Using Eduaide.Ai's Ice Breaker Tool to Start the Year Right
Connecting with students early in the school year can make a significant difference in the classroom atmosphere and how students engage. Despite evolving challenges—whether it’s technology, diverse learning needs, or changing cultural norms—one principle stays true: meaningful teacher-student relationships are essential for effective learning. Eduaide.Ai’s Ice Breaker tool can help facilitate those early connections.
Some Reflections on Learning Design and AI
Generative AI tools offer practical opportunities for educators by automating tasks, refining lesson planning, and making evidence-based methods more accessible. However, integrating AI into education requires careful consideration of ethical concerns, data privacy, and potential misuse.
Syllabus Starter
A well-crafted syllabus sets the tone, manages expectations, and serves as a social contract for the classroom community. Embrace clear and consistent syllabus practices to establish a framework for classroom management and student procedure.
Tool Explainer: Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER)
Learn how the Claim Evidence Reasoning (CER) framework helps students build logical, evidence-based arguments across subjects like science, history, and literature.

Ai and Education: Universal Fields
This blog post discusses the universality of education and artificial intelligence (AI) as fields. It explores how people can enter education for various reasons, such as a passion for their subject or a desire to contribute to society. Reflections include the challenge of designing a system that combines both education and AI, drawing inspiration from the idea of bringing potential to fruition in design, as described by Kenya Hara in "Designing Japan."
Generative Ai and Education: A Tool-Based Approach (Part I)
This post considers the increasing use of AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), in education. The post raises questions about whether AI feedback enhances learning or becomes a crutch. It emphasizes the importance of understanding AI's capabilities and limitations to develop effective policies in education.
Talking With Instructional Coaches About AI
Some reflections from my appearence on the Coaching Collaborative Podcast. In the episode we discussed the uncomfortable nature of the unknown, how to align Large Language Models (LLMs) with instructional methods, and the different ways we might conceptualize and approach machine/human collaboration at the intersection of generative AI and education.
