    EDT Jake on The Inspired Teacher Podcast

    What happens when two education nerds talk books, buffaloes, and Brisk? In this special episode, I join Mike Brilla on The Inspired Teacher Podcast to discuss the role of AI in classrooms, building a professional learning community, and the adjacent possible. We get candid about cell phones, feedback, tech integration, and remembering our “why” as educators. Tools we mention include MagicSchool, Diffit, Claude, ChatGPT, and Brisk. You’ll laugh, reflect, and leave with ideas you can try tomorrow. #EduDuctTape This interview was originally aired on The Inspired Teacher by Mike Brilla.
