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?
Here is a sample:
Teaching in the Age of AI: Reading, Writing, and What We Are Assessing
I joined the Christian Dominiqur and Marc D Ritter in their podcast for a conversation about why AI in education is first a literacy challenge, and what that reframe changes about how we teach writing, reading, and assessment. We get into what happens to student thinking when the drafting gets outsourced and how to design assessment that actually holds up.
Let’s Talk Libraries
On Let’s Talk Libraries, I joined Denise Williams to talk about why librarians are natural AI literacy leaders, and shared a curated guide of practical AI resources built specifically for them.
Test Community Network
On the Test Community Network with Tim Burnett, I made the case for building your AI pedagogy before chasing tools, and for rethinking assessment toward layered, process-focused approaches that make student thinking visible.
ShiftED Podcast
On ShiftED, Chris and I discussed why the real challenge with AI is our literacy around it, not the tools, and how pedagogical judgment and assessment that surfaces student thinking keep human decision-making at the center.
ExplAInED Podcast
On explAInED with Michael Berry and Shaun Langevin, I made the case for an AI-friendly mindset over tool-chasing, using the BEARA Framework (Build, Evaluate, Apply, Reflect, Adapt) to integrate generative AI while keeping the core cognitive work in students’ hands.
Teachers Talk Radio
On Teachers Talk Radio, I joined Dr. Carmen Miles, PFHEA, for Timea Kadar’s Twilight Show to talk about what building an AI-literate faculty really takes: mindset, pedagogic judgement, and faculty development beyond the tools.
Errol St. Clair Smith Podcast
With Errol St. Clair Smith, I talked about agentic AI and the flood of edtech tools into schools, and why grounding decisions in pedagogy and clear purpose matters more than chasing novelty.
Eduvation Podcast
On Eduvation with Hadas, I argued that AI literacy has to come before tools, and how strong pedagogy helps educators make clearer, more confident decisions about AI use.
