AI in the classroom doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can be a doorway to new kinds of learning. In this episode, we chat with Monica Burns, author of EdTech Essentials, 12 Strategies for Every Classroom in the Age of AI about ways AI can help students create, explore, and think in fresh ways. From multimodal projects to AI-guided virtual field trips, we cover ideas that let students experiment and stay in control of their own learning.

We also talk about how assessment changes when AI enters the classroom. It’s no longer just about the final product—we need to pay attention to the process, the choices students make, and how their thinking develops. Join us to learn how AI can work alongside students, sparking curiosity and original thinking.
