Latest / Integrate This! Ed Tech Podcast / AI for Education at Instructure Canvas Caravan
Transcript
- 0:05Hey, greetings and welcome to the integrate this
- 0:07ed tech podcast, as always. I'm joined by David
- 0:11Berner. My name is Jeremy Micla and we're here
- 0:14today. We're sharing our reflections on an event
- 0:20that David and I both attended yesterday, which
- 0:23was Wednesday, April 23rd at the Union Depot
- 0:28building in downtown St. Paul that was put on
- 0:32by Instructure. Some of you might know Instructure.
- 0:36They are the company behind The LMS Canvas, they
- 0:40also are behind the Learn platform, which I know
- 0:43we've discussed on this show a few different
- 0:46times. And they put out a great event focusing
- 0:49on AI literacy, AI guidance, and how that's playing
- 0:54out in schools across the country, but more with
- 0:58a Minnesota sort of focus. We had some great
- 1:01speakers including Amanda Bickerstaff who is
- 1:05the developer of AI for Education with her website
- 1:09and the content that she puts on there. I know
- 1:12I've definitely shared out her prompt library
- 1:16that she has on her website which is absolutely
- 1:19fantastic if you're looking for templates and
- 1:21ideas for how to create prompts to get the best
- 1:25results possible. But then we were also joined
- 1:28by the educational technology team from Bloomington
- 1:32Public Schools here in Minnesota who shared lots
- 1:35of great stuff about the work that they're doing
- 1:39there to develop. policy, well not so much policy,
- 1:44I guess guidance, right, that is really focusing
- 1:48on students and teachers and buildings and districts
- 1:52and even the community and how they're trying
- 1:55to tie all of those things together to create
- 1:58a learning environment that is going to include
- 2:02the best that AI has to offer, as well as making
- 2:06it a positive experience for instruction and
- 2:09for learning. So yeah again a huge shout out
- 2:13to Instructure for hosting that event. Not only
- 2:16did we see and meet some great people, they also
- 2:20put on some pretty great food spreads that they
- 2:24laid out for a student didn't they David? Yeah
- 2:26it was pretty crazy because the whole event was
- 2:29free and I just thought Instructure did a really
- 2:32nice job of like they really got the message
- 2:35across. I feel like that they just wanted people
- 2:37to be there for the event and to take in what
- 2:40they were providing, not just food, but really
- 2:42great ideas. I actually have to give a special
- 2:45shout out to Amanda Bickerstaff because just
- 2:49by chance, I guess, we ended up talking. We had
- 2:52like a 30 minute meeting and she mentioned the
- 2:56event to me, which was great because I had not
- 2:58really heard about it. And I was like, Wait a
- 3:02second, this is free. So we can go to this for
- 3:05free and it's in St. Paul. So basically I checked
- 3:09to see if I could make the two and a half hour
- 3:11trek up to St. Paul from Marshall and then I
- 3:15was like, Jeremy, you got to meet me there. So
- 3:17we ended up going for free, got some really great
- 3:20ideas from it. Instructure did a really nice
- 3:23job of putting on. I would say a variety of sessions
- 3:26that, you know, starting with Amanda and that
- 3:28was the longest session. And I mean, I don't
- 3:30know about you, but it felt like it was like
- 3:3310 minutes. It was like just went by really fast
- 3:35and it was super good. And if you're not following
- 3:39Amanda or AI and education on LinkedIn, I would
- 3:43definitely recommend doing that so you can see
- 3:45some of the work that they're doing. They've
- 3:47worked with a lot of schools and that was really
- 3:49the premier piece of the event as the keynote.
- 3:54And then there was a number of other folks. I
- 3:56think Jeremy already mentioned like Bloomington
- 3:58schools and that's doing some really good work
- 4:00with AI guidance. And yeah, so. Yeah, we'll be
- 4:05sure to add some of those links that we've already
- 4:07mentioned and maybe a couple of more into the
- 4:10show notes after the episode is over. But yeah,
- 4:13no, I really thought that that team did a great
- 4:15job and it was really nice to meet some of those
- 4:18people. I've been in on a couple of webinars
- 4:20from a couple of people that had presented. I
- 4:23know they've been featured by Common Sense, the
- 4:26Common Sense media. platform. So, you know, definitely,
- 4:32they're coming from, I think, a great area of
- 4:34expertise. And, you know, but yet at the same
- 4:36time, they realize that they're still in the
- 4:39trenches and doing all of the hard work. And
- 4:41what is really neat is that everyone that was
- 4:45there was just so willing to share everything
- 4:47that they knew and the directions that they were
- 4:48heading. And, you know, being facilitated by
- 4:52Instructure, you know, an EdTech vendor, right?
- 4:57a company that is trying to sell their product
- 5:00and make money, it didn't feel, I didn't feel
- 5:03like much of the day at all was a sales pitch,
- 5:06right? It was more, I think, about they're trying
- 5:09to do what's best for education and for educators.
- 5:12And, you know, again, I, you know, to Kirk and
- 5:15to Ryan, who put it on from Instructure, just
- 5:19again, our huge thanks. but I think David we
- 5:23kind of want to get into what were some of the
- 5:25the key takeaways that you know the memorable
- 5:27moments the top five right that we had and so
- 5:31I'm going to start here you know and again these
- 5:36aren't really in any particular order what we
- 5:38thought were most important but we've just thought
- 5:40that these were things that we wanted to make
- 5:42sure that we share out to an audience as well
- 5:45as things that maybe you're considering as you
- 5:48work towards How are you going to implement AI
- 5:51literacy and what sort of policies or better
- 5:55word is guidance? I gotta kind of shift and pivot
- 5:57my vocabulary with that because policy sometimes
- 6:02comes with the consequences part, but we want
- 6:04to focus on those positive directions that we
- 6:06want teachers to go, which is the guidance part.
- 6:08But one of the first ones that stuck out to me,
- 6:12David, was this idea of AI literacy as being
- 6:18an essential skill for students beyond the K
- 6:23-12 classroom space, that this is a college and
- 6:26career skill that is being looked for by employers
- 6:31across the country. I know I read an article
- 6:34probably about a month ago that I found it was
- 6:38from LinkedIn. And based upon LinkedIn's own
- 6:42internal data of key things that employers are
- 6:46looking for in 2024 and 2025, the number one
- 6:50skill that they want for future employees is
- 6:53AI literacy. So, I mean, we can see that this
- 6:56is a direction that things are going. That AI
- 7:00literacy by the next five years is, or, you know,
- 7:05that AI The AI is really changing that landscape
- 7:08of jobs is really what I'm trying to say. That
- 7:11in the next five years that we are projecting
- 7:14that there's going to be about 170 million new
- 7:18jobs that are going to come about because of
- 7:21AI. But at the same time with that growth, there's
- 7:26going to be a little bit of retraction in some
- 7:28areas and they're projecting that about 92 million
- 7:31jobs globally are going to be displaced. is gonna
- 7:36be a huge net gain of opportunities for a lot
- 7:38of people, as long as those people have those
- 7:41skills. You know, it is definitely one of those
- 7:45things that we can't shy away from, we can't
- 7:49bury our heads in the sand and definitely pretend
- 7:51that it doesn't exist, you know? Yeah, yeah,
- 7:57and I would say that there, I think Amanda did
- 8:01a nice job too about like, how people used to
- 8:05put on their resume that it was you know you
- 8:08when you listen on your resume that you were
- 8:10you know you're proficient in excel microsoft
- 8:13excel that was like whoa you know that's really
- 8:15impressive but now the new thing is it's it's
- 8:20taking that out and it's like ai literacy right
- 8:22is what everybody is looking for um and i think
- 8:25that that's what i think a lot of the conversations
- 8:28are going to center around with I know you and
- 8:30I work with a lot of different schools and it's
- 8:32like that's what really we should be telling
- 8:35them to focus on as a foundational concept, right?
- 8:38Right. And have that plan. How are you going
- 8:42to make student and teacher, you know, and administrator,
- 8:47AI literacy a key component of what your goals
- 8:51are for the 25, 26 school year coming up? Yep.
- 8:56Yeah, exactly. And that kind of so that all leads
- 8:58into my my first takeaway. So takeaway number
- 9:01two from Jeremy and I from the event is that
- 9:05the AI is now a everything is going to be like
- 9:10life lifelong learning, right? It's not just
- 9:13like you learn something in high school or you
- 9:16learn something in college and you move on. It's
- 9:19like everything is going to it's going to be
- 9:21a part of every piece of your life from your
- 9:25school career to your actual work career, and
- 9:29how AI literacy is going to be involved in all
- 9:33of that and is the foundational concept. One
- 9:37thing that I really took away, we talked about
- 9:39this, was that if you're a school district and
- 9:44your thought is to, you know, not start the process
- 9:50of talking about AI literacy or if you're just
- 9:52ignoring it altogether, you're actually doing
- 9:54your students a disservice because the student
- 9:56access to that is going to help them begin their
- 10:00learning process. When we talk about that lifelong
- 10:02learning, you want to get them started on that
- 10:06so that they're not operating from behind. One
- 10:12of the things that blew my mind yesterday and
- 10:15really hit home was that Even the districts that
- 10:18are trying to meet AI head on, right? We have
- 10:21districts that have been very proactive in AI
- 10:24and what they're trying to do with it, or just
- 10:26even just trying to understand it, right? Wrap
- 10:28their heads around it. One of the things that
- 10:33we almost have to pull back and do is start to
- 10:35talk about AI literacy as a foundation because
- 10:39there was a graphic yesterday that stood out
- 10:43and we talked about where You have a variety
- 10:46of school districts. There's like four approaches
- 10:49to AI, right? One of them is that you're just
- 10:53ignoring it altogether. One of them is that you're
- 10:57trying to learn about it or no, I'm sorry. Number
- 11:01two was you're waiting, right? You're like waiting
- 11:03to see kind of where it goes. You're not opposed
- 11:07to it, but you're just trying to navigate like,
- 11:10which makes sense. I mean, I totally understand
- 11:12that. there's a lot of uncertainty around it.
- 11:15I think that's getting better. And then number
- 11:18three is like, okay, you've had some training,
- 11:20but everyone's just kind of on their own. This
- 11:23teacher is using that tool and this school is
- 11:26using that tool or we have one that's piloting
- 11:29and one that's not. And I think the fourth piece
- 11:34of that, the approach, which is the most important
- 11:37is the organizational approach. And so there's
- 11:40some questions that districts should be asking
- 11:43about AI literacy and how that is going to be,
- 11:47you know, defining what that means. And not only
- 11:51what that means for your students, but what does
- 11:52that mean for your AI team at your school? What
- 11:55does that mean for your administrative team at
- 11:58your school, the staff and the students, right?
- 12:01The whole picture is how I would say. And Amanda
- 12:05did a great job of laying out those four different
- 12:09approaches and talking about how the first three
- 12:13that I just mentioned, that's kind of where everybody
- 12:16is. And we really need them to get to the fourth.
- 12:20And then I think we'll see a lot of things around
- 12:22AI literacy and everything will kind of start
- 12:26to fall in place a little bit better. But yeah,
- 12:28that's my way to rip off of yours. No, and definitely,
- 12:33and I think that leads almost into the next key
- 12:36takeaway that I really had here too, was about
- 12:40the potential here of AI. And I think you and
- 12:43I obviously agree that its potential to deeply
- 12:47transform education is just so immense. And I
- 12:52hate to make that sound like it's probably stated
- 12:56way too much, but that potential is just so great.
- 13:01And if you want to think about it, and I'm stealing
- 13:04a little bit from Amanda's presentation, also
- 13:07talking about some of the impacts that we can
- 13:10see almost right now. that AI can have in your
- 13:16education, in your instruction, is facilitating
- 13:20some of that personalized learning. Right? Finding
- 13:23ways to connect the content that you already
- 13:26have to a greater diversity of students. And
- 13:30there's many different ways to do that through
- 13:32your lesson plans, through asking it to create
- 13:36real -world examples, maybe of math problems
- 13:39that pertain to the interest areas of different
- 13:42schools. You know, looking at how it can be used
- 13:46to improve some of your instructional practices.
- 13:50You know, like, hey, give it the lesson. that
- 13:52you, the presentation that you've given the last
- 13:55five years, right? And say, let's put a modern
- 13:58fresh spin and take away on this. is one thing,
- 14:03the abilities that it's having, and she showed
- 14:06some of the timelines of the progression of AI
- 14:08in different areas. And one of them that I found
- 14:11kind of fascinating was the ability to translate.
- 14:15And we can see that the ability of AI to start
- 14:19translating from English to other languages or
- 14:21other languages to English or whatever, it is
- 14:24rising up to the point where it is apt or surpassing.
- 14:29what human potential ability is currently, right?
- 14:33And all of this has happened in just this short
- 14:36period of time, even since generative AI in the,
- 14:40you know, which has been around for probably
- 14:4110 ish years or so, but not really accessible
- 14:45by people till chat GPT comes out with that 3
- 14:48.5 model, which was what November of 2022. Yeah
- 14:53so i mean we're only talking about two two and
- 14:56a half years. Yeah yeah yeah so i mean it's just
- 15:02it's just been so great but there's also i think
- 15:05undeveloped potential that is just right out
- 15:08there just on the horizon that we're going to
- 15:11get to it and then Amanda called it kind of you
- 15:14know what to look for in the in the medium term
- 15:16right not. too far out. She wasn't willing to
- 15:20prognosticate beyond kind of that five -year
- 15:23outlook, but I mean it is going to have great
- 15:26transformations in areas of teachers are going
- 15:29to be able to make their own customized curriculum.
- 15:32based upon their standards, their district guidance,
- 15:38as well as the needs of themselves and their
- 15:41students. So just a great potential there. The
- 15:45ability to tap into a 24 -7 online support network.
- 15:50And I know we're starting to see some of that
- 15:52stuff, like I think Khan Academy that has Khanmigo
- 15:55just is fantastic, right? And some of that stuff
- 15:59that they have out there about that. You know,
- 16:03how it could lead to maybe even the development
- 16:05of some new assessment models just is just great.
- 16:08But also at the same time, I think we also still
- 16:11need to keep reminding people of some of the
- 16:13limitations of AI and that aren't going away
- 16:16anytime soon. You know, the limited knowledge
- 16:20basis that it is trained on sometimes, you know,
- 16:24which could be. potentially biased is something
- 16:26we need to consider as well as, you know, the
- 16:29propensity of it, perhaps to hallucinate. And
- 16:32I know those are definitely warning things that
- 16:34you and I have talked about in the past, too.
- 16:39Yeah, yeah, exactly. And one of the things, too,
- 16:43that we talked about was just the we we have
- 16:47Matt Miller. This is kind of a little bit of
- 16:49you wanted me to show the screen here now. I
- 16:51see you've got it loaded there. Yep. Yeah. So.
- 16:54You can throw Matt up on the screen there. And
- 16:58so one of the things we have that's really exciting
- 17:01is Matt Miller is actually going to be keynoting
- 17:05at our AI symposium that we have coming up on
- 17:07May 16th. And he talks a lot about in his AI
- 17:13for Educators book. And we talked a bit about
- 17:16this with him on our upcoming podcast release
- 17:19on May 1st. So next week here, we talk about
- 17:24he talks about tomorrow glasses, right? Like
- 17:27preparing your students for what is to come,
- 17:30rather than like, we want to be able to see what's
- 17:35coming forward, get them prepared for that. And
- 17:38I think that the AI literacy goes hand in hand
- 17:41with that. But yeah, we have a great conversation
- 17:45with him that's coming out next week. And so
- 17:49you won't want to miss that when we release that.
- 17:52And then the event itself actually is in our
- 17:57SWWC. We have the event up. We're very excited
- 18:00to have Matt join us and we'll have a bunch of
- 18:03other breakout sessions as well that will be
- 18:06centered around AI guidance and literacy and
- 18:09some tools, which I'm also excited that Jeremy's
- 18:12going to be doing a tool with some other members
- 18:14on our team, Kyle and Megan. So very exciting
- 18:17stuff. We'll have a lot of great things coming,
- 18:19Matt, your way with that. But yeah, so to get
- 18:24into the next takeaway I have, it's a bit about
- 18:30being proactive. So districts really should start
- 18:35to look at what they're doing with AI literacy.
- 18:38And I think that we keep talking about the foundation
- 18:41and what that means is to define what AI literacy
- 18:44means for all those groups that are all the stakeholders
- 18:47that are in your school district. Um, and so
- 18:51as a singular school district, you, you know,
- 18:55you want to start the process of defining AI
- 18:58literacy. And also I, I'm a big advocate for
- 19:03this and it's, it's creating a cross functional
- 19:07team. It's having people involved in your team
- 19:10that is, you know, consistently setting up a
- 19:14meeting to be talking about AI. and its impact
- 19:17on all these groups. So defining what AI literacy
- 19:21means for your school, having a cross -functional
- 19:24team. And Amanda pointed out yesterday, I think
- 19:27this is a really, really great point, is that
- 19:29that doesn't mean like having people on your
- 19:32team that just like AI, right? Or having people
- 19:35on your team that are just good at AI. It's having
- 19:39people on your team that have a variety of perspectives
- 19:42that are able to offer something to that group
- 19:48that. Really takes in the whole of the school
- 19:50district to individual school district should
- 19:53have this and you should include people who hate
- 19:56AI like it's funny to say but it honestly needs
- 19:59to have people on there that don't like it that
- 20:02much and you know having having that team. Is
- 20:08going to be the start of the literacy foundation
- 20:12because what. Amanda talked about yesterday and
- 20:15I think is a great point as well, is those people
- 20:18on your team, whether they hate AI or not, you
- 20:21want that cross -functional team to be the first
- 20:24ones that are AI literate, right? They understand
- 20:29AI literacy and you're setting those definitions
- 20:34and what that means and then working off of that.
- 20:37And then that will trickle down to the rest of
- 20:39the staff and the students. Right. And then from
- 20:44there, it's kind of like you you've got that
- 20:47that base and then it's gathering consistent
- 20:50evidence once you've started to implement things
- 20:54with your school district. And then from there,
- 20:57right, developing guidelines. And I've seen we've
- 20:59seen a number of guidelines in presented in different
- 21:02ways. I think Jeremy is like we, you know, we
- 21:06obviously are working off of like M .D .E. M
- 21:09.D .E. has their guidelines. I know with our
- 21:13region, so the Southwest, West Central region,
- 21:16we've had a number of tech integrationists in
- 21:19our area and our own team working together to
- 21:22kind of break down the MDE guidelines and try
- 21:26to determine, okay, these five areas, what does
- 21:29that mean? And then what does that look like
- 21:31in template form? So districts can start to digest
- 21:34that and actually come up with a plan. And the
- 21:38team that we've worked with have done a really
- 21:40great job on that. But then, you know, like yesterday
- 21:43we saw where you have like Bloomington, right?
- 21:47They did a really great job with, I think, the
- 21:50guidelines around like what tools to use and
- 21:54when, when do they make sense for students when,
- 21:57you know, those type of things that I don't,
- 22:00I don't think I could be wrong, but I don't think
- 22:02I've heard MBE mentioned like the guidelines
- 22:05really when they were up there, but they did
- 22:07a really nice job of laying out like their guidelines
- 22:10from right? Thinking about AI literacy, having
- 22:14their team, gathering evidence from the staff
- 22:18and students, and then developing guidelines
- 22:20around usage, right? So I think that all of that
- 22:25is extremely important. And I really would like
- 22:28to see more and more districts start to tackle
- 22:31this. And I think you and I, you know, having
- 22:34similar roles, we're here to support our districts
- 22:37to do that. So Yeah, and I'd say I'd see I see
- 22:42much of the same stuff with schools that are
- 22:44around that I work with as well. You know, like
- 22:46they need a little bit of support in that area,
- 22:50which you know, I think. going to events like
- 22:53this one. You know, they're able to hear from
- 22:57some different perspectives of groups that are
- 23:00out there and they're trying to do this. But
- 23:01the key thing is you can't just let it lie. You
- 23:05have to pick it up and you have to run with it.
- 23:07And I think it kind of, you know, just like you
- 23:09said, put the team together, right? And having
- 23:13that team together, even with skeptics, even,
- 23:16you know, consider bringing in parents or community
- 23:19members into that mix as well. And even students,
- 23:23right? It's going to help create, I think the
- 23:25type of, you know, you talked about also a little
- 23:28bit earlier, that organizational, you know, stage
- 23:33that you want to get to. with AI literacy and
- 23:36I think that's definitely on that roadmap to
- 23:39be able to get there and I think one other thing
- 23:41that you just mentioned here too that really
- 23:43stuck out to me as I think something that gets
- 23:47forgotten but is extremely important is the evaluation
- 23:50piece. As things progress and as things change,
- 23:56are you looking at how your guidance that you're
- 23:59providing in your district is working or what
- 24:03policies and things you suggest for your teachers
- 24:06to implement as it relates to AI. If you're not
- 24:09going back and changing those things, using feedback,
- 24:13using, you know, experiences that you have gone
- 24:16through to try to continuously improve, I think
- 24:20then, you know, we're all wasting our time. If
- 24:22it's going to be a one and done, this is our
- 24:25policy set in stone and it can never bend, it
- 24:28can never break, you know. It's not going to
- 24:31be a model for success. Right and it seems to
- 24:34me that all of this kind of centers around communication
- 24:37like if you have open communication lines through
- 24:40through all these different things that we're
- 24:42talking about like you know with the with the
- 24:44AI literacy and defining that as a school district
- 24:46and your team you know establishing your team
- 24:49talking constantly to teachers and to students
- 24:52having open lines of communication are gonna
- 24:55actually allow you this to be much easier of
- 24:58a process and like you said. keeping them open
- 25:01because as we know, changes have happened fast
- 25:04and they'll continue to happen too. So exactly
- 25:08and you know how far are we willing to predict?
- 25:10So you have to kind of have that flexibility,
- 25:13that agility even you know. I think we're kind
- 25:17of setting up here for the the last takeaway
- 25:19here that we have kind of I think ties into some
- 25:23of your team building that you talked about too
- 25:25and that is your What we're really, what the
- 25:29goal should be is not to create a building full
- 25:32of experts when it comes to AI. But what we want
- 25:36to do is we want to be able to build the capacity
- 25:38within all of the people in our districts to
- 25:43be able to approach AI with that lens that it
- 25:48can be an effective educational tool, right?
- 25:51And it's a tool. We want to be able to describe
- 25:55when are the right times to use that tool and
- 25:57when are the best times to put that tool back
- 26:00on the shelf. And I think by building that capacity
- 26:03within the teams that you work with, whether
- 26:06it's a grade level team, a department team, a
- 26:11content team, whatever it happens to be with
- 26:14whatever your role is, is I think extremely important.
- 26:17um and it's i tell you even with the changes
- 26:21it's i sometimes feel overwhelmed and i spend
- 26:24a lot of my day looking at different ai related
- 26:27things but something new catches me off guard
- 26:30and a person from you know that i would never
- 26:34expect is talking to me about some ai tool and
- 26:36i'm like i've never heard of that and you know
- 26:38like and i'm thinking like you spend your time
- 26:40in a classroom full of fifth graders all day
- 26:43long and when do you have time to learn about
- 26:45this tool that I've never heard of like you're
- 26:47catching me off guard and I just that's the moments
- 26:49that I stop and remind myself I'm not an expert
- 26:52on it all yeah and I don't think I ever will
- 26:55be but you know I can continue to build capacity
- 26:59to be able to you know explore even more. Right.
- 27:04And I think it's great that you say that because
- 27:07what we heard Amanda say yesterday is like, this
- 27:10is a really interesting moment in time because
- 27:12we all are learning this together. So we're all
- 27:15trying to figure it out. And like, sure, like
- 27:18someone may have heard of something that you
- 27:19had not, or, you know, like an idea, but it's
- 27:22like, you know, okay. So take that idea, right.
- 27:26And then like you said, build capacity. So you're
- 27:29learning from somebody they're learning from
- 27:31you and It's actually really nice. I would say
- 27:35what I've seen online and just talking with people
- 27:39is that the community around this is really great.
- 27:43I would say about sharing things out, being willing
- 27:47to help others to increase their own capacity.
- 27:52Right. And like you and I have shared things
- 27:54like there's things you don't haven't heard of
- 27:56that I've shared, things I've never heard of
- 27:58that you've shared. And it's like, man, we're
- 28:00all just trying to, you know, stay up on it.
- 28:04And it's not like we're trying to get the scoop
- 28:05on one another. You know, like, hey, I heard
- 28:07about this first. You know, let me show you.
- 28:10It's really about, hey, this is a great thing.
- 28:13I'm going to share it out there because someone
- 28:14else might have another use for it. Someone else
- 28:16might take and run with it much further than
- 28:18I ever could because my capacity in that area
- 28:21might be at its limit, but someone else is just
- 28:24expanding. Yeah, yeah, no, that was that was
- 28:27really kind of a neat. I think a thing that I
- 28:31gleaned out of it yesterday, so. Yeah. Well,
- 28:36good, you know it was it was a great event, you
- 28:40know, and we're excited to be able to implement
- 28:43some of the things in. the different parts of
- 28:48our jobs that we have coming up. I know with
- 28:50you and you've got your AI symposium coming up
- 28:53next month. I know you've got some other things
- 28:56that are on your burner. Not to be funny, but
- 29:03that you've got coming up where you're going
- 29:06to be doing a lot of work with Cozen. Working
- 29:10to help. districts implement AI guidance on their
- 29:14teams. And so I think, you know, and I've got
- 29:18some presentations that are coming up to districts
- 29:21around me as well, as well as a couple of conferences
- 29:24that are going to be happening here in June or
- 29:27in August that I'll be a part of. But being able
- 29:31to take some of these things that we've learned
- 29:33here today, these takeaways and implement them
- 29:35into future projects that we have, I think is
- 29:38going to be huge. Yep. Yeah. And I would just
- 29:41say, you know, leave the door open to, to people
- 29:44sharing stuff and, and share with others. Um,
- 29:47I think it's really, it's really good. That's,
- 29:49I think what has been really nice about what
- 29:52we do, cause we're two totally different organizations,
- 29:55but you know, and we provide the same services
- 29:57in different areas, but you know, we are at each
- 30:00other's conferences and different things and
- 30:03it's all just, uh, continuous learning. So that's
- 30:06right. So, all right. All right. Well, thank
- 30:11you for joining us here for this edition of the
- 30:14Integrate This EdTech podcast. And as David pointed
- 30:18out earlier today, make sure that you're tuning
- 30:20in next time. If you're still listening to us
- 30:23now, that's great. But next time, Matt Miller,
- 30:27we've had a great conversation with him. And
- 30:31I know there's going to be a lot of great stuff
- 30:34that you can use to build your own capacity and
- 30:36take away from it. Great. Until next time, we'll
- 30:40see you. Thanks everybody.
