This episode dives into the real-world impact of AI in classrooms.

We talk about creativity, cheating myths, assessment shifts, and how โsystemic disruptionโ might be exactly what education needs right now.

- Beckyโs favorite tools: Canva AI, Claude, ChatGPT, andCopilot.
- AI can speed up workflowsโbut canโt replace teacherrelationships.
