    The Story Behind the Bilingual Homework Hotline

    In this episode of the Deep Dive Podcast by EnablingLearning.com, we explore the remarkable journey of the Bilingual Homework Hotline. From a grassroots pandemic response to a pioneering AI-powered support system for emergent bilingual learners. Born from collaboration between Denton ISD, the University of North Texas, and Texas Woman’s University, the hotline began as a virtual tutoring effort during COVID-19 and grew into a model of educational innovation. Learn how tutors, district staff, and AI tools like Verónica and the Homework Helper are working together to support K–12 students while training the next generation of teachers. At its heart, this story is about connection, care, and what’s possible when technology enhances (not replaces) human relationships in education.

    AI for Parents

    In this episode of the Deep Dive Podcast by EnablingLearning.com, we tackle one of the biggest concerns for families today: how to support your child in a world where AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini are reshaping education. Drawing from research and real-life examples, we explore why blocking AI isn’t the answer, and how shifting from “policing” to “coaching” can transform your child’s learning. Learn about custom GPTs, practical tips from Google’s AI Playbook for Parents, and how to use these tools to spark connection rather than confusion. It’s not about reinventing parenting; it’s about getting involved. Read the blog post here: Artificial Intelligence for Parents

    How We’re Using AI to Redefine Teacher Preparation

    In this episode, we dive into how artificial intelligence is not just reshaping the future of education; it’s transforming how we prepare teachers today. We share the real-world challenges faced by pre-service teachers, especially in bilingual and ESL contexts, and how AI tools are helping address them. Drawing from years of collaboration with universities and school districts, we explain why generic preparation isn’t enough, highlighting the need for tools that mirror real classroom demands, like scaffolding content for diverse learners, supporting second language acquisition, and adapting to multiple certification requirements across the U.S. This conversation includes insights on the use of AI tutors (like Verónica), the creation of dynamic practice exams, and how scenario-based learning powered by AI is already making a difference in teacher prep programs. Whether you’re a faculty member, instructional designer, or future educator, this episode explores how thoughtfully designed AI support can bridge the gap between theory and practice.

    STEM, Scaffolding, and the Future of Teaching & Learning

    In this episode of the Enabling Learning Podcast, we dive into the exciting world of AI and vibe coding—a movement that’s making it easier than ever for educators to build tools for their classrooms, even without a traditional coding background. Inspired by the blog post “STEM, Scaffolding, and the Future of Teaching & Learning”, this conversation explores how AI tools like Claude and coding platforms like Replit are transforming what it means to be a tech-empowered teacher. We highlight how multilingual educators, in particular, can use these tools to design inclusive, culturally responsive resources and how AI can act as a “more knowledgeable other,” providing the scaffolding teachers need to innovate and lead.
