About this episode

Dr. Kris McGee discusses how to prepare pre-service educators for an AI future by emphasizing the importance of human connection in teaching.

Cohosts Mary Crowley Farrell and Ron Hansen welcome Dr. Kris McGee, Professor, Department of Educational Professions, Frostburg State University. Dr. McGee explains how she uses transparency and modeling to teach pre-service teachers how to use AI as a partner while keeping the teacher's voice and human connection at the center of learning. From creating differentiated texts for diverse reading levels to rethinking lessons that didn't land, she demonstrates how AI can handle the tedious work so teachers can focus on what matters most: the relationships and empathy that no tool can replace.
