I did a Substack Live the other day. I’ve turned it into a podcast and will add two highlight video clips. Naturally, I’m talking about AI and directing our attention to what parents, teachers, mentors, coaches, and consultants will have to manage in schools going forward.
I get asked how summer school is going. It is quiet. I was wary about working during the summer because summer of 2021 was a total mess. This is different. The students sit and stare at the phone screen, and if I let them do that for over an hour they’ll gladly comply.
When I use SchoolAI, the device addled student mostly enjoys it. They can work on the phone, keep to themselves, and work as they see fit. I don’t know how much they learn. In the podcast I try to talk about the “regular student” as someone to reach. Also, the horse is out of the barn. There’s no going back, so complaining about lazy students cheating using AI is legitimate and a real concern, but grows tiring.
What can we do? There are early adopters out even as I write this.
AI for the regular student:
The genie is out of the bottle:
