Welcome to Tech-Neill-ogy #126!

Bom Carnaval!

After a couple weeks off, I hope that this week’s newsletter finds you rested and rejuvenated on the heels of several holidays last week. Lots going on in this one, so you may need to open up the newsletter in a browser as email clients are likely to cut it off! Apologies for that!

To kick things off, I wanted to share the exciting news that DreamCollege.ai was recently recognized as College Admissions Counseling Tool of the Year by the 2026 WORLDWiDE EDTECH Awards. We here at Graded have been piloting the software with our grade 9 and grade 11 students and are incredibly excited about the way in which it accentuates the relationship between student a counselor through artificial intelligence. If you have not taken a look, I strongly recommend it!

Enjoy the rest of the newsletter!

I’ve found this one to be helpful with all manner of use cases related to college counseling. From final choices to applications to essays, this one can be valuable. Increasingly, I’m finding that collaborating with AI to provide additional “objective” perspectives to students is a helpful skillset to develop, and this prompt is a great place to begin.

Here’s what I’m planning: [INSERT IDEA]. Act as a critical thinker. Question my assumptions, logic, or blind spots, but don’t rewrite anything. I want to stress-test my own thinking to get new ideas.

Please, if you have any great prompts or ideas, please share! Send me a note at [email protected].

That’s it for this week, but, first, here’s this week’s non-tech article, one that I found to be pretty interesting about brains and concerts:

Happy counseling!
