Air GPT
by BRN [BAM Radio Network]
AIR | GPT is a roundtable discussion with the creators of the leading education technology frameworks, including SAMR, TPACK, Triple E, SETI, and GenAI-U. Once a month, they connect to exchange insights and share what they’ve learned about the most significant Gen AI-in-education developments of the month. The conversations are unscripted, unmoderated, and refreshingly candid. The discussions take place in virtual airport lounges, as finding a time and place for this globetrotting cohort to meet is the podcast’s biggest challenge. Join us for a rare fly-on-the-wall experience with Dr. Ruben Puentedura, Dr. Liz Kolb, Dr. Punya Mishra, Dr. Helen Crompton, and Dr. Caroline Fell-Kurban for a uniquely synergistic perspective on Gen AI in education.
