How can homeschooling parents harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to make their homeschool journeys more efficient, creative, and manageable? In this episode of Show Me Homeschool, host Erin is joined by longtime homeschooling leader and event planner Nancy Manos, who brings 20+ years of experience encouraging home-educating families. Nancy shares practical insights into how busy homeschool parents—and even their students—can utilize AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to help brainstorm lesson plans, summarize information, automate tasks, and even solve everyday household challenges like meal planning and organization.

Throughout the conversation, Erin and Nancy dive into thoughtful discussion around the ethical use of AI, the importance of a strong foundation in critical thinking and biblical truth, and ways to ensure these technological tools are used wisely in home education. Nancy emphasizes how AI can serve as a productivity booster without diminishing the value of real books, hands-on activities, and authentic learning experiences.
