The AI Educator

from LinkedUp: Breaking Boundaries in Education · host Jamie Saponaro

AI in education is changing faster than most schools can keep up. So what actually deserves educators’ attention right now? This week, we're welcoming Dan Fitzpatrick, The AI Educator, for a practical look at where AI is headed and what it means for teaching, learning, and leadership. Fresh from hosting the Back to School AI Summit, editing the latest edition of "The Educators’ AI Guide," and speaking with leaders shaping the technology, Dan shares what he is seeing from the front row. Together, they explore what is changing faster than many realize, how schools can prepare students for an unpredictable future, and why human judgment and connection must remain at the center. Consider this your AI catch-up session: clear, grounded, and focused on what educators need to know now. --- ABOUT OUR GUEST Dan Fitzpatrick, known as The AI Educator, is an educator, author, speaker, and strategist who helps schools navigate AI with clarity and confidence.
