concrete review narrative for a tool used by children, ask for those details; Jane Kim remains the closer match.
