Send us a textPlay isn't just fun—it's a blueprint for learning. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Hassler and Matt Dalio (Endless Studios/Foundation) explore how student game-making builds creativity, collaboration, and resilience while scaffolding real tools—from no-code building to Unity and Blender.We unpack the research on learning by making, connect Jane McGonigal's mechanics of motivation to classroom practice, and trace a big-picture story from the printing press to software literacy. Matt lays out why the next divide is not just devices and bandwidth, but the ability to create with digital tools and command AI workflows. You'll hear how  teachers can launch projects in minutes, not months. Along the way, we challenge the input-obsessed mindset of school and advocate for outcome-focused learning: build something that works, share it, improve it.Highlights:Research showing gains from student-created gamesEndstar's classroom-friendly on-ramp to pro tools: from no-code to UnityMultidisciplinary learning: CS, art, writing, math, project mgmtEquity: offline-first kits + affordable devicesAI, software literacy, and outcome-based learningPlay as a driver of learning, resilience, and creativityClassroom rollout, peer learning, and ready-to-use curriculaClosing the digital divide with devices and offline contentBecoming power users of AI and building real-world outputsMatt Dalio- m@endlessstudios.com

Send us a textThe digital revolution in education is happening right now, and AI literacy has surged to become the #1 skill employers demand. With 70% of job skills projected to change by 2030, our conversation with Mike Todasco couldn't be more timely or crucial for parents and educators navigating this shifting landscape.Mike brings a rare dual perspective as both a visiting fellow at San Diego State University's AI Center and father of two school-aged children. His insights bridge the technical sophistication of artificial intelligence with the practical realities of raising children in a world where over 22% of kids aged 8-12 already use generative AI tools—many unable to distinguish between AI and human content.Throughout our discussion, Mike unpacks the delicate balance between embracing AI's educational potential and protecting children's cognitive development. We share compelling research about reduced prefrontal cortex activity when students rely on AI for writing tasks, alongside stories of remarkable progress when AI tutors are thoughtfully implemented. The contrast is stark and highlights the importance of intentional implementation.What makes this conversation particularly valuable are the practical applications. From using voice mode in ChatGPT during car rides to create personalized learning experiences, to implementing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems that minimize AI "hallucinations," Mike offers tangible strategies that work both in classrooms and at home. His suggestion to dedicate specific portions of curricula to AI literacy while preserving traditional instruction for foundational skills provides a balanced framework any educator can adapt.Perhaps most thought-provoking is his examination of children forming emotional attachments to AI companions programmed to be unfailingly supportive—raising profound questions about healthy relationship development in an increasingly AI-integrated world. As Mike puts it, "This is what scares me the most."Whether you're a teacher redesigning curriculum, a parent guiding digital natives, or simply curious about education's AI-powered future, this conversation provides the clarity and practical wisdom needed to ensure technology serves learning rather than diminishes it. The question isn't whether AI will transform education—it's whether we'll shape that transformation to truly benefit our children.Great News! The Brighter Side of Education is now CPD Accredited!

Send us a textThe transition from college to adulthood has dramatically transformed over recent decades, with financial independence, full-time employment, and independent living occurring much later for today's graduates than their 1980s counterparts. Yet despite these shifting timelines, Sallie Mae's latest research reveals that higher education continues to deliver tremendous value for Gen Z.According to Annat Shrabstein, Senior Director of Consumer Insights & Brand Strategy at Sallie Mae, their "How America Succeeds After College 2025" report uncovers interesting insights about what success truly means for recent graduates. Research reveals a significant shift in how Gen Z defines post-college success, balancing financial health, mental wellbeing, and career satisfaction in a world where traditional adulthood milestones are happening later than ever. The data challenges common assumptions about higher education's value while highlighting critical opportunities to better prepare students for life after graduation.• Only 25% of 21-year-olds in 2021 were financially independent, compared to 42% in 1980• 90% of recent graduates report positive college experiences, with 70% believing education was worth the cost• 74% of grads who used student loans say they would have rather borrowed than not gone to college • Students who use career services are significantly more likely to find jobs in their field• 64% of graduates wish they had fully engaged in all their college had to offer• Having a mentor is the attribute most strongly associated with post-college success• Almost two-thirds of recent graduates are living with parents two years after collegeVisit salliemae.com to access college planning tools including Scholly Scholarship Search, Scout College Search, step-by-step FAFSA guides, and research reports.

Send us a textCurriculum doesn't start in the classroom—it starts in the knowledge system: the people, institutions, and practices that produce and disseminate research. Dr. Cassidy Sugimoto, a Tom and Marie Patton Professor and School Chair from the School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech, explains how publishing and citation practices flow into standards and textbooks.Dr. Sugimoto highlights the systemic barriers faced by women and underrepresented minorities in academia and how these barriers affect what is taught in classrooms. The discussion also covers the need to redefine success in academia and the importance of inclusive curricula that reflect diverse perspectives. Finally, Dr. Sugimoto encourages educators to foster inquiry-based learning by shifting the focus from what students learn to the questions they ask.TakeawaysA knowledge system is the ecosystem in which knowledge is made.The lack of women and minorities in academia affects knowledge production.Representation in science influences girls' interest in STEM fields.Words used by educators can significantly impact students' self-perception.Success metrics in academia often exclude diverse perspectives.Diversity in research leads to more comprehensive knowledge.AI-generated materials can perpetuate stereotypes.Educators should recognize biases in the materials they use.Encouraging questions fosters a sense of inquiry in students.Education is influenced by broader societal knowledge systems.
