I’m messing around with the nexus of teaching mastery learning, AI, and entrepreneurship. Don’t know what I’m figuring out, but happy to share the journey!

We all know the #education system isn't perfect.
Pointing fingers doesn't help.
It's not the administrators.
It's not tech companies.
It's not the #teachers.

We don't matter.
The student experience matters.

We can only deliver a relevant experience
Through experimentation and communication.
I love putting student voice front and center.

Yes they are using AI.
No, we have no clue to what extent.
Because we are not being transparent.

This is a great read (link in comments), but I have one bone to pick with Owen.

It has taken higher ed two full years to grasp that LLMs are not about academic integrity but rather a challenge to fundamental structure of todays colleges and universities.

Mentoring students is by far the most imapctdul and enjoyable part of my job.

Mentor or meander would be amazing way to evaluate faculty - definitely time to update publish or perish (of even better yet to get rid of tenure altogether!)

Half of college students say professors should be mentors
Over half of students believe their professors are at least somewhat responsible for being a mentor to them. Faculty weigh in on the feasibility of this effort.

Check out ElevenLabs conversational #AI

How might this be useful in higher education?

prospect interactions.
student advising.
PD mentoring.
class FAQs.
tutoring.

How else could you see this being implemented in education to enhance the student experience?

What if we could rebuild “education”?

What would the foundation be?

Empathy.
Storytelling.

That’s it.

From those come everything good.

Through those we end everything bad.

And with those we figure out the difference.

Students struggle with confidence.
It is an epidemic far beyond AI.

I’ve seen a consistent decline in my students over 15 years.

Not sure why, but a large part of it is that before they get to me they are trained to wait.

Good teachers don't deliver content.
They empower students to grow.
They inspire curiosity.
They foster resilience.

🚨 Remember:
A disengaged student needs your encouragement to reignite

What’s your go-to strategy for keeping students engaged?
Let’s share ideas below! 👇

Students should start messy.
Not perfect.

As entrepreneurship teachers,
We see students wait to begin
Unless their idea feels "perfect"

But perfection stifles progress.

How do you encourage your students to experiment boldly?
I'd love to hear your thoughts 👇

A moment of kindness
Can change a student's life.

Empathize with their situation
(Remembering when you were a student?)

AI can get students past the blank page.

But is that necessarily a good thing?

Yes, if a student would be so hampered by the blank page that they’d never write.

No, if that blank page was necessary for their creative process.

Nothing is a win-win.

It’s all a tradeoff.
