  2. Middle School Teacher Uses AI to Save Time and Know Students Better

    3D AGO

    Middle School Teacher Uses AI to Save Time and Know Students Better

    How does a middle school language arts teacher use AI to build better lessons, save time, and actually know her students better? Patty Oshier, a fifth-year educator currently teaching seventh and eighth grade at a charter school, shares exactly what's working in her classroom right now. Key topics covered:Using AI to create lesson materials that meet curriculum standards when textbooks fall shortHow to build AI-resistant assignments using AI itself (and why that's both ironic and necessary)What students are actually doing with AI in middle school: music projects, creative workarounds, VPNs to bypass school blockersWhy adaptive learning platforms like Readworks and Newsela save hours of assessment time while providing better data on student reading levels, comprehension, and strugglesThe critical role of relationship-building in teaching and why students won't learn from teachers they don't likeWhether AI will lead to larger class sizes or more time for human connection in the classroom Bottom line: AI tools are helping this teacher spend less time on admin and grading, more time with her own kids at home, and build stronger relationships with students by understanding their individual needs through data that used to take weeks to gather manually. About Patty Oshier: Middle School Language Arts Teacher at a charter school in Indiana. Fifth year teaching, previously taught fifth and sixth grade at traditional public schools.

  3. How AI Cuts Healthcare Admin Work by 50% (Real Example)

    FEB 8

    How AI Cuts Healthcare Admin Work by 50% (Real Example)

    How do you cut administrative work in half without laying anyone off? Phoenix Paramedic Solutions did it using Claude Teams and custom AI workflows. Jason and Julie break down real implementation: healthcare facility communication failures, AI time tracking that doesn't require spreadsheets, and why Claude corrects your priorities instead of telling you every idea is brilliant like ChatGPT does. Key topics covered:Physical therapy and healthcare facility communication breakdowns: Julie's experience with her mother's rehab facility shows how departments fail to coordinate, welcome calls arrive months late, and AI backend systems (not chatbots) could fix scheduling and patient handoff chaosClaude vs ChatGPT for business accountability: Phoenix employees using Claude get honest feedback like "that's not on your plan this week, why are you working on that?" instead of ChatGPT's sycophantic praiseAI time tracking without spreadsheets: Jason implemented conversational check-ins three times per day using ChatGPT, then migrated to Claude for more professional tone and project oversight capabilities50% admin work reduction at Phoenix: Real numbers on how AI workflows cut administrative lift in half, allowing re-leverage of certified EMTs and paramedics toward billable services instead of layoffsThe $126K unanswered calls problem: 27% of business calls go unanswered, costing companies an average of $126,000 annually. AI phone systems can capture these missed opportunities.AI sales team replacement: One company went from 8 salespeople to zero using AI automation. Jason discusses the ethics and economics of this transition.Re-leveraging employees when AI cuts admin time: Instead of layoffs, how do you redirect employee hours toward income-producing work like patient care while keeping admin costs flat? Bottom line: AI eliminates admin work, but the real business question is whether you lay people off or re-leverage them toward revenue-generating activities.
