In this episode of the Tech Ed Clubhouse , I’m joined by Stephanie Howell —CEO of Gold EDU, Google Innovator, co-author of Control the Chaos , and Community Coach at SchoolAI . We talk about the difference between engagement and compliance , why quiet classrooms are often misunderstood, and how small, low-prep moves can immediately shift student thinking. Stephanie shares her personal learning story, a 5-minute classroom strategy teachers can use tomorrow , and how AI—used well—supports feedback, iteration, and real learning without replacing teachers. We also dig into: What real engagement actually looks like Managing “controlled chaos” in active classrooms How SchoolAI’s Dot and Spaces support teachers and students Using AI for feedback, projects, and formative assessment Why teachers—not tools—still lead the work If you want ideas that work inside real classrooms, without new mandates or heavy lift, this episode is for you.
