    AI in Education Playbook

    Three years after his first LinkedUp appearance, what has actually changed about AI in education? Dr. Wednaud Ronelus, Chief Metaverse Scientist at Alchemist Club Studios and AI Ambassador for the AFT/UFT, rejoins Jerri and Jamie to explore the “cognitive offload crisis,” why keeping students away from AI can do more harm than good, and how educators can redesign curriculum so AI becomes a scaffold instead of a shortcut. Drawing on examples from elementary electromagnetism lessons to a district-wide AI ambassador program in the Bronx, Dr. Ronelus gets practical about responsible AI use. He also examines equity, New York City’s specialized high school admissions crisis, and what it will take for teachers to step confidently into an AI-driven world. --- ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Wednaud J. Ronelus is the founder and CEO of Alchemist Club Studios and an AI Ambassador for the AFT/UFT. As a STEM learning scientist, he explores how emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and holographic experiences, can help educators create more immersive and meaningful learning environments. --- SUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Music⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Overcast⁠⁠⁠ FOLLOW US: ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠ POWERED BY CLASSLINK: ClassLink provides one-click single sign-on into web and Windows applications, and instant access to files at school and in the cloud.

    Unclench Your Fist

    What happens when we stop gripping so tightly to control, perfection, old expectations, and the belief that leaders should have every answer? Jerri and Jamie sit down with educator, leader, and author Glenn Robbins to explore the central idea behind his new book, Unclench Your Fist. Drawing on stories from history and his own leadership journey, Glenn shares practical lessons about trust, intention, and knowing when to let go. The conversation invites leaders, educators, and anyone who supports others to consider a deceptively simple question: What are you holding onto that may be holding you back? Sometimes leadership doesn’t call for a tighter grip. It asks us to open our hands, make room for others, and release some of the pressure we put on ourselves. --- ABOUT OUR GUEST Glenn Robbins is the proud Superintendent of the Brigantine Public School District in Brigantine, New Jersey. He has served as a public school superintendent in New Jersey since 2016. Prior to becoming a superintendent, he was a middle school principal, a high school assistant principal, a high school social studies teacher, and a high school varsity coach. He is also the best selling author of “Calm In The Chaos: Ancient Stoic Wisdom for Successful School Leadership”, “I Won’t Back Down: How Educators Can Turn Rejection Into Redirection”, and “Unclench Your Fist: The Leader’s Guide To Making The Hard Call (And Surviving It). --- SUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Music⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Overcast⁠⁠⁠ FOLLOW US: ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠ POWERED BY CLASSLINK: ClassLink provides one-click single sign-on into web and Windows applications, and instant access to files at school and in the cloud.

    What if your story could reach far beyond your classroom?
