EDT121 AI: To Use or Not to Use? Also Grade All in Google Classroom, CoSpaces becomes Delightex, and more

Is the goal to complete the task… or to grow stronger? In this
episode, I reflect on Rick Wormeli’s article “With A.I., Let’s
Keep Students’ Learning Paramount” and what it means for
educators navigating AI in classrooms. I also share updates on
Common Sense Media’s free ChatGPT course, Google Classroom’s new
“Grade All” feature, the CoSpaces rebrand to Delightex, and a TED
Talk that might change how you view success. Vacuum metaphors,
forklifts, and academic cosplay—press play!
