This was a truly awesome podcast. I am a veteran STEM high school teacher (since 1981) and I am now faced with teaching computer literacy to middle school students. I was wondering where to begin. This podcast talking about the potentials of AI maybe my starting point.
How I can integrate AI with classroom learning, as well as my administration and prep work needs more work. Where do I start.
