The AI Education Conversation

Bree Dusseault is back!

Bree, Principal and Managing Director with the Center for Reinventing Public Education at Arizona State University, and I talk AI in education.

What are education and tech leaders saying at this point? What are the top challenges and opportunities? How can we bridge the gap between ed and tech?

In 2024, is AI impacting college admissions and counseling?

Emily Pacheco, Director of admissions at Loyola University Chicago and founder of the AI in College Admissions Special Interest Group, joins the conversation.

If individuals and organizations can leverage AI tools, so can bad actors who intend to use AI for harm.

As many schools, districts, and organizations decide how to kick off processes for exploring and adopting artificial intelligence, what key steps can they take to set the stage?

How will artificial intelligence impact human connection?

What does it actually take to bring AI literacy and frameworks to a school? If you’re an educator, is there anything you can do to accelerate an AI adoption timeline in your school community?

Today’s conversation will feel different from others; I have the privilege of coaching stakeholders on AI exploration and adoption and today I share a window into my coaching call with Emmett. 

Emmett is a high school teacher who aspires to bring AI frameworks and literacy to his school community. 

In our call, we breakdown his vision and goals and walk through strategies and tactics he can leverage as he starts the school year.

Is the role of AI in education taking shape?

I talk with Thomas Thompson, who believes grounding in strong pedagogy and instruction design, enabled by generated AI, provides a powerful tool for educators.

Thomas is a recently transitioning social studies teacher and now full time CEO/Co-founder for Eduaide.AI, an AI instructional design tool for educators. 

Thomas shares his perspectives on the role of AI in schools, AI for students, AI detectors, and developments on AI in education.

I’ve partnered with Fobizz on two AI in education courses!

Major news across the AI in education landscape has developed over the last three weeks, leading to Los Angeles Unified School District disbanding their highly public AI chatbot 'ED' and the tech firm partner Allhere.

Fonz Mendoza, founder of My Edtech Life, and I break down the news and what it means for education.

As we close another school year, let's take a timeout on all the AI developments and think bigger picture about vital questions we need to answer if AI is going to positively impact education.

Is Project Based Learning The Answer for Schools in a World of AI?

I talk with Phil Alcock, who believes project based learning is the answer for schools in a world of artificial intelligence.

Phil holds multiple roles across the AI education space, expert in project based learning, and a lifelong educator. He is the founder of AIxPBL, a curriculum design consultant, an AIxED developer, and STEM teacher.

Phil walks us through the main components of project based learning, why schools struggle to implement it, how a world of AI enhances project based learning, and he shares his take on technological innovations on the horizon.
