Ep. 70: Finally. A useful discussion about AI integration, with Vera Cubero

AI is here to stay. And as educators, we've been told that we must be prepared to embrace it, to teach about it, with it, and around it. But how? In this episode, Brian and Kasey invite Vera Cubero, a GenAI Enthusiast, AI Literacy Trainer, and Content Creator to share her experience, expertise, and wisdom of AI integration. Vera Cubero is also an experienced educator with a wide range of experience in K12 education at the school, district, and state levels.
