Kevin forgot the podcast email password years ago. He texts Gerardo stuff to tweet. He has a vague notion that Instagram and Tik Tok might not be the same thing. He doesn't answer 67% of texts. And yet, he is using #ChatGPT for lesson planning. Our good friend Angela Watson of 40 Hour Teacher Work Week fame has developed content around the same topic, although way better and detailed than we did, and our friend Donnie Piercey vanished into a #ChatGPT rabbit hole, periodically surfacing to make fun of Gerardo. But, peoples, this isn't the act of a lazy teacher. Kevin and Gerardo discuss ways in which #ChatGPT may streamline the lesson planning process for teachers who are overwhelmed and stretched too thinly (this of course means ALL teachers). Kevin discusses how his framework for teaching is more personalized having used the AI. He is able to see exactly what it is that he does, reflect, and tweak. Gerardo muses about the way that #ChatGPT may support neurodivergent educators. He recalls being paralyzed by the instructional choices he had to make as a teacher, and how it caused him to spend too much time looking for materials, and wandering off track. What do you think about #ChatGPT for lesson planning? Let us know!

Donnie Piercey is the 2021 Kentucky teacher of the year and he joins us to talk about that experience, plus his fun approach in the classroom. At the centre of his practice is teaching kids to create, rather than to consume. We also practice how to say "fermented shark" with an Icelandic accent. It does not go well.

FlipGrid.com/EduDuctTape Speakpipe.com/EduDuctTape Soapbox Moment: The Zappos EdTech Tool Mindset Barry Schwartz: “All of this choice . . . produces paralysis, rather than liberation. With so many options to choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all.” Barry Schwartz: “Increased choice decreases satisfaction with matters as trivial as ice cream flavors and as significant as jobs. It [increased choice] requires increased time and effort and can lead  to anxiety, regret, excessively high expectations, and self-blame if the choices don't work out.” Jam study by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper Barry Schwartz -  “More Isn't Always Better” - hbr.org/2006/06/more-isnt-always-better Barry Schwartz -  “The Paradox of Choice” - ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choice Today's Guests: Jesse Lubinsky  (@jlubinsky) - Jesse Lubinsky is currently the Chief Learning Officer of Ready Learner One LLC and has nearly 20 years of public school experience as a teacher and administrator.

Jeffery Heil  (@jheil65) - Jeffery has been an educator for 25 years. He has served as a classroom teacher, an instructional technology coach, an adjunct professor of education, and a Google in Education Trainer and Innovator. In this time he has continued to be an advocate for all students, especially those traditionally underserved by the U.S. educational institution.  He sees relationships as the core of education and strives to show all educators meaningful ways to incorporate technology into their curriculum to amplify student learning while not losing sight of the importance of seeing each student as a unique and important member of a classroom or school.

After graduating from Asbury College and earning his master's from Auburn, he has been teaching since 2007.

He is a father, an educator, education consultant and speaker, as well as a hand and foot model. In his spare time, he loves snowboarding, traveling, taking and sharing pictures, and spending time with his daughters. As a former bartender, his claim to fame was serving drinks to Axl Rose and Slash from Guns N Roses and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin. Donnie Piercey works as a full-time daddy, full-time husband, and full-time teacher in Lexington, Kentucky. He likes dinosaurs, anything to do with outer space, and obscure films from the 80s and 90s. He doesn't like NASCAR, but he got to hang out with Jeff Gordon's family once. He also realized his bio wasn't as long as Jeff and Jesse's, so he added this sentence to make himself seem more important. Jesse Lubinsky was born under a bad sign and raised on the mean streets of New York City. He now lives in Westchester County, NY with his wife and three amazing kids and works as a Director of Technology & Innovation and Chief Information Officer. An avid pop-culture geek, passionate sports fan, and voracious foodie, when he's not traveling or searching for a great meal, he's usually planning his next big adventure.
