This episode is sponsored by TWT Audio. Are your students dealing with broken headsets, poor audio quality, or unreliable microphones at moments that matter most? TWT Audio was built for educators, by educators, designing headsets specifically for real classroom environments, durable enough to last, and comfortable for all-day use. With over 5 million headsets and headphones sold, schools trust TWT because they just work, delivering consistent performance while simplifying technology. Instead of replacing cheap headsets year after year, invest in a solution that schools nationwide trust every day. TWT Audio — hear the difference. AI literacy is more than prompts and chatbots. In this episode, we unpack what educators and school leaders are getting wrong about AI in education. Learn how to improve AI usage, align technology decisions with campus goals, and avoid costly edtech mistakes. If your district is overwhelmed with tools and unclear direction, this conversation will help you simplify, focus, and lead with purpose.
