Yeah, there's a lot of discussion on AI.

That was definitely at the forefront.

Now there's a pullback.

So it kind of is this juxtaposition of AI is coming, but now we see the research that phones and laptops may not be the best learning, outlead to the best learning outcomes.

We know that phones

affect things like concentration, attention span, causes social issues.

And the laptop really can't replace, you know, writing.

That important connection between writing something down and retaining facts and recall.

And also I've heard from schools that children are losing the ability to write.

So that aside, it was an interesting sort of juxtaposition.

Yeah, I feel like that we need less more AI versus education and where can we use it when it's appropriate.

So I see AI being very, very helpful in things like

school administration and helping teachers with their workload, I can see that really being a positive effect and, you know, just being more proactive than ever to just try and keep learning human-focused first.

I think that's what's really important.

Yes, I think it's about keeping a balanced approach.

So not being a Luddite and saying being anti-technology because that's not the future.

And that's not the future our kids live in either.

So it's like, how can we use it in an appropriate way that can enhance learning and not take away from learning?

And I think it's really exciting.

It's like a new frontier.
