Jake (00:00):
In today's episode of the educational duct-tape podcast, the

(00:02):
listeners, otherwise known as theDuct Tapers share their thoughts,
tips, and strategies for encouragingand ensuring academic honesty in an
educational ecosystem that includes E I.
E I!?
E.
I EI O
What's wrong with me.
That includes AI, AI, artificialintelligence, not E I, I

(00:25):
don't know what that is./
Today's sponsor VIZOR kindof reminds me of my wife.
Okay.
Okay.
I know that sounds awkward, buthear me out on this one, I'm always
looking for something often it'sfood and I'm all like, "honey,
are we out of string cheese?"
And she's like,
No.
It's in the fridge.
And even though this is not thefirst time that I've played the

(00:46):
Jake can't find the food game.
I tell her that there is literallyzero string cheese in our fridge,
but then she comes walking over andis like, "it's right there, dummy."
Well, she doesn't say dummy, butI'm pretty sure she thinks it.
And otherwise that'sthe exact way it goes.
Well, VIZOR is just like that.
It also doesn't call me dummy.

(01:06):
At least I don't think it does, but italso knows exactly where that one thing
I'm looking for is you see VIZOR syncs upperfectly with the Google admin console
and your student information system.
So you can keep tabs on whichstudent has, which device, which
devices are out for repair and more.
And VIZOR comes with built in automations,like disabling stolen devices and power

(01:31):
washing devices faster than you could say.
"Where's the string cheese?"
Now for all of you educationalduct tape listeners, there's a
special deal waiting for you.
Head over to VIZOR.cloud/jakethat's V I Z O r.cloud/jake.
And you'll get specialpricing and some awesome swag.

(01:51):
Like a copy of my book, educationalduct tape again, VIZOR.cloud/jake.
Trust me, your future self will thank
you
I wonder if I can add those barcodes to my string.
cheese...

(02:12):
// Welcome in duck tapers.
For those of you who are newto the show, my name is Jake.
I'm an educator from Ohio.
And because you're listening tothis show, you are now a duct taper,
and that means that you believe inthe educational duct tape metaphor,
meaning you believe that educationaltechnology is at it's most useful when
it is not the goal of the lesson, buta tool used to solve a problem, meet

(02:36):
a goal or address a learning standard.
Similarly you believe that using ducttape is never one's goal, but it is
an incredibly useful tool when solvingproblems or helping you meet a goal.
So educational technology andduct tape are kind of the same,
hence educational duct tape.
So last week I released an amazingepisode with my friend, Molly Klodor.

(02:58):
And as I shared in that episodetoday is the day where we hear the
duct tapers, sharing their thoughtsabout what Molly and I discussed.
You'll hear some reactions to whatMolly and I shared as well as some
additions to the things we shared.
We'll be doing this every two weeks.
And I hope that if you didn't sharethis time, you'll share next time.
And I hope that if you did share thistime, you'll share again next time.

(03:21):
So next week you'll hear a regularinterview episode and then the following
week will once again be the duct tapers'chance to share their voices and wisdom.
Once again, I'll remind you how todo that when the time gets a little
near, but again, there'll be a rotationevery other week, one week will be
a new episode with an interview.
The following week will be achance for you guys to share

(03:42):
your thoughts on that interview.
Typically we'll talk abouta certain problem or goal or
need or whatever it might be.
And name two or three educationaltechnology tools or strategies
that can help with it.
And that won't be completethat won't cover all the bases.
So I'll be looking to you.
To fill in those gaps orto build on what we shared.
And so that's, what's goingto happen today in relation

(04:04):
to what Molly and I shared
recently.
Do you like winning?
I know you do so let's makethings fun with a little contest.
If you're excited about the return ofthe podcast or just today's episode,
or hearing yourself on the episodeor whatever it might be, here's your
chance to snag a free signed copyof my book, educational duct tape.

(04:24):
Here's how it works between now andlabor day here in the United States.
That is September 2nd.
Share the news about the podcast's comeback or this episode on social media.
Make sure your post is public andinclude the hashtag #EduDuctTape.
And if you see me pop in witha like, or a comment and you'll
know I've seen it and you'll knowthat I've added it to the contest.

(04:45):
If you're more of an emailer orprefer sharing in private groups.
Well, that works to just takea screenshot and send it over
to me at jake@jakemiller.net.
I'll get the screenshot and I'llenter you into the contest too.
So to recap, share about today's episodeor the return of the educational duct tape
podcast on social media with #EduDuctTape,or send me a screenshot of your share.

(05:11):
And then on labor day, I'lltake a break from my picnic.
I'll temporarily set my hotdogand cold beverage aside, I'll
gather up all those names.
I'll toss them into my trustee Clevelandguardians cap, by the way, Cleveland
guardians, number one team in baseball.
Right?
Right.
Maybe not number one, maybe the numbertwo right now, but they are amazing.
Jose Ramirez.
That's the man.
Anyhow, I'm going to takemy Cleveland guardians gap.
I'm going to put those names in itand I'm going to draw 10 lucky winners

(05:34):
who will get a signed copy of my book.
So good luck.
And thanks for spreading the word.
Okay, let's get to it withsome duct taper wisdom.
First up, we've got some insightsfrom one of my favorite educators,
Bryon Carpenter, Bryon hosts, apodcast called fresh air at five.

(05:57):
I highly recommend you check it out.
So every morning Bryon goes for a5:00 AM ish walk, listens to some
podcasts and then shares his insights.
He shares them first on X and thenonce a week or so he pulls them
together into a podcast episode.
And here are Bryon's thoughtson the return episode.
That's episode 1 0 7"Be like the Buffalo."

(06:18):
Take it away, Bryon.

Bryon Carpenter (06:22):
educational duct tape podcast is back.
Big thumbs up, jake.
Glad to hear your voiceon the airwaves again.
All right.
Your episode was entitled"Be Like the Buffalo."
There's a great analogy by Rory Vaderthat Jake brings to us about how cows
and Buffalo treat storms differently.

(06:44):
Buffalo head directly into the storm,whereas cows run away from the storm.
And so thank you, Rory Vader for thatanalogy, it's really helpful in our
time of educational technology changeand in our changing world of technology
that we do not run or hide from theemerging technology, but have a growth

(07:04):
mindset as we approach what's going on.
Specifically right now, we're talkingabout artificial intelligence.
It is coming to us like a hurricane,and if we, run away from it,
we're going to be engulfed in iteventually and have to deal with it.
But, it'll probably take us by surprisea lot more than if we take time to learn,

(07:25):
do some learning, and prepare for itscoming and its already here amongst us.
Thanks.
Bye./

Jake (07:32):
Thanks so much, Bryon, I love hearing your weekly
thoughts on the episodes.
I hope you keep listening and keep sharingthem on social media and in your podcast.
And I hope to continueincluding them here as well.
Speaking of social media with eachepisode, I've been curating some
quotes from the episode and sharingthem as little videos on TikTok and
Instagram and YouTube Reels and X.

(07:53):
You could hear them all.
If you follow me at @JakeMillerEdu,they're just snippets from the, podcast.
Nice ways to, find new listenersand for you to share a certain
segments that you enjoyed.
So make sure you'refollowing me @JakeMillerEdu.
No longer @JakeMillerTech.
It's @JakeMillerEDU.
Anyhow, one of those postsfrom the episode with Molly
prompted some interaction froman educator named Isaac Marquez.

(08:16):
you could follow him @iMarquezEDU.
it was a text post cause it was X,.
Although he can do audio on X,I guess, but anyhow, it was a
text post and I decided to usesome AI to give Isaac a voice and
spotlight his insights on the show.
I will say I won't normally runover to X and grab, communications
that I received there.
cause I can't go everywhere.

(08:36):
And I'll just go to the Padletand the SpeakPipe for audio.
But this time I wanted toshare and spotlight his
thoughts that he shared there.
So here we go.

Isᴀᴀᴄ Mᴀ́ʀǫᴜᴇᴢ (2): Hi, I am Isaac Marquez. (08:46):
undefined
A quote from the episodewith Molly made me think,
can AI be used for cheating?
Depends on what weconsider cheating I think.
AI is a tool that’s herewhether we like it or not.
It’s up to us as educators to teachSs how to effectively use this new
tool to improve their learning.
Just as we do with anyother educational tool.

/ Jake (09:09):
So when I saw that, post from Isaac, by the way, I wanted so badly
to call it a tweet right there, butI'm trying to follow Elon's rules here.
Can I just call it a tweet Elon, please.
Anyhow, I saw Isaac's post.
I really wanted to replyto it and I replied.
Isaac.
I think they certainly are cheating,but as you and we kind of talked about
them with Molly, that we know theywere before AI and now they still

(09:31):
are kind of to the same degree or atleast the same amount of students.
but as he alluded to, we needto clearly set that boundary
of what is and is not cheating.
More importantly, I told him, I agree withyour second point, we have to accept this.
Adapt to it and use it forgood to which Isaac responded.
/Isᴀᴀᴄ Mᴀ́ʀǫᴜᴇᴢ (2): Oh absolutely if they are presenting original AI

(09:52):
work as their own, that is not ok.
But if they’re taught to use AI as acollaborative partner in specific ways to
help develop their own ideas, then I thinkthere’s room for that in the classroom.

Jake (10:05):
I am absolutely loving having these discussions with folks.
So I hope Isaac continues toreach out after episodes and
after videos that I share.
But I also hope that you do too.
And the nice thing with the Padlet thatI'm using for the show is that on Padlet,
you can comment with audio message.
So instead of me and Isaac typing back andforth, and then me turning his voice into.

(10:25):
AI audio.
And in me rereading themessage I sent there.
We could have just communicated viaaudio messages and that I could have
just showcased that whole conversation.
And it could have been with other people.
I could have aired that entire threadedconversation right here in this episode.
So please hop on there and connectwith other learners . That's
EduDuctTape.com/padlet.

(10:46):
Next I'd like to share some thoughtsfrom Nicholas Marohl and Nicholas.
I apologize if I'm pronouncing that wrong.
but after the first episode heshared a drawing, he made about
Buffalo and cows and storms.
And then after the secondepisode, he shared some text
reflections on the Padlet.
So here they are an AIgenerated audio form.
Again, this isn't Nicholas' voice.
He shared text using AI here togenerate the audio for Nicholas.

Nicholas (11:10):
I am so happy that both of you said that AI should be allowed
in the classroom and schools.
AI is a tool that can be used inconjunction with the students' learning.
I am currently working as a secondgrade teacher in a title one school.
Just last year I found out about Magicschool Ai and it changed a lot of how
I did my lesson planning as well asgiving me ideas for a ClassDojo post.

(11:34):
It is very true that the AI does notgive thorough ideas, but when you are
able to write a very concise promptthe information is vastly different.
I found out about a magic school forstudents, and immediately tried to
get my students on it for them to tryout during our intervention block.
However, my school technology coachblocks a lot of the AI apps because

(11:57):
she thinks students will misuse them.
I've been wanting to go to her with thequote about the cows and the buffalo.
A way that I get around this ishaving the students use Canva
and there are many AI tools thatthey can use for image creation.
One day I had the students createtheir own coloring pages to
have over the winter holiday.

(12:17):
Can't wait to hear more on the podcast!
/ Jake: Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Nicholas.
I will say it's tough being aschool's technology coach or
director or specialist right now.
These tools are risky.
They're scary.
And there are things that we haveto be super careful about with AI.
And that's part of what I meanby being like the Buffalo.

(12:38):
Don't just run forward into dangerblindly; face the storm, consider
the options, look at the informationand make informed decisions, but.
Don't run from it either.
Right?
So in this situation, that meansthat you can't block all AI, but you
certainly have to block some AI, right?
And implementation plans are wise to,how are you going to scaffold this in?

(13:02):
You can't just start with it all on.
How are you going to scaffold it in?
Uh, but I think that part of what youmentioned there really made me think
about something that Molly and I talkedabout there, which with this technology
coach that you work with, when we saykids will misuse this, They might right?
Their kids, right?
That that's human nature for children.
And for teenagers, I think you said youteach second grade, but that's all ages

(13:23):
of children are going to misuse thing.
And that doesn't meandon't let them use it.
It means help them learnto use it appropriately.
If they're not ready to dosomething, that means they need
professionals like a technology coach.
And a second grade teacher to helpthem learn how to use it appropriately.
Right?
So don't just run awayfrom it, use it , right?.

(13:45):
And help them use it.
Okay.
Up next.
We've got some examplesof how folks are using AI.
We had a little example therefrom Nicholas at the end about
those coloring book pages.
First example is from Eric Guiseof the ed tech throw down podcast.
Big fan of that show.
I'm excited to say that Eric and hiscohost, Nick are going to be guests
here on educational duct tape in thenear future for now, though, let's hear

(14:08):
about one of Eric's favorite AI uses.

Eric Guise (14:11):
Hey, what's up everybody.
This is Eric Guise from theEdTechThrowDown podcast.
Long time, EduDuctTape listener.
First time EduDuctTape space poster.
I guess it's Duct Taper, spaceposter, but this is my first time.
And, what I decided I was going to do issince I binge listened to, Jake's, two

(14:33):
episodes, I'm going to binge post here.
And, Do a little mashupbetween episodes 107 and 108.

Be like a buffalo (14:41):
that was awesome I am a country kid.
I grew up around several farms and wehad cows and anytime there was a rain
Thunderstorm, whatever they would justlay down and I always thought because
they wanted to You know, keep theirunderside, dry, their bellies dry.
But, I will tell you this.
If I was going to war, I woulddefinitely pick the Buffalo.

(15:03):
They're crazy.
It sounds crazy.
So run into those storms.
I'll be by your side.
I say to the dear Buffalo.
But, episode 108 with Molly was awesome.
got me really thinking about AI usage.
we spent a lot of time at school,Nick, my cohost and I, and another
gentleman by the name of Jeff, comingup with some suggested policies for

(15:27):
schools, our school in particular abouthow we're going to roll out AI and
get, clear communication out there.
As to how it should be used orhow it can be used in education.
So this, episode was awesome just becauseit got me thinking about that after
I took pretty much the whole summerand, spent it with family, friends,

(15:50):
sporting events, and things like that.
I tried to, Just, get away fromtechnology, but I'm loving the fact
that I'm getting back into it andI'm loving that these two episodes
are making me reflect on whatI'm going to do this year with my
practice, especially with AI usage.
So I just wanted to share one thingI'm going to app smash little bit.

(16:10):
I'm trying to find ways that I can,make my grading and my feedback and
personalized feedback a lot quicker.
And, one of the classes that I teach,I'm a science teacher originally, but
I also now, teach technology courses.
And one of the courses I teachis called world ready technology,
introduction to podcasting.

(16:31):
So our students podcast in this, Andit takes a long time to listen to
their episodes, give them meaningfulfeedback . And then also a grade on top.
So I wanted to take a look at MagicSchool because that was suggested.
to see if there's something inthere that I could use to help
me grade these podcasts in ameaningful way for my students.

(16:52):
So rubric generator is one of myfavorites and it allows you to
basically just type in a prompt andit's going to kick out a rubric.
Alright, so in here you would putthe grade level, how many points,
the standard, or the objective,and then the assignment detail.
I just said students should be ableto plan, record, edit, and publish
an episode, and then I used thatfor my assignment description.

(17:17):
And, I went ahead and hitgenerate, and it came up with this
rubric that is, and it's basic.
It's to the point.
I can easily go in and editthis, which I will do later.
But for now, I'm just going to hit copy.
All right.
So, Instead of doing this for each andevery one of my episodes that I have

(17:38):
to grade for the students, it would becool if there was a way that I could
just type in a shortcut, and this rubricwill automatically show up in our LMS
or wherever it is that you go grade.
So, I use another thing called TextBlaze.
This is a Google Chrome extension.
And, you can make thesethings called snippets.

(17:59):
So think of snippets as templates.
Uh, you make whatever template you want.
And you come up with a shortcut for that.
So every time you add this shortcutwhile the extension is running into
any space where you could type suchas a Google, doc or a comment within
a Google doc or Google form space.

(18:21):
Or an email or anything like that.
This is going to show up and it allowsfor the grading piece to easily be
communicated through a visual rubric.
Uh, underneath that, then I can add acouple of comments, a couple of you did
these well, or this is something I wantyou to work So if we go into, Any type

(18:44):
of Google doc or anything like that.
And as long as the TextBlazeextension's running, you could easily
just type in the slash and thenwhatever the shortcut snippet is.
And then from there you can get clever,um, you know, bold, whatever you want
to bold, or you can change the color toshow where they fell within the rubric.

(19:06):
And then at the bottom, youcan enter your comments.
So, this is something that I'm goingto implement into this year to make
the grading on my side easier, quicker,faster, and more meaningful, personalized,
and also, If I make this the norm in theclassroom, the students will get used to
it as well to go look there for feedback.
So I hope this use of AI, thesetools help you in any way.

(19:31):
There are several ways that you canimplement AI into your teaching practice.
That's going to make things morerun a lot more smoothly, and I
think the students will appreciatethe extra mile that you go to show
them this personalized feedback.
Jake, love what you're doing.
Keep it up.
It's always a blast tolisten to your episodes.

(19:54):
I'd love more Piggie andGerald references if you can.
I would appreciate that, but I hope youhave a great start to your school year./

Jake (20:05):
Thank you so much, Eric, great hearing you on the show.
Can't wait to feature you and Nick ona future episode and maybe who knows
in that episode will work in some,uh, elephant and Piggie references for
those of you who noticed his referenceof, uh, Gerald and piggy from the Mo
Willems books, big fan of Mo WIllemsand those elephant piggy books.
And I referenced it at some point in time.
I think that was in a, I'm not evensure, but Eric and I bonded over

(20:28):
our love of elephant and Piggie.
You might've been listening to Eric, speakthere and thought like, goodness, I wish
I could see what he's doing right now.
I wish I could see what he's doingwith that TextBlaze Chrome extension
to paste in this rubric that hemade in MagicSchool into his LMS.
Well guess what?
Eric posted it as a screencast.
So head over to the Padletthat is EduDucttape.com/padlet.

(20:52):
And you could see a videoof what Eric was doing.
That's the beauty of this Padlet folks.
That's why I'm doing this andthis new iteration of the podcast.
Not only can we share our voices, notonly can we share our input and our
perspectives and our thoughts, we can alsoshare videos and show each other things.
They won't show up in the podcast because.
You can't really do a screencastfor your ears, but you can go see

(21:13):
exactly what he was doing in there.
Uh, by the way I'm very curious aboutthis TextBlaze Chrome extension.
Eric.
I've never used it before I use Prokeys, there was the one I used to
use too before that, but I also lovethe ability to use a certain keyboard
shortcut and have some texts thatI use regularly pop right in there.
And what a cool idea to develop arubric using AI to save yourself
time and then save yourself time,inserting it in the future too.

(21:36):
How cool is that right?
So Eric used one thing thathe heard about in the episode,
which was magic school.
Next, we've got two more educatorsthat were inspired by some of
the specific things that Mollyand I discussed on the show.
And they told me a little bit aboutit on these messages on the Padlet.
First up is Cindy who shared abouta few specific tools that she.

Cindy (21:55):
Jake, I was so glad to see that the podcast is back.
I missed, hearing you and thanksfor the most recent episode.
Some notes I took, um, magic school.
I need to look into it more.
I just dipped my toe in it,but you guys talking about
it renewed my interest in it.
I didn't think of using Googlearts and culture as an AI example.

(22:17):
And I think that would be a good wayfor the younger kids to get used to AI
and understand how some of that works.
Um, I liked your throwback to draft back.
I had stopped using it oncerevision history was introduced,
so thanks for the memories.
And also thank you for encouragingteachers to have a growth mindset
when it comes to learning and actuallyusing and understanding AI, because

(22:39):
I think that's really important.
So thanks again for bringing back thepodcast, and I really enjoyed these
first couple episodes this season.

Jake (22:47):
Thank you, Cindy.
I am glad that you are glad that Iam back and I am glad that I am back.
And I'm glad that you shared, and I'mglad to share your share right here.
So Cindy was inspired to diginto magic school and Google arts
and culture after the episode.
Up next.
We've got Vicki Heupel and she was alsoinspired to try out magic school - That's
three people in a row for magic school.

(23:09):
You're welcome magic school.
I'll be expecting acheck in the mail soon.
Not really.
I'm just kidding.
Uh, after hearing Molly talkabout it, Vicki decided to give
one specific feature, a try.
Let's hear what she shared thisalso, by the way, is an AI generated
audio as Vicki shared using text.
Um, so this is not Vicki's real voice,this is AI generated audio, by the way,

(23:30):
I don't mind using the AI generatorto bring your text to life folks, but
I'd love to hear your actual voices.
So anyhow, here is AI generated Vicki.

Nancy (23:39):
Thanks to the Educational duct tape podcast I took Molly Klodor's
advice and went back to check outmagic school ai for a 2nd time.
I noticed their "create a table"feature called Data Table Analysis.
For me as a science teacher, thereare never enough tables, graphs, and
charts that you can use to help studentpractice analysis and still have

(23:59):
extra items to use for assessments.
Although the magic school AI tablesaren't "perfect" or fancy, having more of
them on a variety of topics quickly andeasily at my disposal will give me great
resources to use to get students thinkingabout how to ask better investigative
questions, how to make conclusionsfrom data, and how to analyze data.

Jake (24:20):
Thanks Vicky.
There are so many features in MagicSchoolthat I actually have not seen them all.
And I had never noticeddata table analysis and wow.
That's super handy.
Back when I taught math and science,I often looked for data sets to use in
class, and I didn't always have the bestof luck or I did find some stuff, but then
I had to format it into a table or I foundit, it took me a really long time to find

(24:43):
it and I had to clean it up or whatever.
It was never convenient.
Um, and so it would have been reallynice to have a quick, easy way to
generate some data tables and wow.
Vicki just found the way.
because you can make a table ofactual data on just about anything.
I tried it out.
I made a table of the most successful rapartists and the highest scoring basketball

(25:03):
players and all kinds of different things.
Uh, I will say it doesn't show itssource for the data, which bums me out.
I wish it cited the source., butfrom what I can tell, at least
the data is legit, so that's good.
Finally, I have one last share to share.
And it brings the episode fullcircle as it's from the same person.
That was the first share of the episode.
Here is Bryon Carpenter's reflectionsfrom episode 1 0 8, which as I

(25:27):
said earlier, also appears inhis fresh air at five podcast.
/Bryon Carpenter: Hey Jake.
Reflecting on episode 108 of Youreducational duct tape podcasts.
you talked with Molly about academichonesty in our age of ubiquitous
AI and just for me, just hearingthe word ubiquitous AI, that just

(25:51):
brings to light that it is waymore places than we think it is.
I've seen it in, uh,you know, Google photos.
I've seen it in, Places like, Twitter.
I think I've seen it there.
I've seen it in Instagram.
It's in Facebook, um, different placesand social media platforms that we use.

(26:12):
That's not even educationalstuff, you know?
And so, , that to me right there, thatjust talks about the invasiveness.
and not in a bad way, you know?
Uh, we can look at it as a bad way.
Look at it as an alien invasion.
but it's not that.
It is The fact that we have this tooland we need to figure out how to use it.
Going to Home Depot, looking at that brandnew tool scares the crap right out of you,

(26:36):
you know, because you don't understand it.
So thank you, Molly and Jake, for yourthoughts on artificial intelligence,
academic honesty in our age ofubiquitous AI, you know, looking at.
How we do our job as teachers andpedagogy, and you know, students are going
to cheat, and we have to be aware thatthey're going to do that, and we have to

(27:00):
