In this episode of The We Are All Awesome Show, powered by WiddyUP, Randy and Carter sit down with Chris Agnew, Director of Generative AI for Education at Stanford's Education Hub. Chris shares his 25-year journey from outdoor classrooms to tech-enabled learning environments, shedding light on how generative AI can unlock powerful, equitable, and immersive education experiences once reserved for the elite. His work bridges groundbreaking research with real-world practice to help school system leaders implement AI policies that support students and educators alike.
Chris also dives deep into the evolving role of credentials in today’s workforce. From apprenticeships at companies like Verizon to digital badges that reflect real-world skills, Chris discusses how educational pathways must shift to remain relevant in a world where YouTube, TikTok, and AI tools like ChatGPT offer self-driven alternatives. It’s a candid, high-energy conversation about the future of learning, access, and innovation.
