Jake & Nathan crack open a pivotal post-modernist essay from early 20th-century social critic Walter Benjamin, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" (1935), to raise some questions about whether using sufficiently advanced technology destroys the "Aura" or human quality of our work in education.

Parallels are drawn to the usage of artificial intelligence in education and our hosts discuss the importance of maintaining that human touch while incorporating technology in the classroom. Personal experiences using AI in teaching methods are shared, and we explore the possible benefits and drawbacks of AI integration in education. AI can clearly personalize the learning experience for students, but it could potentially dehumanize the learning process and lead to further disconnection in schools.

Join us as we explore the intersection of technology and education to figure out how we can strike a balance between cutting-edge innovation and maintaining the human quality in the age of artificial intelligence. It's a crazy time to be an educator!
