AI in schools isnβt about jumping in fast, itβs about building the right roadmap. Research. Governance. Curriculum. Community. Miss one, and it falls apart.
This conversation breaks down how to do it right. Worth a listen.

One idea that stood out: Start with the βunsexyβ side of AI. Payroll. Scheduling. Attendance. The biggest early impact may not be in instruction. Worth hearing this conversation.

The real question isnβt βCan AI teach?β
Itβs βWhat kind of learning are we trying to optimize?β
Skill drills? Exploration? Social growth? That tension drives the episode

Human to human communication is full of implied meaning, tone, and shared context. Thatβs exactly where machines still struggle most. Understanding this matters more than ever.

Just listened to a conversation on AI that had me pausing. Are we offloading data, or offloading the actual thinking? If you're wrestling with that too, this episode might be worth your time.

AI often tells us what we want to hear.
It rarely pushes back.
That feels good, but itβs also a problem.
Take a few minutes to hear why this matters more than we think.

Many of us rely on AI to help us think through problems and tasks. This process, called cognitive offloading, can lead to a confidence trap. This discussion explores what that means and why it matters.

I was fascinated by the concerns and worries that these experts have about the future of critical thinking & AI. They shared scenarios that wouldβve never crossed my mind.
