Host Kane welcomes David, a Boston-based high school history, government, and journalism teacher, to discuss balancing analog learning with technology and AI in the classroom. David says he is pro-learning rather than anti-tech, preferring discussions, gallery walks, printed materials, and group work, introducing tools like Kahoot or supervised chatbots only after students show mastery, and he is cautious about students using AI without teacher oversight. He describes limited, monitored student use via Flint AI for writing support, while noting it can increase teacher workload, and supports teacher use of AI for tasks like generating questions or helping with feedback if outputs are checked and teachers are transparent. They discuss research and policy concerns about screens and phones, differences between US and Australian school systems and PD, and David raises grade inflation and pressure to pass students in the US.
