Vicki Davis (00:00)

I am so excited at present. We’re with certainly one of my quote, oldest mates on the web. We did the flat classroom challenge again in 2006, gained the ISTE on-line studying award in 2006 for greatest international collaborative challenge. And it was lots of enjoyable AJ, it was a very long time in the past for each of us. However, and I am saying this as a result of I depend on AJ,

AJ Juliani (00:05)

it.

Good.

Vicki Davis (00:23)

He is a thought chief, He has superb keynotes. He is written bestsellers, empathy, launch, adaptable. And now he has a brand new ebook, Significant and Related, Partaking Learners within the Age of Distraction. He additionally has a podcast known as The Backwards. And that is backwards engineering

issues which is nice. AJ, we’ll discuss at present about how can we be significant and related and have interaction learners within the age of distraction. And you already know what? Youngsters have modified. How have they modified?

AJ Juliani (00:53)

Vicki, thanks once more for having me on the podcast. It is at all times nice to meet up with you. And also you’re somebody I have been trying as much as since I used to be classroom trainer, searching for one thing to do with my children that have been going to get them past the classroom partitions and flat classroom challenge, which was superb, however many issues through the years, we have been chatting and also you talked about a time period that I have been speaking about rather a lot as effectively, which is that we’re on this second of a hinge of historical past.

Vicki Davis (00:57)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (01:16)

Proper? This, this second of a hinge of historical past the place there is a, a technological development that occurs that impacts everyone and form of modifications the world a bit bit. And you’ll take into consideration printing press and the data revolution, proper? You would take into consideration the telegraph and abruptly making the world smaller as a result of folks have transatlantic communication, radio and tv, mass broadcasts, clearly the digital revolution with computer systems. And the final one we have been simply in was the web.

Vicki Davis (01:23)

Sure.

AJ Juliani (01:43)

You recognize, clearly lots of people are speaking about AI as being this hinge of historical past proper now, however the web actually modified children and us for good. And I need you to consider this. Do you keep in mind that present Cribs, Vicki, again within the day? Keep in mind that present?

Vicki Davis (01:53)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (01:59)

It was the very best, proper? It was simply mainly exhibiting you well-known folks’s homes. You bought to see their homes, you bought to see their vehicles, it was their crib, and you bought to see within their fridge and all the pieces like that. After I was rising up, that was my solely perception into the world of the wealthy and well-known. I lived in a small city, I had two mates that have been quote unquote wealthy, one was a lawyer, the physician, proper, that was the kind of factor. At present’s children reside in such a special world.

Vicki Davis (02:03)

Oh yeah, okay.

AJ Juliani (02:27)

Vicki, proper? I’ve 5 children of my very own. I’ve a young person, I’ve a center schooler. They, on these units, I am holding up a cellphone in my hand proper right here, comply with 1000’s of people that make a whole lot of 1000’s of {dollars}, hundreds of thousands of {dollars} from doing dances, placing on make-up, taking part in video video games. And so after we speak about our children in at present’s world, and we attempt to say, comply with this conventional path, faculty is vital, seven hours a day, listen, two hours of homework.

It’s totally tough for this era to grasp that in the identical manner we did, as a result of they’ve a complete totally different world at their fingertips that they are experiencing.

Vicki Davis (03:02)

Mm-hmm.

So how can we have interaction them in training? Is it hopeless? We all know it isn’t.

AJ Juliani (03:10)

No, I do not assume it is hopeless in any respect, however I feel there’s 4 massive issues that I at all times speak about. We want our studying experiences to be human, to be social, to be meaning-centered, and to be language-based. Now, after all, these 4 issues have modified over time, however in case you had Aristotle and Socrates, these 4 issues create a studying and engaged expertise of their time. For us, the issues that do not actually work anymore

conventional, compliance-based, boring, and standardized. AI crushes these, but in addition children do not listen when that’s the setting. And so we have to give attention to these massive 4 issues.

Vicki Davis (03:51)

So can we undergo every of those 4 issues and simply allow you to give examples? So studying experiences have to be human, go there.

AJ Juliani (03:59)

Human. So that they have to be human in the identical manner that we have to work together with folks. Proper. So human mainly means it would not at all times must be nose to nose. However you have most likely had like a significant dialog on this gadget over the previous 24 48 hours. Proper.

Vicki Davis (04:16)

proper earlier than we talked.

AJ Juliani (04:17)

with essentially a pc or one thing alongside these traces. Now they are often aided by a digital gadget, however nonetheless have to be. Sure, proper, precisely, proper? In order that’s human, we have been utilizing Wikis, these days you need to use one thing else, however that concept of interacting. Social takes that to the following degree. Social mainly says, you already know, in the true world outdoors of college, you are not essentially doing lots of complete exams by your self. You are capable of work together along with your friends, have the ability to ask questions.

Vicki Davis (04:23)

such as you and me with a flat classroom. Yeah.

Mm-hmm

AJ Juliani (04:47)

I at all times take into consideration like that present, who needs to be a millionaire? You’ll be able to cellphone a buddy, proper? So we might try this on a regular basis in the true world. That is that social facet of issues. We’ll go right down to which means centered. Now abruptly it will get fairly severe. Is the experiences our children are having at school significant and related? Or are they only a product of a really standardized curriculum?

Vicki Davis (05:01)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (05:11)

I am going to provide you with an instance, Vicki. After I was younger, I went by means of my dinosaur section. And I imagine everyone had a dinosaur section, proper? However once I went by means of my dinosaur section, I went to my third grade trainer, Ms. Herring, and I mentioned, hey, Ms. Herring, it is September When are we gonna find out about dinosaurs? And he or she mentioned, February. And the one factor I might do between September and February is go to the library and pull out a ebook. Nicely, my son simply went by means of his dinosaur section. And he did not have any of that drawback. He was watching a reside present on YouTube.

Vicki Davis (05:17)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (05:38)

from the easiest paleontologist on the planet who has added dig website, placing on a present for teenagers. That is the distinction of which means. We’ve to faucet into all these experiences which can be on the market for our children and produce them to our children or not less than assist them go and get them. And that is what which means appears like. And the final one, which is language-based, simply means in any manner, form or kind, there must be that communication that is occurring for studying to occur.

And it might be communication with texting, emails, on-line, you already know, DMing, all these several types of issues. What can we nose to nose? You recognize, language-based communication, however language and studying to make use of language successfully is just about one of the vital vital abilities that we have now on the market. So these 4 are the large ones proper now.

Vicki Davis (06:29)

As a result of textual content opens the door for all the pieces from creating different textual content to creating artwork to creating music. And we’re not speaking about all of the ethics proper now, however creating absolutely anything now comes right down to our capability to make use of descriptive, efficient, imaginative, inventive language. Like language has at all times been vital.

however that is the place the spark of creativity as a result of AI by itself is fairly bland and never inventive. AI with a human and man, it makes use of the phrase Delve on a regular basis. Like what’s up? Like ChatGPT has its favourite phrases and it drives me loopy as a result of if I see any individual use the phrase Delve, I am going to know they use ChatGPT to jot down it. Is not that horrible?

AJ Juliani (07:15)

You recognize, GPT is at all times delving, proper? All the time.

Vicki Davis (07:17)

It is at all times “delving”. It is like, what’s up with this? What’s it, what delve What, who says that? Chat GPT says its favourite phrase. So you have seen it too.

AJ Juliani (07:25)

No, I, sure, I imply, I feel you are proper. So, you already know, in a world of AI, we nonetheless need children to assume. We would like them to create. And the one manner as an educator or a dad or mum or a mentor that I can see children considering is thru their use of language. And so language is so vital for us to give attention to proper now in all its number of

Vicki Davis (07:46)

So let’s speak about what it will possibly’t be as a result of typically we have now to have a wake-up name. How lengthy have we been saying that, quote, lecture would not work? Now I wanna make a caveat as a result of like, there are a couple of occasions a 12 months I may give a speech on the historical past of know-how that’s uniquely me as a result of I’ve lived it. I’ve been utilizing a pc since I used to be seven.

I can discuss in regards to the day this occurred, the day that occurred, the primary time I used like, it’s totally different as a result of I’m telling tales and it is a human connection and it is a dialog, okay? So we won’t say trainer on the entrance of the room by no means occurs as a result of that is a part of being human and fascinating and all that, proper? However on daily basis lecturing bell to bell, like what’s it gonna take to assist us perceive that does not essentially have interaction learners?

AJ Juliani (08:38)

Yeah, I might begin off and simply say, I feel we already know that. every time I ask folks what your greatest studying experiences are, it is usually one thing that they are doing hands-on, experiential, project-based, inquiry-based. What are the issues that you just keep in mind out of your faculty and expertise? It is a reference to the trainer. How do you construct these connections? A number of occasions by means of these tasks and issues like that. Proper, so I feel we inherently realize it. And I truly…

Vicki Davis (08:46)

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (09:01)

Empathize with academics and directors in all places as a result of the system has put lots of guardrails on of us the place they must cowl Curriculum they’ve to show the check these several types of issues And so lots of occasions the system is about up the place it makes it actually laborious to do a number of the issues that we simply know Inherently work take a look at the analysis it really works as effectively However certainly one of my favourite that I like working with academics on a regular basis is I like having them say, okay

Vicki Davis (09:19)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (09:28)

you’ve got a unit arising, and you already know that the scholars assume it a bit bit that is the place I feel the ability of AI actually helps, as a result of beforehand I must sit down and spend hours with my colleagues making an attempt to give you some significant and related methods to have interaction our learners.

Vicki Davis (09:46)

Mm.

AJ Juliani (09:46)

Now, once I work with academics, I take advantage of a device like ChatGPT or Magic Faculty, and I give what grade degree I am instructing, proper? Set the context. I give what my unit’s about, set form of what that have is. After which I can inform Magic Faculty within the make it related portion there, I can inform ChatGPT, hey, listed here are what my college students have an interest. You recognize, possibly they’re fascinated about…

Vicki Davis (10:12)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (10:14)

social media and video video games and sports activities or no matter, make-up, no matter I need to be, give me some concepts to make this unit related. And abruptly I acquired three, 4, 5 concepts that I can then take my human intelligence to take it a step additional and one thing that is actionable. So now I’ve gone and saved that 10 hours of time when it comes to arising with the concepts. I’ve acquired the concepts and now I can use my time to truly put it into motion. And…

I’ve simply seen academics’ eyes mild up after they get these concepts as a result of they need to do what’s greatest for teenagers. They wanna get that focus by means of significant and related methods, and now it is extra accessible than ever.

Vicki Davis (10:52)

Yeah. Pay attention, I’ve discovered extra about soccer, which is massive at my faculty, utilizing chat GPT, most of my children in my AP laptop science ideas class play soccer. And so have been combating the distinction between parameters and arguments. And I used to be capable of go in and say, I would like some examples of parameters and arguments utilizing soccer examples.

and I would like issues that they will resolve. And hear, the sunshine bulb went on. I used to be trustworthy with them. I am making an attempt to show you parameters and arguments. I am making an attempt to make it related. After which we truly went in and I had them create different examples utilizing ChatGPT. And I mentioned, okay, how can we use this device to show us?

decide one thing you want. And so one particular person did, the very best instance is definitely soccer, And like the entire class is like, we get it. And that was an excellent second, nevertheless it was not solely I modeled it, I taught them. So I actually like to speak rather a lot about efficient use of AI. It is applicable to make use of it right here, not there.

And that is simply a part of being a trainer, like guiding them by means of. So there are lots of faculties which can be afraid of AI and do not need to speak about it. Or they’re going to say, you possibly can’t point out it or you possibly can’t speak about it. I feel the final time I noticed this concern in my lifetime was when the web got here out, you already know, do not speak about it. We’re not going to confess that it is there. What do you do to assist folks by means of the concern issue?

into, okay, how can we reside with this and educate with this and discover its applicable place?

AJ Juliani (12:19)

Yeah, you already know, I am afraid as effectively. I like to inform folks I am not professional AI or anti AI. I am simply form of extra of a realist that it is right here. You recognize, I’ve 5 children at school. I work with academics and college students on a regular basis. And so there’s very actual moral, ethical bias issues on the market. What I like to inform folks is 2 focuses, proper? It is form of twofold. Primary, there’s some instruments on the market.

Vicki Davis (12:22)

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Sure.

AJ Juliani (12:48)

which have already been created for educators with some safeguards in place which can be serving to educators do nice work. I take advantage of Magic Faculty for example. It helps on the similar time. You’ll be able to develop actual world connections, related issues, selection boards. You’ll be able to summarize textual content, degree textual content, proper? Translate textual content, all this stuff that we do on a regular basis. Helps with IEPs, with lodging, modifications. So why not begin there along with your employees in saying, let’s use this collectively.

Vicki Davis (12:57)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (13:18)

with a device that is created for educators with some safeguards in place and see how you need to use it, proper? The second manner is after we speak about pupil use, we have now to be very clear that we’re utilizing instruments that truly have youngster privateness and information legal guidelines on the coronary heart, proper? So the 2 that I like rather a lot are Curipod, which is form of like a Nearpod, Pear Deck, Kahoot sort factor.

Vicki Davis (13:44)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (13:45)

the place children do not must log in with Google. They do not must do something. They only put of their identify. And so there’s none of that privateness or information that you just’re shedding there. And the identical one is Faculty AI, which does the identical factor. So I like these two instruments. However Vicki, the large factor that I speak about once I work with faculties rather a lot is that we have now to speak about it and tackle it. We won’t reside in some fairy land the place we act like this does not exist on each gadget that our children and of us have.

Vicki Davis (13:48)

Proper?

AJ Juliani (14:15)

Proper? And so we won’t simply carry on taking part in the gotcha video games, making an attempt to catch it. So we truly must create some parameters or protocols on how we use it. Now a faculty district outdoors of Philadelphia close to me named Garnet Valley faculty district. Created this excellent visitors mild protocol that I share on a regular basis. And mainly purple can be a lesson or exercise the place we’re not allowed to make use of AI. We need to see your considering, you individually, there’s loads of alternatives the place we do not really need.

Vicki Davis (14:33)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (14:44)

AI or assisted applied sciences to come back assist the children. And so that might be a purple form of lesson or exercise. Then there’s yellow. That is the place the scholars must ask for permission. Say a child is combating math they usually say, hey, Mr. J, am I ready to make use of picture math to simply form of assist me see a number of the work issues and options tonight as I am preparing for that quiz, simply to assist me out? In fact, as a result of they requested my permission, I am giving them again to them, proper? There is a child that is.

Vicki Davis (15:02)

Mm-hmm.

AJ Juliani (15:12)

struggling on a writing task, they wanna give you some concepts. Hey, can I take advantage of this device? In fact, proper? They’re getting some permission, that might be yellow. After which there’s inexperienced. And inexperienced is the place academics have been encouraging use. An instance I like to provide for this one is, MLA quotation and Works Cited. I used to spend hours and items on that. I might now, use these two instruments, get your work cited, proper? Your MLA quotation, hold the tutorial integrity, however do not take on a regular basis that it used to take.

Vicki Davis (15:19)

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Oh.

AJ Juliani (15:40)

So now when we have now that purple, yellow, and inexperienced, we’re capable of truly focus on and speak about use with our employees members, with our colleagues, and naturally with the children.

Vicki Davis (15:48)

Yeah. So what are your favourite instruments for MLA and APA?

AJ Juliani (15:52)

I imply, I nonetheless like, you already know, the Purdue Owl trusted one on the market, however my favourite AI one is definitely Jenni.ai, which is J-E-N-N-I.ai. Particularly for highschool college students and older, it simply does a unbelievable job.

Vicki Davis (16:09)

You taught me a brand new one. I am so excited. Nicely, AJ Giuliani, the brand new ebook is Significant and Related, Partaking Learners in an Age of Distraction. He is actual deal.

AJ Juliani (16:11)

Thanks.

Vicki Davis (16:20)

And I extremely advocate AJ only for all the pieces. And I hope that every one of you’ll exit and pre-order his ebook. Thanks for approaching the present.

AJ Juliani (16:28)

Vicki, thanks a lot for having me proper again at you. Discovered a lot from you. And to everyone on the market listening, carry on doing the nice work.
