In this episode of Ed Talk, hosts Stephanie and Tamyra revisit a timeless 1996 quote from Mr. Rogers regarding the role of technology in the classroom. As AI and digital tools become increasingly prevalent, Stephanie and Tamyra unpack what it truly means to educate children today.

They explore the critical distinction between technology as a helpful tool—like 3D printing and research engines—and technology as a replacement for human interaction. The conversation highlights why the teacher-student relationship remains the heartbeat of learning, emphasizing that education is not just cognitive, but social and emotional.
