We drop this special episode in honor of our recently completed Spring Conference at Polar Park in Worcester, home of the Worcester Red Sox. Some familiar faces drop by the podcast, including MassCUE Board member TJ Carron, and MassCUE SIG Leader Mike Tinker, as well as JFY Networks Gary Kaplan talking about a brand new AI tool used to assess student writing. Play ball!

Thank you for checking out our Better Together virtual panel discussion, AI: Impact on Education, featuring educational organizations from across the Commonwealth. We hope you will enjoy the discussion. As we said during the event, this is just the beginning of the conversation about AI in education and we look forward to learning and growing along with our members and partner organizations.

If you would like to refer back to anything that was discussed or share the conversation with another educator, you can find a recording of the event on our website.

• MassCUE Spring Conference at Polar Park on May 31 and June 1

• Getting Started with AI: Tools for K-12 Educators on May 1 and May 8
