Description

Banning ChatGPT in schools is like banning pencils because kids might doodle. In this episode, host Emily Laird takes a flamethrower to the myth that AI’s not in your classroom, because it is, and your students are already using it. Also… you know that. Right? Emily breaks down what real AI literacy looks like, why AI detectors are academic snake oil, and how school districts keep buying shiny tools with no clue what they’re for. There’s a better way, and it starts with ditching denial, hiring help, and actually reading the damn policy toolkit. Spoiler: duct tape and vibes won’t cut it anymore.
