AI is here. And while many schools are still wrapping their heads around how to best use it, some classrooms are already using it to enhance learning experiences.

Whether that's in animating student written memoirs; or acting as a co-pilot in student research and investigation.

AI can improve learning outcomes and make our lives easier when we have the courage to embrace it.

In this episode I sit down with technology/instructional coaches Cora Yang and Dalton Flanagan to learn more about how they are embracing AI and helping teachers across all subjects embrace and integrate it mindfully within their classroom and learning experiences. We learn:

How to get comfortable and have fun with AI
Simple ways AI can enhance our learning experiences and engage hard to reach learners
How AI can help offload some of the things we hate doing as educators, while freeing up time for us to do more of the things we love
