What should parents know about kids using AI for homework?

0:00

Let's talk about your kid and AI homework. Here's what teachers want parents to know. The problem is not that kids use AI. It's that they use it as a replacement instead of a starting point. The students who are thriving, they ask AI to explain something three different ways until they get it. The one struggling, they paste the question, copy the answer, and learn nothing. So here's the only conversation you need to have. Sit down with your kid and say, show me how you're using AI.

How can kids effectively use AI as a learning tool?

0:27

Walk me through what you asked and what you did with the answers. That's it. No lecture, no ban, just curiosity. If they can explain everything that the AI gave them in their own words, they're learning. And if they can't, that's your teachable moment right there. And speaking of AI, I started a brand new free newsletter. Comes out once a week. You should really try it. Sign up at SplashOfAI.com. SplashOfAI.com. Next up, a call for my weekend show, the Kim Commando Show. Enjoy.

Hey, you know that glow that you see on people just seem to radiate health. It's not just great lighting. It's what's happening inside their body. And as one of the best kept secrets to looking and feeling amazing is in fact collagen. You see, as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, thinning hair, brittle nails, and feeling less flexible than we used to. But the good news is that you can support your body naturally. With high quality collagen from Natapath, You're giving your body the building blocks it needs to support smoother looking skin, stronger nails, and shinier hair. And some studies also suggest that collagen supplements may help support bone health.

There's only one person that I would like to ask this digital question to. And it involves wanting to know a program or an app or a device that my daughters can record their school notes from index cards and then be able to play them back anywhere they happen to be studying. Now, I used to do this with a cassette recorder and played it back on a walkman, but that

2:32

That is not possible anymore. What would you recommend? Andrew, do you remember index cards? What do those look like again, Andrew, those index cards? I have no idea. I'm way too young to remember those. Well, maybe there is a digital version of that. The six by four index card. Okay, so the whole idea is that you want to have the kids create a way for them to study and remember facts and figures. Yeah. Okay.

What digital tools can help kids study and retain information?

3:01

Yes. You know, luckily there are apps and there are digital ways that you can do this that don't involve a cassette tape. Thank you. But you can still make a mixtape for us if you want. You know, I was just thinking about, remember when Frankie was in the studio? Yeah, I didn't even know what a mixtape was. Yeah, we had this guy working cameras, and Andrew and I were talking about mixtapes. And this kid, the kid looking at us, he's like going like, what? What are you? What is that? You recorded songs off the radio in real time? I mean, wow. And we were like, yeah, it was like a mixtape. Oh, what was a cassette? Yeah. And then we're all looking at each other like, we are that old. Yeah, unfortunately. There is an app called Quizlet.

3:50

And so you might want to look at Quizlet. There's a free version. It's pretty popular with kids. You can create virtual flashcards and do audio and video and things like that. You also have on your iPhone, you have the Voice Memos app. So it's sitting right there. You record notes organized by subjects.
