AI can feel like a runaway train in classrooms and training programs—powerful, fast, and a little scary. We take the controls and show how to turn generative tools into true co-pilots: clear roles, simple guardrails, and small pilots that free us to focus on coaching, feedback, and real human connection.You'll hear role-based examples across K-12, higher education, and corporate learning: differentiated reading passages and exit tickets, outcome-aligned case prompts and quiz banks, and realistic scenario practice plus microlearning nudges for on-the-job performance.Want to put this into action? Grab the pilot checklist from the show notes, try one workflow this week, and tell us what changed. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more educators and L&D pros can build ethical, effective AI co-pilots.

In this inspiring episode of the Reading With Your Kids podcast, host Jed Doherty sits down with former Major League Baseball player turned artist and author Micah Johnson to talk about his powerful new middle grade novel, Aku: Journey to Ibra. Micah shares how a casual comment during spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers unexpectedly launched his art career, eventually leading him to create Aku, a Black kid in an astronaut helmet inspired by his nephew's question, "Can astronauts be Black?" What began as a painting grew into 3D art, public sculptures, and now a fast‑paced, sci‑fi adventure book designed to help kids dream big, build confidence, and understand that no one reaches their dreams alone. Micah and Jed dive into themes of asking for help, vulnerability, and representation, exploring how seeing yourself in powerful roles—on a giant canvas, in VR, or on the page—can reshape a child's sense of what's possible. Micah also pulls back the curtain on his creative process, explaining how he uses VR sculpting and 3D printing to build the world of Aku and make art more accessible to kids and families. In the Listen Back segment, Jed revisits a conversation with author Andrea Williams about her book Baseball's Leading Lady: Effa Manley and the Rise and Fall of the Negro Leagues. They discuss Effa Manley's trailblazing role as a Black woman team owner, the history of the Negro Leagues, and why sharing honest, complex Black history with kids is essential for raising thoughtful, informed readers.

Vicki Dobbs Beck, the former head of ILMxLab and a 34-year veteran of Lucasfilm/Disney, joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a candid look back at her incredible career navigating the tech and cultural shifts inside one of Hollywood's most powerful empires. Though she announced her retirement, it was quickly delayed to take an interim lead position at the George Lucas Educational Foundation's Lucas Learning, focusing on project-based simulations for middle school—a return to a career passion she started in the early 90s.Vicki shares the core, "rebel alliance" strategy that made ILMxLab a success—sustained innovation, industry acknowledgment, and financial self-sufficiency—and tells the terrifying story of pushing the Quest 1 headset to its absolute limits for the launch of Vader Immortal. She discusses the crucial lessons learned from pivoting the development to center the player in the story, transforming the experience from a "spatial film" to a personal journey, and the importance of slowing the pacing down for a new art form like VR.Before the interview, the hosts dissect a week of massive raises in AI (World Labs' $1B, Recursive Intelligence's $335M), the strategic shifts of tech giants like Palantir to Miami, and the intensifying race in wearables with Apple, Meta, and OpenAI all developing new devices like pendants and glasses.Key Moments00:03:17 – World Labs & Unity AI: Discussing the $1B World Labs raise for 3D world generation and Unity's plans to build AI into its game engine to make it accessible to non-developers.00:06:11 – The Miami Tech Hub: Rony Abovitz on why founders like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Larry, and Sergei are moving to Miami—it's more than just taxes, it's about a new “America strategy.”00:12:30 – Apple Watch as Wearables Base: Ted Schilowitz argues Apple already has the micro-technology (from the Apple Watch) to dominate the wearables space, but the underperformance of Siri held them back.00:27:00 – LaserDisc Learning: Vicki's early career in Lucasfilm Learning using cutting-edge but bulky computer-driven laser disc players for educational multimedia.00:28:57 – VR is 'Outsized': Ted's thesis that immersive technology has historically been overfunded and over-expected to return a profit, contrasting with the "rebel alliance" approach.00:34:45 – The Quest 1 Launch Scare: The terrifying moment before the Vader Immortal launch when a tiny software update broke the app because ILMxLab had pushed the Quest hardware to its absolute maximum.00:42:11 – The Void & Full VR Power: Charlie, Ted, and Vicki discuss why location-based VR like Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire (The Void) represents the exotic, "Ferrari version" of VR that most commercial users never experience.This conversation is a masterclass in pioneering entertainment technology. Vicki Dobbs Beck's experience shows that the path to a sustainable, breakthrough product like Vader Immortal requires a clear, rebel-alliance-style strategy, a willingness to pivot on core design principles (spatial film vs. player-centric experience), and a deep understanding of the hardware's limits—or lack thereof. It highlights the essential tension between commercial scale and the pursuit of the 'ultimate' immersive experience.Catch the AI XR Podcast where you get podcasts and watch full video episodes on YouTube. https://youtu.be/vguuHDmaSbsThis episode of The AI XR Podcast is brought to you by Zappar, the folks behind Mattercraft.

Photo by Masahiro Naruse on Unsplash Published 23 February 2026 e544 with Andy, Michael and Michael – Stories and discussion on rumoured AI devices, addictive predictives, listening through bananas (or mud), and what happens when VR platforms die? Plus the usual assortment or other things. This week’s episode kicks off with a check in on which tech giants are working on what devices, now? Apple stepping back from headsets but working on glasses and pendants, and OpenAI making some kind of smart Pod for your dumb Home? Then, there’s discussion of the challenges of privacy when LLMs get access to private email and chats. Oh, and if you’re not sure if your AI is an LLM or a sentience, then Anthropic can’t answer that. We hope you’re listening to the show in perfect digital quality, but we’re also interested to know if you’ve tried piping it to your ears through any kind of fruit – let us know. Meta’s fully backing away from VR for Horizon Worlds, and in case Blizzard ever stops making the client software for World of Warcraft, Michael tried an open source version. Finally, don’t let hackers get hold of your brainwaves!

Dans IDÉES, cette semaine, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit le vétéran du journalisme politique, Alain Duhamel, pour un conversation vivante émaillée d'anecdotes. Avec son dernier livre en date « Les Politiques. Portraits et croquis », Alain Duhamel, un observateur exigeant, toujours aussi présent à la télévision, comme il le fut dans les décennies précédentes, se nourrit de plus de cinquante ans d'analyse du pouvoir afin de brosser le portrait de figures d'hier et d'aujourd'hui qui façonnent la vie politique française. Il faut le voir en parler, l'œil vif et pétillant avec une gourmandise que le temps n'a pas altérée. L'ouvrage rassemble environ soixante personnalités, de Marine Le Pen à Gabriel Attal, de Gérald Darmanin à Jordan Bardella, mais aussi des acteurs plus institutionnels comme François Bayrou ou Sébastien Lecornu. Le journaliste, homme de culture, qui a la mémoire longue, convoque également de grandes figures de la Vè République — Raymond Barre, Michel Debré, Simone Veil, Robert Badinter, Alain Peyrefitte — afin de mettre en perspective les ressorts du pouvoir actuel.

Dans IDÉES, cette semaine, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit le vétéran du journalisme politique, Alain Duhamel, pour un conversation vivante émaillée d'anecdotes. Avec son dernier livre en date « Les Politiques. Portraits et croquis », Alain Duhamel, un observateur exigeant, toujours aussi présent à la télévision, comme il le fut dans les décennies précédentes, se nourrit de plus de cinquante ans d'analyse du pouvoir afin de brosser le portrait de figures d'hier et d'aujourd'hui qui façonnent la vie politique française. Il faut le voir en parler, l'œil vif et pétillant avec une gourmandise que le temps n'a pas altérée. L'ouvrage rassemble environ soixante personnalités, de Marine Le Pen à Gabriel Attal, de Gérald Darmanin à Jordan Bardella, mais aussi des acteurs plus institutionnels comme François Bayrou ou Sébastien Lecornu. Le journaliste, homme de culture, qui a la mémoire longue, convoque également de grandes figures de la Vè République — Raymond Barre, Michel Debré, Simone Veil, Robert Badinter, Alain Peyrefitte — afin de mettre en perspective les ressorts du pouvoir actuel. Cette articulation entre hier et aujourd'hui constitue l'un des intérêts de l'ouvrage. Les portraits incisifs, parfois vachards, ne sont jamais dénués d'humanisme, un mot-clé pour comprendre le regard d'Alain Duhamel sur les acteurs de la « comédie du pouvoir » chère à Françoise Giroud. Cet esprit vif croque ses sujets avec une causticité élégante, cherchant moins à régler des comptes qu'à dévoiler les mécanismes, les contradictions et les tempéraments qui façonnent les politiques qui, doit-on le souligner, sont avant tout des êtres humains.

Chris Terrell introduces a new episode format by sharing an impromptu hot seat coaching call from his Guild program's maintenance class. The featured coaching conversation is with Misty (a previous guest) who has lost about 190 pounds and maintained it, but struggles to add exercise consistently. Chris also mentions a free three-week audio weight loss coaching course available at becomingthin.com.In the coaching call, Misty explains her rigid standard that “exercise” must be a 45–60 minute gym session, combined with a chaotic schedule, low enjoyment of the gym, and lack of a compelling goal. She likes activities that feel like normal life (hiking, paddleboarding, lake swimming) and notes fear around goals that might expose physical limitations (including pulmonary concerns). Chris and the group identify the root causes as philosophy/definition of exercise, unrealistic expectations, and focusing on “being better” rather than building the habit of showing up. Alex shares his own progression from very small fitness goals (VR workouts/kettlebell swings) to daily training, emphasizing that intrusive resistance thoughts can remain while the habit continues.Chris guides Misty toward lowering the minimum standard to something “insultingly easy,” focusing first on consistency and accountability rather than the perfect program. He suggests setting a small, repeatable baseline (e.g., three days a week for 10 minutes for several weeks), allowing overdelivery without raising the standard too soon, reducing friction by taking tiny next steps (putting on workout clothes, driving to the park), and pairing exercise with enjoyable elements (music, audiobooks, scrolling, phone calls). He reinforces that since Misty isn't chasing a specific performance goal yet, she can sample different activities and let a motivating goal emerge later. The episode ends with Chris highlighting how root cause analysis and coaching can shorten the time it takes to solve recurring problems.00:00 Welcome Back, Champion: Learning From Failure00:34 Chris's 125-Lb Story & the 6 Levers That Change Results01:13 Why This Episode: A Real Coaching Call on Adding Exercise03:06 Quick Plug: Free 3-Week Weight Loss Coaching Course04:01 Misty's Roadblocks: Gym Hate, Time, and a Chaotic Schedule06:08 Finding a Real Fitness Goal (Pushups, Pullups… or Something Bigger)08:08 The Real Root Cause: Rigid Definitions & Fear of Not Being Capable12:47 Resetting Expectations: What Counts as Exercise?

Can the emotional power of a blockbuster movie actually help a student master organic chemistry? In this episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper talks with Josh Reibel, CEO of Dreamscape Learn, about the radical redesign of the learning experience.Josh shares his "circuitous" 35-year journey from being a high school teacher in the late 80s to serving as the CEO of Amplify Learning and eventually partnering with Michael Crow and Walter Parkes to lead Dreamscape Learn. We dive into the "Alien Zoo"—the flagship VR curriculum where students become field biologists in a cinematic intergalactic sanctuary—and discuss why emotional engagement is the key to student persistence.Beyond the headsets, Josh explains the logistics of the "Immersive Classroom" and how VR can serve as a "departure hub" for students regardless of their geography or socio-economic background. Whether you are a college president worried about the enrollment cliff or an educator looking for the next frontier of student engagement, this conversation provides a blueprint for the future of the 21st-century classroom.

This one stretches the mind in the best way. What if gravity is the most overlooked force in modern medicine? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Brennan Spiegel, Professor of Medicine and Public Health, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, and Director of the Cedars-Sinai Center for Virtual Medicine and Health System Transformation. We explore bio-gravitational medicine, a groundbreaking framework connecting physics, perception, virtual reality, and human physiology. Watch the video version here. We discuss: How humans evolved to regulate against and stand up to gravity The Reality Paradox and simulation theory in healthcare Why artificial environments may disrupt mind-body balance How virtual reality (VR) can literally "lift" your state of being Why virtual experiences can create real biological change How VR may restore biophilia and reconnect us with our biological origins Why even our perception of gravity influences HRV, cortisol, and mental health What healthcare leaders must consider when designing digital health platforms As digital health accelerates, this conversation challenges us to rethink how technology interacts with human biology. Can simulation realign us with our evolutionary roots? If you're a healthcare executive, clinician, or digital health innovator, this episode will expand how you think about mind-body medicine and the future of healing.

I always felt like I was born in the wrong time. I grew up on science fiction-- Star Trek, Star Gate, Star Wars--but I knew I would never live in a world where I could actually sit in the cockpit of a spaceship and travel to other planets. Now I've come as close as I ever will! After finally diving into VR, with games like No Man's Sky, Elite Dangerous, Resident Evil 4, and Half-Life: Alyx, I had a moment that genuinely surprised me. It felt like the fulfillment of something I'd been waiting for since I was a kid. In this episode of State of the Arc, we talk about: -Why VR feels fundamentally different from traditional gaming -The immersion factor that's hard to explain unless you've tried it -The recent Meta layoffs and what they might mean for the future of VR -The real barriers to entry (cost, motion sickness, comfort, and adoption) -Whether VR is a gimmick or the future If you've ever wondered whether VR is worth it or if it's just hype, this is our honest experience after finally putting the headset on.

Newt talks with Chris Brickler, co-founder and CEO of Mynd Immersive. He discusses the innovative use of virtual reality (VR) to address challenges faced by an aging population, such as mobility, isolation, and loneliness. Mynd Immersive's VR technology aims to transport seniors out of their mundane environments into engaging experiences, such as concerts and museum tours, enhancing their mental and emotional well-being. Mynd collaborates with universities and researchers to explore the health benefits of VR for older adults. The company has developed partnerships with organizations like the VA and CTA Foundation to expand access to underserved communities and veterans. Research studies, including collaborations with the VA and Stanford, have demonstrated significant reductions in isolation among seniors using Mynd Immersive’s VR technology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
