I’ve been researching technology and its pros and cons and thought I’d share some of the “aha’s” I’ve had about Artificial Intelligence. People have calmed down a little about AI, but when ChatGPT first came out, there were so many fearful posts and articles. I know there is still a lot of misunderstanding and confusion about it.
If we look back at history, there have been many times when new innovations are vilified because people don’t know how to use them effectively. Once we get over that hump, they just become normal. Just in my lifetime, I’ve seen computers, the internet, and cell phones change the way we live.
When it comes to education, AI is something homeschoolers can embrace. Hopefully other education systems will eventually, because whoever does, will give their kids a distinct advantage! Learn a bit more about AI in this week’s episode!

My son and I attended a TEDx yesterday, and I found a theme running through most of the presentations – the importance of taking risks. Have you ever gone to a TEDx?

This week I spoke to Kristina Heagh-Avritt and Kitti Andrews. These two amazing women are experts in their fields and are teaming up to help put your home and school in order.
I don’t know about you, but the idea of having to teach upper-level math to my kids made me question our decision to homeschool. It didn’t STOP me. I decided I would figure it out when I got there. But math was not my favorite subject. Teaching it to little kids is fun! “How many red M&Ms are there? What happens if we eat 2?” type of math I can handle no problem. And then we throw in the non-traditional learner, and the math gets even more challenging to teach! My three older kids could take a textbook and learn whatever (even if they didn’t like it), but my youngest two, especially with math, needed something different. And, to be honest, I wish I had been able to do better in math with all of them.

The things that really impressed me about Connor are his commitment to helping parents and transforming education. He shares how he is doing this in our conversation and much more!
