Phil Harding was the first technologist to bring the internet to the schools in Val Verde, California in 1992. Ever since, he's been on a quest to put the latest technology into the hands of his teachers and students: email, file fetching, Google classroom, iPads, and today, the AI digital assistant for teachers. He went to Google and Alexa at first, but ran into roadblocks along the way. He almost gave up, until he met Merlyn Mind. Harding sits down with host, Levi Belnap and two other district and state California administrators, David Culberhouse and Geoff Belleau to talk about the considerations, challenges, and broader economic impacts of setting up an AI assistant for the classroom.
