From AI tools to paper planes! Together with my colleague Dr Naveen Jnanendrappa we conducted a workshop for first-semester students, aimed at easing their transition to university life and equipping them with essential skills for thriving in a student-centered curriculum. The workshop was a dynamic blend of various learning modalities, designed to cater to diverse learning preferences. This activity is part of the "transition to university education" course I lead. We kick started the session by watching a video on sharps injuries, where students actively summarized key points, sharpening their comprehension and note-taking abilities. Next, we dived into auditory learning through a clinical podcast. Students honed their active listening skills by highlighting essential learnings, fostering critical thinking and information synthesis. To infuse a dose of kinesthetic learning and teamwork, we engaged in a hands-on activity: constructing paper planes in groups. This seemingly simple task proved to be a fantastic icebreaker, promoting collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving among peers. Throughout the workshop, I witnessed students' enthusiasm and engagement as they embraced diverse learning approaches. It was heartening to see their eagerness to acquire new skills and adapt to the dynamic university environment. As educators, our role extends beyond imparting knowledge; we must empower students to become self-directed learners, equipped to navigate the complexities of higher education and beyond. This workshop was a step towards achieving that goal, and I look forward to more enriching experiences that nurture well-rounded, lifelong learners. #HigherEducation #StudentCenteredLearning #InteractiveLearning #LifelongLearners

🌟 An Open Call to Schools: Embrace the Catalyst for the AI Era 🌟 As the world hurtles forward into the AI-driven future, education stands at a crossroads. The decisions we make today will shape not only the intellect of our children but the very essence of their humanity. 🌍✨ 📢 Why Must Schools Transform Now? The AI era demands more than academic excellence; it demands human resilience, creativity, and ethical grounding. Technology is no longer a tool we use—it’s a force shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Without a curriculum that acknowledges this reality, schools risk becoming outdated relics, producing individuals who are consumers of AI rather than its creators. 🌀 The Reality of the Digital Age: AI is not just enhancing our world; it’s influencing our children’s minds, hearts, and souls. The pace of technological advancement can feel overwhelming and, if left unchecked, can create an imbalance that’s difficult to recover from. As educators, our responsibility is not just to teach but to prepare children to lead in this ever-evolving ecosystem. 🎯 Enter SchoolAge - The Catalyst Curriculum SchoolAge is more than a curriculum; it’s a philosophy, a movement to redefine education for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. It equips schools with the tools to nurture children who can thrive in AI-driven ecosystems without losing their sense of humanity. 🚀 What SchoolAge Offers: Balance: Teaching children to harmonize technology and creativity with mindfulness and ethics.

We are current K12 educators and coaches learning to use AI to reduce teacher burnout and increase student performance. We are not a tech company trying to learn K12 education. School districts and PD providers across Virginia trust our processes to teach AI tools to their people. Our next conference is for VASCD and their CTE coordinators. How can you imagine AI helping a CTE coordinator or teacher? (Grants, curriculum development, tracking completers, data tracking to ensure certification tests are passed?)
