Recently, First Lady Melania Trump convened the second White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence in Education. There is simultaneously an incredible amount of excitement around AI in schools and just beneath it, a sort of terror about its potential impacts and all we do not know. We wanted to take a macro approach and examine the current state of AI in education, its promise, the fears, and what the near future may look like.The Questions:Is AI in the classroom a force for good?Can we still produce critical thinkers in an AI-driven classroom?Will AI just be another ed tech flash in the pan?To have this conversation, we brought together two leading eduction experts with nuanced, divergent views on the roles technology, and AI specifically, should play for teachers and students.Eric Westendorf is a former principal who founded the ed tech company LearnZillion, and now is the co-CEO of Coursemojo, which is using AI to enhance in-class learning by supporting teachers in providing the right support for every student.Justin Reich is an Associate Professor in Comparative Media Studies and Director at MIT Teaching Systems Lab, and is the author of a new book, Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education.Two notes on terms. Our guests mention NAEP: the National Assessment of Education Progress. There's also discussion of the Alpha School: a network of US private schools that combines AI-driven adaptive software for core academics with in-person adult “Guides” who act as mentors. It operates in Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. According to Alpha School, their combination of technology and mastery based learning allows children learn core subjects in just two hours daily. Questions or comments about this episode?

I would say just, think about your story a lot. You have a story. Don't underestimate your story. Your story is a collective story of your parents, your neighborhood, your neighbors, your books. It's all part of your story, so don't underestimate your story. Please tell your story, talk about yourself, talk about, the environment you grew up in, things that bothers you. Talk about it. It matters a lot when we talk about our personal things. A lot of people, a lot of time people shy away, they avoid talking about themselves because they think it's showing off.  I don't think it's showing off. You are at your most authentic self when you just talk about your story as your story. So please don't underestimate your stories. We might pick up one of your stories and make a movie out of it.

Welcome to my page, where I help aspiring writers achieve their dreams of becoming published authors. My name is Mick, known online as The Doctor of Digital, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you.Growing up in a working-class family, I was surrounded by people who worked hard to provide for their families. My father was a factory worker, and my grandfather was a truck driver. Before that, our family had a long history of farming. But despite our humble beginnings, my parents were determined to break the cycle of poverty and create a better life for themselves and their children.My parents were the first in their respective families to graduate from high school, let alone college. In fact, other than a half-uncle, I was the first in my family to even attend college. And I was considered "not college material" by my teachers. But my parents instilled in me a love for reading, learning, and a strong work ethic, which helped me overcome the odds and achieve my academic goals.Throughout my academic journey, I wrote over 85 academic papers, earned three advanced degrees, including a PhD, and earned nine certificates in executive management, and educational technology. Not surprisingly, I became a professor, teaching 35 college-level courses. I even held leadership positions such as Campus Dean, Vice President, and Executive Director. But despite my many accomplishments, I never lost sight of my passion for writing.After years of writing and teaching, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a published author.

In this thought-provoking episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore the transformative world of edtech with Graham Glass, CEO of CYPHER Learning and a visionary in the field of educational technology. Graham, a former senior lecturer at the University of Texas, Dallas, shares his fascinating journey from academia to entrepreneurship, revealing how he has consistently been at the forefront of driving meaningful change in the education industry. The conversation explores the seismic shift happening in learning environments—traditional and corporate—pivoting on human-focused experience design. Graham discusses how he and his team at CYPHER Learning are championing this shift through next-generation intelligent learning platforms. These platforms are not merely responsive; they actively mentor learners, regardless of geographical distance, breaking down traditional barriers to effective education. Among the episode's highlights is the discussion about Copilot, CYPHER's revolutionary AI-driven tool that significantly accelerates course creation. We examine the complexities and challenges of integrating AI into education, balancing the potential for fast, automated course design with the need for human oversight to ensure content quality and accuracy. Here, they touch on a pervasive concern: as we delegate more tasks to AI, how do we guard against misinformation and maintain the integrity of educational content? Taking a broader view, the conversation also encompasses the future of EdTech, scrutinizing how emerging technologies like AR could further revolutionize the landscape. Graham offers insights into how technologies can be harnessed to create tailored, personalized learning experiences that resonate with the learner.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of education, the ethical and practical implications of AI in learning, and how technology can be leveraged to create more inclusive and effective educational experiences.

How do teachers learn how to teach? They go through a whole process of licensing, and academic theory, but where do teachers practice teaching? Justin Reich is an Associate Professor of Comparative Media Studies at MIT, as well as the Director for the MIT Teaching Systems Lab, a space where teachers can practice how to teach. He's compiled nearly two decades of experience into a book, Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education, and hosts a podcast called TeachLab. As a veteran of the education space, Justin feels that there's no tech based magic bullet that somehow can improve the country's gigantic education system: it's going to come down to having the best teachers. And you get the best teachers, just like how coaches get the best athletes, by creating a safe space where people can experiment, fail, reflect, try again, and practice, practice, practice. With a new year just around the corner, it's the perfect time to think about turning over a new leaf when it comes to teaching, so with that…let's bring it in!

Let's transform education systems by reigniting intrinsic motivation! The Chair and CEO of STiR Education, Jo Owen and Girish Menon, explain why motivation is key to success. STiR Education operates in India and Uganda, they've recently started a program in Indonesia and are currently in discussions with the education ministry in Ethiopia.  Brazil is being explored. They've been funded by some of the world's leading foundations, including MacArthur Foundation, IKEA Foundation, Dubai Cares, ELMA Foundation and UBS Optimus. We hear how intrinsic motivation needs to run across entire education systems and without it even the most targeted education interventions are at increased risk of failure.  Jo Owen and Girish Menon provide excellent insight and vivid examples to inform, inspire and help you make a bigger impact.

On this episode of FranklinCovey Education's Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham was joined by Franklin Covey Education President Sean Covey for an introspective look at Covey's career and the organization's mission to “[transform] education around the globe by bringing leadership principles and skills to as many kids, educators and schools as possible.” As usual, the podcast began with the Brad Montague-inspired question of, “Why do you love what you do?” For Covey, it's a simple answer. “I've done a lot of different things in my life. I love working in education,” he said. “These kids are amazing, and I think that there's an identity theft going on in the world where kids are not remembering who they are and the great gifts and potential they have inside. … Everything I write about is all about helping people, especially you, achieve their worth and potential.” Covey and Odham explored Covey's life and career, from being one of nine children of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" author Stephen Covey to playing quarterback for BYU, discovering a passion for working with kids and teens, and writing seminal works on leadership like “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.” The duo also dove into the life of the elder Covey, who Sean said was “no respecter of persons.” “He treated everybody exactly the same,” he said.
