How a Creative Approach to AI Can Enrich Both Teaching and Learning With Reed Dickson

While many educators are cautiously dipping their toes into the LLM waters, this episode's guest has been playing in the depths and enjoying every minute of it.

Reed Dickson is an educator, writer, designer and speaker focused on the future of teaching, learning, EdTech and AI. He joins Dr. Cristi Ford to share his passion for this evolving technology and his thoughts on how educators and students can develop a better understanding of these tools.
