Today, we are sitting down with Anthony Carabache to talk about what AI really means for teachers right now. We cut through the hype and get into what matters: understanding how it works, recognizing that it’s not neutral, and using it in ways that actually support our classrooms without replacing us. We also dig into privacy, responsibility, and what it looks like to guide students in a space that’s moving fast and not always clearly regulated. We are bringing the focus back to what we already know matters most in teaching. Let’s dive into the well!
