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.

Student-Centered Learning (SCL) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are both educational approaches that aim to enhance student engagement and success, but they have different focuses and methods. Below is a comparison of their similarities and differences:
Differences:Primary Focus:
Student-Centered Learning: Focuses on student choice and autonomy. The goal is to empower students to take charge of their learning by making decisions about content, goals, and methods.
Goal Setting
Universal Design for Learning: Focuses on accessibility and inclusivity. The goal is to design lessons and materials that are accessible to all students, regardless of their abilities, from the outset.
Strengths and WeaknessesApproach to Curriculum:
SCL: In SCL, students have significant input into the curriculum. They may choose topics of interest and set personal learning goals, leading to a more personalized learning experience.UDL: In UDL, the curriculum is designed with all learners in mind from the beginning. It anticipates diverse needs and provides multiple ways for students to access information, demonstrate knowledge, and stay engaged

Segment 1:
Narrative: Getting ready to start the new school year.
Segment 2: Edtech Mindset & Opening Day Activities
How will you be using Edtech this year? How is this different from years past?Nick: Focus on teaching problem solving and getting questions answered, rather than teaching how to use specific tools. So many updates all the time. Constantly changing tutorials and guides to keep up. Why! Instead, teach students to roll with these changes and use resources already there.Show them and provide links to website specific tech guidesTeach them good phrases to google when it comes to tech helpAsk AI tools for helpGuiseI am going to simplify and reduce the amount of tools that students use in the classroomBe aware of technology burnout8 class periods a day 3 edtech tools per class = 24 edtech tools students may useWhat advice would you give to new and experienced teachers for using edtech this year?Nick: Stick with time-tested tools that have been around and are not likely to go away. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. For example, the recent locking away of Flip shows us that even popular tools can become out of reach.Be clear with your AI policies.

Episode 169: Edtech for Video Discussions AKA Replacers for Flip (Flipgrid)
Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown This is episode 169 called “Edtech for Video Discussions - AKA Replacers for Flip”.

Video discussions are a valuable tool, whether you’ll have access to Flip or not and this episode will teach you about them! This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out!
Segment 1:
Narrative: I recently had a teacher ask “what do you recommend we use in place of Flipgrid next year? Flip, formerly Flipgrid is going away …kind of
Video discussions is a weird segment of edtech because it doesn’t really exist outside of Flip (flipgrid)
Replacers are tough because there really aren’t any competitors for Flip that do this exact thing.
Segment 2:
Replacer options:
Padlet: Popular interactive learning space. Detailed description: To start posting, double-click anywhere on the board. You can then drag and drop files, paste files, or use the Save As bookmark with Padlet mini. Alternatively, click the plus icon in the lower right corner to add content. You can upload images, videos, audio files, links, or documents. Padlet can be used in many ways, from a brainstorming board to a live question bank, limited only by your imagination. You can even make it collaborative, allowing your students to expand and enhance it with their creativity. Once you're ready, hit publish to share your Padlet. It can be integrated with apps like Google Classroom and various LMS options. Additionally, Padlet can be embedded on blogs or school websites.Canva Presentations and video insert. Tell Ss to click Upload and Record Yourself so they can insert their own video. Use the other presentation space for comments and discussion. Whiteboards would be great for this, but in Whiteboards, when you click Upload there is not a record yourself option.Wakelet still incorporates the Flip camera - will this last … hard to say. There is a free version of Wakelet, but you’ll likely want the paid version.Low “tech” version: Google Slides!Book Creators video optionSee-Saw video recording options. Seesaw combines instructional tools, standards-aligned lessons, student portfolios, and inclusive communication features. Some teachers use Seesaw primarily as a place for students to share their work, and specifically encourage individual reflection and peer feedback.

Segment 2:
Project ideas:
Make a meme projectExample: Generate class rules using memes, learn new vocabulary, identify the novel using memes, describe a historical event (thanks NSTA blog!)Edtech: Just look them up, there are many.

One of the 4 must be a “selfie” and they must all be connected to something this person MIGHT post about, were they on Insta today.Edtech: Adobe Express - A great, free Canva alternativeMock twitter debateExample: In this project, students will participate in a mock debate as if they were on the Twitter platform (now known as X). This exercise is designed to improve writing and argumentation skills in Spanish, as well as to encourage the ability to debate respectfully in a public setting. Students will not use real Twitter but will write their posts and comments as if they were on the platform. Debate Topic: "Should cities implement more bike lanes to encourage bicycle use?"Edtech: Create a template in Google slides that has images from real X posts with the words remove. Students insert text boxes on top of those blank spaces.At home science tik tok videoExample: Create a 1 minute to 3 minute (tiktok times) at-home science video and explain what is going on in the caption.

AI for Educators: Learning Strategies, Teacher Efficiencies, and a Vision for an Artificial Intelligence Future by Matt MillerLeaders Eat Last by Simon SinekIn the U.S. Marines during mealtime, Sinek explains, it’s common for the highest ranking officers to fix their plates last. This not only ensures everyone on the team is fed, but sends an important message: Leaders look after their people first. But Sinek’s people-first approach is only one component of a larger narrative that includes segments on creating a safe environment within your organization—he refers to this as the “Circle of Safety”—and the surprising impacts of what he calls “selfless chemicals” like serotonin and oxytocin on leadership style.Nick’s Books

Let them discuss, consider, and reflect.Generate class rules together, almost like normsGive them examples from real life where AI might be allowed, and then not allowed.In college, they would likely see similar rules, where using AI to write for you is likely considered academic dishonesty and you would get expelled.In life, you might use AI to begin the process of writing a best mans speech you need to give.In a career, you might use it to plan out some talking points for an upcoming meeting or make an email sound more professional.Assignment/Project ExpectationsClearly state acceptable/unacceptable uses of AIHave some pre-written templates for different types of assignments and what types of AI-use might be acceptable.
