Episode Description
How do we use technology like artificial intelligence for good?
What is the role of the teacher when technology is so prevalent in learning spaces?
How should we teach young people to treat artificial intelligence?
Let’s create the synergy bridge between tech and humans!
We create synergy with Evan Weinberg, speaking about all things AI; its actual potential, how we decide to use it for learning, and navigating its power alongside students in classrooms and beyond.
Evan Weinberg teaches interdisciplinary courses at International School Nido de Aguilas in Santiago, Chile. He has previously taught in New York City, China, and Vietnam across a range of subjects including technology, computer science, mathematics, physics, and engineering. Evan is driven by helping students become designers of their own lives through meaningful, project-based learning. He values thoughtful integration of technology into his courses while maintaining an appreciation for analog, hands-on approaches.
