This is part 3 of our 4-part series on screens, technology, and learning. In today’s episode, I’m joined by my client-turned-friend and founding Day in the Life (DITL) member, Emily Biolsi.
Emily is a former public school teacher with a master's in curriculum design and instruction who now homeschools her two young children with an unschooling, interest-led approach.
Like many of us, she found herself wondering: How do I keep track of all the rich, real learning we’re doing—especially without a curriculum?
Enter: AI.
Listen-in as Emily walks us through exactly how she’s been experimenting with AI as a tool for documenting learning in her homeschool.
She shares with us:
- How she sets up her prompts to reflect her children’s natural learning
- Ways she uses AI to organize learning for her homeschool portfolio
- How she asks AI to prompt her—building her own skills in spotting learning moments
- How to integrate the 90-Minute School Day framework into this reflection process
- What’s worked, what she’s still playing with, and why it’s all still grounded in human connection first.
This conversation is an invitation to think creatively about tools that might support your homeschooling.
If you’re craving more real-life stories and strategies like this, join us inside the Day in the Life (DITL) community. We continue these conversations weekly and store them in our growing member library.
Want to see what that feels like?
Come to our next Day in the Life Open House.
We’d love to have you.
