AI, Technology, & Education Keynote, School Culture and Climate Conference

Summary:
This week is a special episode, it’s a keynote from my talk at the School Climate Conference in Southern California. This is an education conference for anyone directly involved with community health in a school or district. In this keyonte, I was asked to speak to the current trends around AI and education, concerns about screen time and mental health, cheating and phone bans. I got to share some stories I haven’t told in awhile as well as some new stories which I enjoyed immensely, I hope you will enjoy it too.
