Lisa Dieker and Maggie Mosher dive into the theme of “pivoting” with AI in education. They talk about how educators can go beyond simply asking why we should change and start actively embracing the shift. With relatable classroom examples and moments of humor, Lisa and Maggie unpack how AI can act like a second brain, offering fresh, personalized solutions to everyday teaching challenges.

Key insights include:

Pivoting with AI: Teachers do not have to wait for the perfect plan to start using AI. Sometimes the best way to adapt is to simply start and adjust as needed.

Using AI for Problem Solving: AI can offer quick, fun, and student-centered responses to problems like disengagement or ineffective instruction, turning small frustrations into exciting opportunities.

Supportive Tool: AI can function as a supportive tool that helps educators think through next steps, brainstorm ideas, and build out new approaches without replacing their work.

Letting Go of Perfection: This episode encourages educators to try, tweak, and learn. Embracing AI does not require perfection, just curiosity and the willingness to pivot.
