You could tell the educators that were given a lot of support and a lot of resources and really trained what good looked like.

And then the ones that were kind of thrown into it without that support.

Our goal really has improved over the last five years of that level of

online learning and course design.

You talk about this pace of change that started in six years ago, March of 2020.

And that pace of change hasn't slowed.

Just when everybody thought, oh, COVID's over, we can take a breath.

November 30th of 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT and we got everything got turned on its head again.

The last three years from that have been just an

incredibly fast-paced evolution of how do we use this technology i have a chart and tell us the seven stages of grief going through all of that we're really in the acceptance phase with ai now and how are we applying it appropriately 70 of workers feel unprepared what does that really mean

We've got this kind of schism between education that in many ways is still really dealing with the academic integrity idea, this idea that AI is just for cheating versus businesses that are trying to figure out how do we optimize our jobs with these tools.

And in many cases, don't feel like universities are preparing them for that.

It's even worse in K-12.

When you look at K-12 and there's a kind of an anti-technology and education movement going on that ignores some of the more glaring benefits of using technology to reach people that

have accessibility challenges and rural and frankly, just maybe are missing school, things like that.

We've got to get everybody on the same page.

And Google announced a really great program trying to provide free AI education to 6 million educators across the United States.

We're getting ready to release some courses around AI literacy and

Even the detractors, those educators that are scared of AI or have doubled down and said, we're not using AI.

Honestly, take an AI literacy course.
