Is AI good or bad? Well now that's just far too simplistic a question. Jason Buccheri, one of Canada's top education strategists and the host of the podcast, Education Matters. He's also our newest Pencil Buster, so let's be sure to give him a hearty, enthusiastic, American welcome! In his work, Jason strives to help educators connect and re-connect with what makes teaching rewarding. Specifically, he helps educators utilize tools that cut through the noise and slog of aspect of the job so that educators can focus on what matters most: forming strong relationships with their students. Some of those tools utilize AI. At the same time, AI has proven a dangerous, anti-education tool in some hands. So Jason urges us: study the effects before making a decision. Study the media ecology of how it all interacts, and then decide if AI tools are right for you and your classroom.
