Ep 234Beyond the AI Inflection Point: Preparing Education for What Comes Next
Artificial intelligence continues to evolve at a pace that challenges educators and leaders to think not only about what AI means today, but where it may take us in the years ahead. In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, host Andrew Easton sits down with Matt Winters, Artificial Intelligence Specialist at the Utah State Board of Education, to explore how futures thinking can help education systems prepare for the opportunities and risks emerging alongside AI. Their conversation spans everything from the rapid evolution of generative AI tools to the deeper questions about learning, assessment, and the balance between process and product in the classroom. Matt also shares insights from national collaborations examining how AI may shape education over the next three to five years—and why thoughtful leadership, collaboration, and policy work will be essential as schools navigate both the promise and the “big scary” implications of this technology. Whether you're a classroom educator, school leader, or policymaker, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how we can work together to navigate the changing landscape of AI in education.

Ep 233Differentiation at Scale: How AI Can Strengthen MTSS and Student Engagement
In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, we welcome back Nebraska native Trevor Goertzen, Regional Vice President at SchoolAI and former teacher and principal, for an honest and practical conversation about artificial intelligence in schools. Two years after our first discussion, Andrew and Trevor reconnect to explore how the national conversation around screen time, technology rollback, and AI integration has evolved and what that means for educators today. Rather than chasing headlines or hype, this conversation focuses on: What intentional technology use actually looks like in classrooms Why AI should be viewed as a tool to get to the thing, not the thing itself How AI can support differentiation, MTSS, and Tier 2 interventions The importance of teacher-designed, teacher-controlled AI learning environments Why good pedagogy still matters more than any platform How leaders can thoughtfully introduce AI into their districts The power of AI as a thought partner for administrators and educators Trevor shares practical classroom examples — from structured learning “agenda steps” to multilingual support and small-group differentiation — demonstrating how AI can expand what’s possible without replacing the human relationships at the heart of teaching.
