Edtech Throwdown

By: Eric Guise/Nick Johnson
  • Summary

  • The Edtech Throwdown podcast (originally GotTechED the Podcast) was created in 2018 by Nick Johnson and Eric Guise with one, singular goal: to provide quality, tech-centric professional development (PD) to busy teachers on the move. As educators who have always been passionate about PD, Nick and Guise have attended and created hundreds of hours of professional learning experiences for teachers, but there has always been one problem ... time! Attending full-day workshops and conferences is difficult and stressful due to missed class time and added prep. With the Edtech Thowdown, Nick and Guise hope to provide busy teachers a way to access educational PD at their convenience.

      Episode 175: The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work?

      Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is episode 175 called “The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work” In this episode, we’ll share the story of the british school that is experimenting with a “teacherless” classroom led by AI! We’ll also talk about why human teachers don’t have to worry as we discuss the best ways that AI can integrate with humans, not get replaced by it. This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

      Segment 1: AI Taking Over Teacher Jobs?

      Narrative: We heard lots of gloom and doom about AI in schools, but this is likely overblown.

      There IS however, a school that is experimentally trying to replace teachers with AI.

      https://www.inavateonthenet.net/news/article/uk-school-to-replace-teachers-with-ai-programme

      The David Game College in London will replace its traditional teaching programme with an AI-enabled ‘adaptive learning’ system, opening a ‘teacherless’ course for 20 students in September.

      The students will use a mix of artificial intelligence platforms on their PCs, in conjunction with VR headsets. Dubbed the Sabrewing programme, each student will receive a personalised learning experience with a self-paced approach that is ideal for examination resit students.

      More on the Sabrewing programme …

      One important message for teachers - this WILL NOT BE THE NEW NORM

      Stay tuned for segment 2 where we’ll talk about the ways AI will continue to incorporate with live human teachers, not replace them.
