We see it as a powerful opportunity to teach digital literacy, model ethical use, and integrate AI systems to save time, personalize instruction, and focus more on what matters most—student growth and preparation for the real world. The real question isn’t if we should use AI in schools—it’s how, when, and why. These decisions may be among the most important ones educators will make.

    Hey Mr Hanson!

    Love the podcast. I’d love to know – What podcasts do YOU listen to on AI? I find that staying in the know is far more than a full-time job. My colleagues and I spend so many hours outside of work keeping up, yet there’s always more we miss.
