Over the past few months, I have had the chance to sit down with some really thoughtful people for conversations about AI in education. These podcasts cover everything from AI literacy and pedagogic judgment to faculty development and the practical realities of using AI responsibly in classrooms. Each one reflects a different angle on the same big question: how do we help educators make sense of AI in ways that actually serve teaching and learning?
Teachers Talk Radio
On Teachers Talk Radio, I joined Dr. Carmen Miles, PFHEA, for the Twilight Show hosted by Timea Kadar to discuss what it really means to develop an AI-literate faculty. Our conversation focused on AI literacy beyond tools, touching on mindset, pedagogic judgement, faculty development, and the practical realities educators face when engaging with AI in higher education.
ExplAInED Podcast
In this episode of the explAInED Podcast, I join hosts Michael Berry and Shaun Langevin to discuss why institutions need to move beyond tool-focused thinking and toward a more AI-friendly mindset. We talk about the BARA Framework (Build, Evaluate, Apply, Reflect, Adapt) as a practical way to integrate generative AI while keeping core cognitive work in students’ hands, along with issues of low AI literacy among faculty, policy-driven bans, and the need to redesign assessment so it values originality of ideas over surface-level language mechanics.
ShiftED Podcast
In this episode, Christ and I discussed why the real challenge with AI in education is not the tools themselves, but our literacy around them. We focused on moving past reactive tool adoption toward shared language, pedagogical judgment, and assessment design that makes student thinking visible while keeping human decision making at the core.
Errol St. Clair Smith Podcast
In this podcast conversation with Errol St. Clair Smith, we talked about Agentic AI and the growing overload schools face as thousands of AI and edtech tools flood into education, and why chasing tools is no longer a sustainable strategy. Our discussion moved toward more foundational questions around judgment, vetting, and institutional responsibility, focusing on the need to slow down, clarify purpose, and ground decisions in pedagogy rather than novelty. We explored how educators and systems can shift attention from volume and hype to coherence, trust, and thoughtful use of AI in real school contexts.
Eduvation Podcast
In this conversation with Hadas, we talked about why AI literacy needs to come before tools and how strong pedagogy helps educators make clearer, more confident decisions about AI use. We focused on what responsible practice looks like in real classrooms, the role of professional judgment, and how educators can approach AI without getting pulled into constant tool chasing.
