Description

In this episode, I explore two powerful signals shaping the future of education and work. First, I look at Simon Fraser University’s bold experiment in co-teaching with an expressive AI persona and reflect on what it means for pedagogy in K-12 classrooms.


Then I turn to a tool many of us have used for years, Microsoft Excel, and share how Copilot integration is transforming it from a static spreadsheet into an intelligent collaborator. Together, these stories show how AI is moving from theory into the familiar tools and spaces of our daily lives.


Thanks for listening everyone!
