Are you finding it challenging to integrate AI tools in your educational setting while addressing both instructional needs and policy concerns? What if there was a clear roadmap to help your school navigate this complex landscape?
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Bryan Drost on the latest episode of Digital Learning Today. As an educational technology expert with extensive experience across multiple school districts, Bryan shared practical insights that you can implement immediately in your school.
The highlight of our conversation was Bryanβs structured approach to AI implementation. He emphasized the importance of starting with foundational technologies that address immediate instructional needs before progressing to more advanced applications. This tiered strategy helps schools build necessary support structures and teacher capacity through targeted professional development, avoiding the common pitfall of adopting new technologies without proper preparation. Bryan also stressed the need for balanced AI policies that enable innovation rather than simply restricting usage - creating frameworks that protect students while empowering educators to explore AIβs educational potential.
What AI implementation strategies are working in your educational setting? Iβd love to hear your experiences in the comments below. If you found value in this episode, please share it with colleagues who are working to thoughtfully integrate AI tools in their schools - together we can build a community of practice around effective educational technology integration.
Until next time, keep up the great work in your classrooms and continue sharing your passions with your students.
