S2 E5: Collaboration Catalyst
In this episode of AI Advocates, Lisa Dieker and Maggie Mosher explore the idea of AI as a collaboration catalyst in the classroom. Through a creative role-play scenario, they imagine Lisa as a high school English teacher working with students on a five-paragraph essay. They walk through how AI tools can assist with brainstorming, revision, feedback, and even peer collaboration—enhancing both the teaching process and student engagement. The hosts emphasize how AI can support critical thinking and streamline workflow without replacing the human connection that drives learning.
