Episode 30 - Google's Former Chief: The 7 Skills You'll Actually Need to Succeed in the AI Era - Jaime Casap

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe Sebestyen sits down with Jaime Casap, Google's former Chief Education Evangelist, to explain why a kid from Hell's Kitchen raised on welfare ended up putting technology into the hands of 130 million students and teachers worldwide — and why most schools have wasted that technology. Jaime shares the framework that made him one of the most quoted voices in education: stop asking kids what they want to be when they grow up, and start asking what problem they want to solve.Dr. Joe Sebestyen and Jaime Casap discuss what schools, parents, and educators are getting wrong right now, including why "learning loss" after the pandemic was the wrong conversation, why project-based learning has been hijacked into busy work, how Chromebooks and AI tools are being used to run the same broken model with shinier technology, and the seven skills Jamie believes every student needs for the future. Jamie also explains why AI taking white-collar jobs is actually good news for education, why your kid doesn't need to go to Harvard, and the danger of low expectations syndrome — especially when we put it on ourselves.This episode is especially useful for parents trying to think clearly about their kid's path to college and career, K-12 teachers rethinking how technology fits in the classroom, school administrators leading change without chasing trends, and instructional coaches who want a clearer framework for what schools should actually prepare students for. Jamie gives a practical, honest playbook for parents and educators who want to focus on the things that actually matter.🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations on academic strategy, college prep, and the future of student success.📲 Connect with them: jcasap.comInstagram: @jcasapX: @jcasapFacebook: facebook.com/casap📲 Learn more about us: supportedtutoring.com, @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
