How generative AI is shaping the future of education- Navigating Disruption

In the first episode of the Winter 2023 Listen & Learn series, hosts Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett explore the theme of disruption in education, drawing from an interview clip with futurist Bryan Alexander. The clip, recorded in spring 2021, focuses on the impact of generative AI on the future of learning and the potential consequences for educators. As they dissect the interview, Cyndi shares a personal journey, initially fearing self-driving cars but ultimately embracing new technology, emphasizing the importance of gradually embracing change. The hosts offer a tip for educators: start small. Encouraging educators to experiment with generative AI in manageable ways, such as creating new prompts or course titles, they highlight the significance of reducing ambiguity and developing familiarity with the technology. The episode also introduces a special giveaway for listeners, involving uncovering a code word across all the Listen & Learn series episodes during winter 2023 to win a prize.  Eager to bring more creativity into your school district?
