This is a special edition A.I. episode. Over the next half hour we dive deep into the pitfalls and promises of A.I., especially on its role in the classroom, the impact an A.I. promises-filled future on the thoughts and choices of kids today, and what A.I. can and can’t do. Jon Stapleton of CodeVirginia is my guest and we’ve got a lot to talk about. Keep listening. This is… Classy Coders.

In our next episode we delve into the world of pedagogy, how A.I. can fill gaps in skill sets, but contributes to the loss of skill-building, and how taking the surrounding context out of learning can clip kids at the knees in their education. Stay tuned and thanks for listening to Classy Coders from CodeVA.
