In this episode Neil and Will sit down with Rachael Rankin, a lifelong educator in the Appalachian region and current Junior High and High School Principal of the Newton Falls Exempted Village School District in Trumbull County, OH. As an educator passionate about innovation in the classroom, Principal Rankin discusses the integration of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, in her own school system and what it has meant for her District and the Teacher's that serve the school system there. Take a listen as she talks about how fast moving the world of AI in education is and how important it was for her to implement AI policies. With ChatGPT being only the tip of the iceberg, there are many AI technologies that can be used by not only students but specific for teachers as well. Hear how she navigates the ethical dilemmas with AI in the classroom and what she recommends for school districts that are dealing with the ever changing AI environment in education. You might even hear Neil's stellar performance in predicting the winner's from last week and how he might use ChatGPT going forward. Also, don't forget the #AppBiz(s) of the week - the next seven businesses in our countdown to the 25 Days of (an Appalachian Small Business) Christmas!
