AI is here to stay. So, what’s next? Matt Miller — educator and author of Ditch That Textbook and AI for Educators — joins us to explore how AI is reshaping teaching and learning right here, right now.
Fresh from his return to the classroom, Matt shares first-hand insights into how AI is transforming education in real time. He highlights the practical ways these tools can lighten the load for teachers and spark fresh ideas for lesson planning.
But more than that, he reminds us that no matter how powerful AI becomes, human connection, creativity, and intelligence must remain at the heart of education. More than using any one tool, students must be able to adapt, analyze, and innovate – all skills that put their human intelligence to work.
