Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to Integrate This, your go -to edtech
- 0:03podcast where curiosity meets classroom innovation.
- 0:07Join your hosts, David Berner and Jeremy Mikla,
- 0:09as we explore the rapidly evolving world of educational
- 0:12technology. From game -changing tools to insightful
- 0:15conversations with today's top edtech voices,
- 0:18we're here to help educators stay informed, inspired,
- 0:21and ready to innovate. So tune in, level up,
- 0:25and let's integrate this. Hello. Welcome to the
- 0:30Integrate This EdTech podcast. I'm David Berner,
- 0:34joined with my co -host here, Jeremy Mikla, and
- 0:38hopefully you were able to get some lunch that
- 0:43we provided for you free of charge. Just make
- 0:46sure you submit your receipts for reimbursement.
- 0:49I have to give credit to Jeremy for that line.
- 0:51He gave me that one as we came back from the
- 0:54lunch break. Jeremy, how you doing? I'm doing
- 0:58great, David. You know, first off, I think it's
- 1:01been a great start to the symposium so far. I
- 1:04think all of you at SWWC that helped put this
- 1:07on really deserve a big huge round of applause
- 1:12and really appreciative of you providing this
- 1:16space to. Be able to discuss some of these important
- 1:19topics re revolving around this concept of AI
- 1:22and education and I I'm excited for the ones
- 1:25to come after this too. So thank you to all the
- 1:28presenters because it sure made this a valuable
- 1:31experience so far. Yep, we're just a footnote,
- 1:34right? We just we're just talking about one thing
- 1:37here and doing our podcast. So yeah, but that's
- 1:41OK. Yeah, so what we actually want to do is if
- 1:45we could, we want to do a little bit of interaction.
- 1:47So if you could in the Q &A here, I'm just going
- 1:52to put a question. And if you want to respond
- 1:54to this question the best you can, what is the
- 1:57difference between AI and gen AI? Because we
- 2:04kind of been using them interchangeably a little
- 2:07bit. So I'm going to post that in the Q &A and
- 2:10go ahead and. Answer that question. I'll pin
- 2:14it at the top here. I will bring the resources
- 2:18back up. But we're going to pin what is the difference
- 2:22between AI and gen AI. We want to see if anybody
- 2:26could answer that question. Or answer it better
- 2:30than we can and then we'll just steal your answer
- 2:32and we'll we'll we'll run with it, right? Exactly.
- 2:37See if we get any. Coming into the chat. Maybe
- 2:44the better question to start off with then what
- 2:46did you have for lunch? Okay, we got a first
- 2:53response there so far a AI is specifically built
- 2:57models for a task gen AI are based on LL M's
- 3:05Generative you definitely mean generative generative.
- 3:08Yep. Great question. Great question Kimberly
- 3:13Shelly says the difference is Jen. The difference
- 3:16is Jen. There is no Jen in AI. Perfect. Good
- 3:22question. And I feel like I fall victim to this
- 3:29too, because like a lot of times I'll be talking
- 3:31about an AI tool or something. See, it's just
- 3:33there. It's like a Jen AI tool. Not to give it
- 3:37too much away, but. I always do that Mac and
- 3:42cheese. That's a great. That's a great lunch.
- 3:45It's a great lunch. Yeah, I think it's just,
- 3:50you know, I think we fall victim to it because
- 3:52it's just kind of a shorthand. You know, I think
- 3:54in our own brain we know we mean gen AI, but
- 3:57we just say AI. But you know, it's a misnomer.
- 4:01It's a little inaccurate here, especially when
- 4:03we when we want to frame the conversations around
- 4:06education, because I think we definitely are
- 4:08mostly referring about. the generative one. Not
- 4:11to be confused with a one sauce. Yes. It's different
- 4:15from AI. Education secretaries might point out
- 4:19for you, you know. OK, well, so we get we do
- 4:25have some responses in here. And. So one of the
- 4:32things we want to get into it here, Jeremy. Yeah,
- 4:35I'm going to. Pick the right window. Do you have
- 4:45to add the window? I do. There it is. All right.
- 4:51Okay, perfect. Thanks for joining. I think David
- 4:55and I didn't mean to cut you off there, bud.
- 4:57But you know what we're going to try to do here
- 5:00for the next 25 minutes or so that we have is
- 5:03to kind of bend the conversation towards a topic
- 5:06that has come up a couple of different times
- 5:08already from presenters and in the panel. And
- 5:11it's this topic of AI literacy. And so David
- 5:14and I want to kind of tackle that part of it
- 5:17here and maybe begin with a little bit of some
- 5:21foundational things as it. relates to our conversation
- 5:26here, so that we all start off on the same page.
- 5:31Yeah, so just to start off too, I mean, one of
- 5:34the things that you'll see later on, there's
- 5:36a graphic that basically separates AI from gen
- 5:40AI. So we'll get a little bit more into that.
- 5:42But if we're talking just about artificial intelligence
- 5:45as a concept, It's actually would be classified
- 5:49as a science. AI is a science. Gen AI, as we
- 5:53have progressed over the last few decades here,
- 5:56is really getting into these large language models
- 6:00and the tools that are used, generative AI and
- 6:04referring to the text. So literacy, the AI literacy
- 6:12is extremely essential. I think you can kind
- 6:15of gather that from the conversations that have
- 6:18been had so far. AI isn't going away. So the
- 6:23natural thing to do is to learn about AI. So
- 6:28when we talk about AI literacy, what we are really
- 6:31meaning is the knowledge, skills, and competencies
- 6:34needed to safely use and understand artificial
- 6:39intelligence. And then look at, and we're gonna
- 6:42do this in our talk, is what are the implications
- 6:45and limitations and ethical considerations for
- 6:49AI? Those are things that when we talk about
- 6:51AI, a lot of it is creating awareness and understanding
- 6:56around AI and its use. One thing we wanna make
- 6:59sure that we don't say is. AI literacy doesn't
- 7:03mean that you're just automatically proficient
- 7:06in AI use. It means that you're aware of some
- 7:10of the things that are involved in AI and the
- 7:12pitfalls therein, and the positives as well,
- 7:16right? So what would we like to see schools start
- 7:21to approach in terms of AI literacy? What is
- 7:26foundational and so one of the things that a
- 7:29lot of conversations that I've been having recently
- 7:30is it should start at the leadership at a district
- 7:35and there are so many areas where AI is going
- 7:40to impact and I think it's really important to
- 7:43distinguish. An Ed Tech tool from. It is not.
- 7:49It's not another Ed Tech tool, and I think that
- 7:52sometimes with the release of, you know, really
- 7:54great tools like magic school AI or school AI,
- 7:57which I know Jeremy is doing a bit on school
- 7:59AI later today. We shouldn't confuse that with
- 8:03an Ed Tech tool. We have to really from a leadership
- 8:06standpoint in a district. They should understand
- 8:08that. AI has implications in every facet of a
- 8:14district in every. Domain and so it's important
- 8:18to create understanding around that so that in
- 8:21a staff at a district leadership should be gathering
- 8:25a group together. to create understanding around
- 8:29AI, and that's where the AI literacy comes in,
- 8:32right? So it's awareness and understanding. And
- 8:36then from there, what we would want to do is
- 8:38create common language around AI, right? And
- 8:41actually, this kind of falls in line with what
- 8:43we were just doing as that first exercise, because
- 8:46it's like AI and gen AI, right? I'm using them
- 8:50interchangeably. So it's important as you're
- 8:52having conversations at your district to everybody
- 8:55be on the same page and have a shared common
- 8:58language when you're communicating about these
- 9:00things and making decisions around them. And
- 9:03then really, from there, if you have that common
- 9:08language, you have that team, it's about building
- 9:11capacity outward. So it may start at the leadership.
- 9:16It may trickle into creating a team. A lot of
- 9:20times you'll hear it referred to as a cross functional
- 9:22team, and that's the idea of getting a bunch
- 9:24of different people from a district involved
- 9:26in the conversation. People who are in various
- 9:29disciplines, people who like AI, people who hate
- 9:32AI right and are worried about AI. I think those
- 9:35are all important people to include, but the
- 9:38idea is that you should have a shared understanding
- 9:39as a team so that when any staff or student that
- 9:43comes to you, you will be able to answer. Effectively,
- 9:47what? What that is and what it means for your
- 9:50district and then the idea would be to expand
- 9:54that out. So then the shared understanding grows
- 9:56from the team to the entire staff and to the
- 10:00students and that's in terms of their knowledge
- 10:02about it and what the district deems as acceptable
- 10:05versus unacceptable use. I think those are all
- 10:07things that would be part of this conversation.
- 10:13Yeah, for sure. I don't think any of us are going
- 10:17to be experts at using any sort of AI or generative
- 10:21AI. And that's also where that idea of capacity
- 10:26building kind of comes into place too, right?
- 10:28It's just taking from where you are and moving
- 10:31to that next point. And I think Matt talked a
- 10:34lot about the future of education is going to
- 10:38need to be based around curiosity. And so I think
- 10:41that that curiosity needs to play a role too,
- 10:44and always being able to ask questions about
- 10:46it. So what do we mean here then? Well, as we
- 10:49pull it back to the Q &A that we asked you to
- 10:52begin this session with, you know the difference
- 10:55between AI and gen AI or generative AI. And I
- 11:00know David touched on this here a little bit,
- 11:02but they all fall underneath that branch of like
- 11:05a computer science, right? That artificial intelligence
- 11:08and you can kind of think of that as being that
- 11:10outermost circle that's there and then within
- 11:13that area of artificial intelligence. breaks
- 11:16it down into some smaller chunks that still fit
- 11:20within there. You have the machine learning that
- 11:22takes place and the deep learning. And then finally
- 11:24you get to that smaller circle that's near the
- 11:27bottom of that of that graphic there. And that's
- 11:30what we mean by generative AI. So these are going
- 11:33to be the AI tools that are going to help create.
- 11:37something or generate something, whether it's
- 11:40text or images, it could be video and audio or
- 11:44code. You know, think like chat GPT writing a
- 11:48story thinking about using Dolly or an image
- 11:51generation program to make a custom made graphic
- 11:56or image that you want to be able to use in a
- 11:59presentation that's going to depict more accurately
- 12:01than doing a Google image search. Whereas AI
- 12:05is going to be that tech that tries to mimic
- 12:08human decision making, you know, things that
- 12:10give you recommendations, for example, on Spotify
- 12:13or they help direct you in an unfamiliar city
- 12:19when you're trying to get to some restaurant
- 12:21and you type in the name of the restaurant and
- 12:24your Maps app takes you there and then reroutes
- 12:27you because, you know, it found you might save
- 12:29five minutes from traffic or whatever if you
- 12:33take the other route. But it is really important
- 12:36and I think you know David definitely touched
- 12:38on that as part of that common language and understanding
- 12:41that there is a distinction between the two and
- 12:44I think as we focus more and more on the uses
- 12:46of generative AI and education that we really
- 12:50kind of focus around that term and I know it's
- 12:53a difficult one to kind of continue to remind
- 12:56yourself just to talk about but it's also pretty
- 12:58important. Okay, so this is a definition that
- 13:07could be used. So if you're looking at what is
- 13:11AI literacy, it's understanding what AI is and
- 13:14what it isn't, using AI tools safely, ethically,
- 13:18and effectively, and being able to evaluate risks,
- 13:21benefits, and implications, teaching students
- 13:23how to think critically in an AI world. And that's
- 13:27something too that we'll come up in a little
- 13:28bit here, but just keeping the critical thinking
- 13:32and human aspect at the front, and this will
- 13:37all kind of be part of this AI literacy definition
- 13:40here. Right, so as we start to think about the
- 13:47use of AI in the classroom, and it's really nice
- 13:51coming on on the heels, I think of Mikel's presentation.
- 13:55You know, what are the things that we're worried
- 13:57about here? So David's going to drop this question
- 14:00into the Q &A and we'd love to have you respond.
- 14:04We threw a few ideas out here, but there are
- 14:06definitely many others. If one of these jumps
- 14:09out at you and you want to add it to your response
- 14:12in the Q &A, we would love to see if we get an
- 14:15accumulation of something that is more prevalent
- 14:18on people's minds right now than others. Or if
- 14:21there's something that you would like to throw
- 14:23out there, we would love to see. What is really
- 14:26worried about you? Let's name those fears right
- 14:28now so that we can move forward. Yeah, and I
- 14:32would say too, like these might. This is not
- 14:34an exhaustive list, but it might even include
- 14:36things specific to your role. Things that impact
- 14:40your role more. So while you know all of these
- 14:43could be concerning things, is there anything
- 14:45that? You're thinking about in terms of your
- 14:47role that it's like has an instant impact and
- 14:50there's already been conversations around. I
- 14:52think I think that would be important to point
- 14:54out as well. So go ahead and in the chat in the
- 14:58Q &A if you haven't yet, what are you worried
- 15:00about? OK, so you have a couple coming in. So
- 15:05AI helps us as much as it helps the bad guys
- 15:07regarding data security. Very true, right? Data
- 15:11privacy huge issue and even issues around. with
- 15:16the tools that have been meeting some of the
- 15:18data privacy requirements, right? We still know
- 15:20that there are large language models. The bigger
- 15:23ones are underneath those, and so there's still
- 15:25some questions there as to what is actually impacted.
- 15:30And I can reference a little bit. Eli has a data
- 15:32privacy vetting tool session right after us,
- 15:34so that'll be very helpful as well. Some other
- 15:37ones. I think that as educators there is this
- 15:40is from Amy Paul as. There is a worry that students
- 15:44are performing but are not learning the content,
- 15:47right? And I take that to mean, you know, they're
- 15:50just going through the motions almost, right?
- 15:52Is that kind of one way you would think of it,
- 15:54Jeremy? Oh, oh, definitely. You know, finding
- 15:57the path of least resistance, you know? Yep,
- 16:00yeah. And I see Amy Notch. Hi Amy. Talks about
- 16:04deep fakes and misinformation and worried about,
- 16:08you know, that being spread as if it were the
- 16:11truth and that, you know, how do we remain curious
- 16:14at the same time as human beings? Yeah, I think,
- 16:18you know, in my mind I think that whole idea
- 16:21of, you know, AI literacy, which we're focusing
- 16:24on here. Definitely has lots of crossovers with
- 16:29media literacy and news literacy and and even
- 16:32digital literacy if we want to talk about in
- 16:34all encompassing things and I think those definitely
- 16:37need to be part of that conversation too. Yeah,
- 16:41and if I could point out a couple more here,
- 16:42there are some where it's teachers are afraid
- 16:45of students not gaining the skills of the writing
- 16:47process. Teachers are worried about kids cheating.
- 16:52the habits of using AI to be the answer for all
- 16:55or to constantly be an easy button. I think all
- 16:59of those lend themselves to those in our chat
- 17:04being concerned about the human element of this.
- 17:07And one that really resonates with me actually
- 17:08is from Rochelle, humans losing their creativity
- 17:12in making their own content, which I think is
- 17:14a huge thing because I still firmly believe,
- 17:16and this is just my own thoughts, but I still
- 17:18firmly believe that if You and I were to take
- 17:22the same concept and make something, make a presentation
- 17:27around it, right? The way that we go about that
- 17:29is very unique, right? And so sometimes one of
- 17:33my worries is that AI with it mashing everything
- 17:36together, I know it will give different presentations
- 17:40out or papers out and things like that, even
- 17:42if you copy and paste the same prompt. But I
- 17:45do worry about the human element of that, where
- 17:49there is something unique about a person using
- 17:52it. So to me, I think we have to lean much more
- 17:54heavily into the partnership with AI, using it
- 17:58to enhance our human creativity, as opposed to
- 18:02thwarting it, right? Exactly. And basically denying
- 18:05it. One other one here, Sean, I'm I'm worried
- 18:09about the vision that this can replace teachers
- 18:11and the economics of school will mean that there
- 18:14is a belief teachers are too expensive. That's
- 18:17another great point and and one with humans at
- 18:20the center again, right? Absolutely, and we're
- 18:25not trying to minimize any of these concerns.
- 18:26They're all really, really valid. Just in the
- 18:29interest of time, we kind of need to move on
- 18:30a little bit. So if we didn't address yours,
- 18:32it's not that we didn't think yours was important.
- 18:35It definitely is. But you know when it when it
- 18:39comes to I think a lot of teachers classrooms
- 18:41teachers fears and I know Matt address this in
- 18:44his keynote as well and I know your panelists
- 18:46all talked about it. You know Chris talked about
- 18:50it. The English Department being the first ones
- 18:52that were concerned about the use of generative
- 18:56AI in their classes being about cheating about
- 19:00plagiarism going against the academic integrity
- 19:03of the school. But you know there are many other
- 19:07concerns and I think a lot of them came up here
- 19:10in the ones that you guys all added into the
- 19:13chat. They talked about deep fakes. Misinformation
- 19:16was part of that. The cognitive offload was definitely
- 19:20part of that. David, I know you touched on that
- 19:22creativity part of it as well. artificial intimacy
- 19:26that Michael just covered? Yeah, exactly. And
- 19:31bias is another one that also concerns me. And
- 19:35I did jot down a quote from Matt's keynote, and
- 19:39I even highlighted it in my notes. It's AI bias
- 19:43is really human bias, right? And so, you know,
- 19:46are we ever going to eliminate that human bias?
- 19:49I don't think that's Even possible. So I don't
- 19:53think it because and because our AI systems are
- 19:56all trained on data Created by humans at least
- 20:00up until this point the products that our generative
- 20:04AI is going to spit back at us is going to be
- 20:07a reflection of that, which means it's also a
- 20:09reflection of those biases that we have. So I
- 20:13think just like we're cognizant when we have
- 20:15interactions and discussions with others of what
- 20:18their biases might be, I think we also need to
- 20:20acknowledge the artificial intelligence bias
- 20:23as well. All right. So this is You can see, and
- 20:31this is actually we have to give credit here
- 20:33to AI for education. Amanda Bickerstaff. This
- 20:36is one of their graphics that they use, and this
- 20:39touches on all those elements of AI literacy.
- 20:42And so if we could just kind of go through them
- 20:44briefly, you're looking at what they their model
- 20:48is called C, right? So safely, ethically, and
- 20:52effectively. So when you look at safety, it's
- 20:55a lot of those things that we're talking about
- 20:57with protecting student data. evaluating as best
- 21:01as best we can the risks of AI tools and then
- 21:05maintaining a healthy balance of AI human interactions.
- 21:09The second one ethically and this this actually
- 21:12touches on you know again what people were putting
- 21:15in the chat maintaining academic integrity what
- 21:18are the ways that we can go about that and a
- 21:21lot of this again is going to require districts
- 21:25having in -house conversations around these things.
- 21:28Awareness of AIs, other ethical issues, and then
- 21:31adopt a do no harm mindset. So again, center
- 21:35people, right? Effectively, centering human originality
- 21:40and using best fit tools. So not just using tools
- 21:43again for the sake of using a tool, but does
- 21:47it actually fit and assist in enhancing. what
- 21:51you're trying to produce while keeping human
- 21:53originality at the center. And then there's prompting
- 21:56strategies, which are important in education,
- 21:59particularly for, you know, I find this very
- 22:01useful for teachers that have not interacted
- 22:04with AI before, but giving them some sort of
- 22:06template, a prompting template to work with so
- 22:09that they can get the most out of it and then
- 22:12evaluate it from there and refine those outputs.
- 22:17So we're going to take a look at each one of
- 22:20these letters of the C in a little bit more detail
- 22:23given the time constraints we have though. So
- 22:26it's going to be around the high overview part
- 22:28of it right here, right? The idea is to take
- 22:31what's. presented here and bring it back and
- 22:34have those conversations with your leadership
- 22:36and then with your teams and trickling down from
- 22:40there. But the first letter here, and I think
- 22:43it's an important part that, you know, and to
- 22:45me, I think of like the Blooms hierarchy type
- 22:49stuff and the Maslow's where you've got to start
- 22:52with. You know you feel safe and secure, and
- 22:54I think that's true with using. our gen AI as
- 22:58well, is that we need to make sure that we're
- 23:01being hyper conscious about protecting student
- 23:05data, reminding them of the digital footprints
- 23:07that they leave. So it really ties in that digital
- 23:10citizenship piece to it here as well. Reading
- 23:13the terms of service and privacy policies. I
- 23:16know that it says yes really, but you know AI
- 23:19can also. Gen .ai can also help you break down
- 23:23some of those. There are some tools out there
- 23:26that can help evaluate what some of those privacy
- 23:29policies really say in terms of service. I know
- 23:33one of those platforms in Minnesota that SWWC
- 23:37uses is the Learn platform, and I know that is
- 23:42a good tool to turn to and look for. Is this
- 23:46not just AI tool, but really any EdTech tool
- 23:49meeting the standards that we have within our
- 23:53state and within our country for keeping our
- 23:55children safe? Knowing where data is stored,
- 23:58who has access to it, and also preparing. people
- 24:02for things that are going to happen like deep
- 24:05fakes and misinformation, which again to me brings
- 24:08back those other types of literacy pieces. And
- 24:11you know, I think have an intention for using
- 24:14the tools that you use. Don't just follow the
- 24:17hype of the newest, greatest tool that's out
- 24:19there. You know, remember, stick to your tried
- 24:22and true teaching practices and use AI or generative
- 24:25AI to enhance what it is that you're doing so
- 24:29it elevates that learning or it. it improves
- 24:31that instruction. Yep, and then ethically model
- 24:39AI transparency. This is so this is one thing
- 24:42that is talked about a lot as well is being being
- 24:46transparent about when you're using it both.
- 24:48I would say both from the professional or teacher
- 24:51standpoint or administrator as well. But setting
- 24:55the example of so you know, let's say that you
- 24:58use it as a teacher. for a lesson and you're
- 25:02delivering that lesson to your students, then
- 25:04we would recommend, you know, putting in there
- 25:07somewhere that this was used and in what way,
- 25:10right? And then that creates the AI transparency
- 25:13sets an example. And then when you have students.
- 25:17interacting with it as well, teaching them how
- 25:19to cite those things, you know, put that in there
- 25:22that you had it help you generate that outline
- 25:25for your paper that you're going to write, right?
- 25:27Those type of things. And that will help the
- 25:30academic integrity conversation as you move through
- 25:33that. But setting a good example, to the students
- 25:37by our own use is going to be extremely important
- 25:40because so much of it and this this goes back
- 25:42to our conversation with matt and our podcast
- 25:44it's like you know the the whole idea of like
- 25:47a teacher saying like oh i can use it for my
- 25:50you know for myself for my profession but you
- 25:52can't use it you know it's it those become harder
- 25:54yeah yeah those become very hard if that's the
- 25:58stance you're going to take because um it's hypocritical
- 26:01right i mean it's like you're using it but it's
- 26:03just it's a matter of not that you're using it,
- 26:07but in what way and having conversations about
- 26:09what way you're using it. So foster fostering
- 26:13those practices and prioritizing how to use these
- 26:17things and using that do no harm principle. Use
- 26:20it in a in a good way that will aid you in showing
- 26:24how that's done as a as an educator. And then
- 26:29the final E of that C is effectively. I touched
- 26:32on this just a moment ago here. I probably could
- 26:34have waited till I showed this slide, but it
- 26:36was just kind of fresh in my mind that you've
- 26:38always got to start with that learning goal.
- 26:40That's just best instructional teaching practices
- 26:43or aligning it to your standards and and go from
- 26:46there. Then find the tools that are going to
- 26:49best be suited to that particular lesson or that
- 26:52particular group of students, because we all
- 26:54know that not all students and all classes are
- 26:57going to. receive the content most effectively
- 27:00through the same manner. So be ready to be flexible,
- 27:05be ready to adapt, and I think that's all part
- 27:07of it as well. Teaching students how to effectively.
- 27:11prompt, reflect, and iterate, I think is super
- 27:15important. I know one of the acronyms that I
- 27:18like to use when I first introduced prompting
- 27:20to a group is the CREATE, which stands for context,
- 27:24role, end goal, audience, tasks, and examples.
- 27:27And not that I start there when I create prompts
- 27:31myself, but as I look back on my prompt, as I'm
- 27:33typing it, I am conscious. Am I giving it the
- 27:38background information that it's going to generate
- 27:41the best response for me? Am I telling it that
- 27:45I want you to be, you know, an expert gourmet
- 27:47chef or do I want you to be like, you know, grandma's,
- 27:53you know, you're cooking in grandma's kitchen
- 27:54or something? And then, you know, what are the
- 27:58steps that you need to take and any examples
- 27:59that you can provide it as well are also super
- 28:02important. And I think all throughout this, if
- 28:05you don't get what you want, you iterate. And
- 28:08I think that is kind of something that needs
- 28:11to be stressed here too, to be an effective user
- 28:14of AI. I was doing a task earlier today and I
- 28:18had to say, stop, you're going down the wrong
- 28:20path, let's start over and start fresh. And then
- 28:23I got the stuff that I wanted when we tried it
- 28:24the second time through, right? Yep. And then
- 28:30the other thing is just building a supportive
- 28:32culture, which we talked about. And I think It's
- 28:36going to be very hard to do that if you don't
- 28:38first have leadership starting to build a team
- 28:42to have conversations. It's really hard to have
- 28:46culture if there's no conversations happening
- 28:48because that's where it leads to. In some cases
- 28:51where you've got some teachers using this and
- 28:54some teachers using that, it's this tool and
- 28:57that tool, but there's no foundational concepts
- 28:59that have been established to foster. you know,
- 29:03a supportive culture or, you know, have building
- 29:07capacity out through the district if everybody's
- 29:09kind of doing their own thing. It's not that
- 29:11there can't be some difference in tool use, but
- 29:14you should start at the foundations so that whatever
- 29:17tool a teacher might go to, there's foundational
- 29:20concepts that have been laid about what we've
- 29:23been talking about. Safe use. ethical use and
- 29:26effective use. Those things would be a part of
- 29:29that in creating that culture. That's going to
- 29:31be very important. So we would love to continue
- 29:36this conversation and I think one way that you
- 29:39can help continue that conversation with us is
- 29:42definitely join us and listen to our podcast.
- 29:46So I'm sure David will share some resources,
- 29:49the links where you can find us. Yeah, yeah,
- 29:54you can you can find us on well, we're on YouTube
- 29:56We do a lot of tutorials on YouTube if you're
- 29:58interested in checking us out there integrate
- 30:00this edtech podcast But we also are on Apple
- 30:03podcast and Spotify now and there's a little
- 30:06bit of a difference there We can't really do
- 30:08our tutorials on on those platforms because you
- 30:11can't really see them And so we we have some
- 30:15really great podcasts coming up of the audio
- 30:18form Jeremy and I have conversations on there,
- 30:21but Matt Miller, our conversation with Matt is
- 30:24on there already. Have a great one with Manuel
- 30:27Herrera as well. And then we have some great
- 30:30guests coming up. Eric Kurtz is coming out very
- 30:35soon. We are interviewing Eric next week and
- 30:37we'll have that interview out on the podcast.
- 30:41Leon Firs, the creator of the AI Assessment Scale.
- 30:45Monica Burns is gonna join us. Amanda Bickerstaff
- 30:48and I'm missing one. I had one other one. I don't
- 30:53have to list in front of me. It's going to be
- 30:56a great summer. David and I are super excited
- 30:58just to meet these people, really. But then to
- 31:02be able to share out to a larger audience is
- 31:06really what excites me about it.
