    I've seen a few talks like this that are centered around shifting from traditional learning to the inclusion of tech and it really does seem like the future of education. Hopefully we're implementing this on a large scale and not just leaving the underfunded schools behind

    • @patricklynchphd

      Technology has incredible potential to transform education, but equity in implementation is crucial. Coming from a family of public educators from teachers to administrators, we need to ensure that schools have access to these tools and the training to use them effectively. The future of education should be one where innovation benefits learner. I hope this will helps find a way.

      Creativity truly is a game-changer, and it’s exciting to explore how technology can enhance, rather than stifle, our creative potential. AI and other tools have the power to unlock new ways of thinking and problem-solving, and I believe placing creativity at the center of these conversations is essential for meaningful progress.

    Easy to understand the appeal here! Especially in terms of updating education. Think about what a students life outside of the classroom looks like and how dated it must feel for them inside the classroom

    • @patricklynchphd
      @patricklynchphd 23 дні тому

      Bridging the gap between students’ lives outside and inside the classroom is essential for keeping education relevant and engaging. By integrating tools like AI and immersive experiences, we can create learning environments that feel dynamic and aligned with the world students are already navigating every day. Thanks for sharing this great perspective.

      When I was preparing the TED Talk, it was difficult to choose a limited number of examples within the short timeframe. But absolutely it is. Another example I use in my workshops is how many of us still are glancing at our phones or a screen on the dashboard while driving. This is very inefficient and even dangerous. Instead, many cars now have displays that overlay the key information we need such as our speed and where to turn directly on the windscreen. Military pilots have used similar technology for decades. We are shifting from a "heads down" to a "heads up" society for education and training.

      That is a good example of how education has and is shifting. When I was preparing the TED Talk, it was challenging to select specific examples to share in the short time. But of course this is the way it was and is. In middle school, we were required to take typing lessons, in graduate school I had to show students what a computer mouse was, those kinds of things are no longer in most (any?) curriculums. So we must adapt and move forward with these tools to ask new questions and develop new competencies. Onward...

    I think this is really idealistic... maybe I'm out of the loop but I doubt everyone has access to these tools and not all industries are ready for this shift. I don't know like it sounds great and all but I think there are a lot of barriers to making this a reality

    • @patricklynchphd

      There are significant barriers-access, readiness, and systemic change are real challenges we need to address. I believe that recognizing these obstacles is the first step toward overcoming them. The talk was meant to inspire possibilities while also encouraging dialogue about how we can make these tools and approaches more accessible and practical for everyone. It’s a journey, but with collective effort, we can start to bridge those gaps.

      @patricklynchphd 3 місяці тому

      We have a ways to go for certain. This week at my university, we are hosting the EFMD Global Americas conference at our Hult Boston campus. Among the fascinating panels, consensus is that AI is here, growing fast, and now we need to embrace its benefits while also building on the unique value that humans (individuals, teams) bring to an organization or to a classroom. Starting small with a few lessons is a great step and, perhaps surprisingly, the AI bots can be used to help design these lessons I speak to in the talk based on learning objectives for classes.

    • @patricklynchphd
      @patricklynchphd 3 місяці тому

      I really struggled with the implementation early on. Yet I found using the bots helped me design lessons incorporating them. They do a good job drafting initial scenarios and even scripts, for example, and suggesting ways students can collaborate with the tools along the way. Starting small with one lesson plan may be a way to explore these possibilities.

    I think this approach to learning has a lot of potential, but I wonder how it would work for students who don’t have the confidence or social skills to engage in roleplay or immersive experiences. Would it be inclusive for everyone?

    • @patricklynchphd
      @patricklynchphd 23 дні тому

      You're absolutely right that not all students feel confident or comfortable with roleplay or immersive experiences, especially if they've been conditioned to more passive learning methods. Part of what I discussed in the talk is the need to shift the pendulum back from overly passive, isolated techniques toward active, collaborative learning-where new AI tools and immersive strategies can help us meet in the middle.
      C AI play a role in making these experiences more inclusive by tailoring them to individual comfort levels? For example, virtual simulations or AI-assisted roleplay can offer tailored, low-pressure environments for students to build confidence and skills at their own pace. Inclusivity is key, and the goal is to create a supportive framework where every student feels empowered to engage, grow, and thrive.

      Absolutely will inspire new solutions that we have yet to tap. As I covered in the talk, there are ways we can embrace these techniques even without high-tech solutions such as role-play and gamification. But I agree there are even greater options as the tech improves and gets more affordable. Not too long ago, few students had laptops, tablets, for example, but even my kid's schools supply these now. A bigger question for me is, will we use these tools appropriately to improve learning?

This has implications for future programs that either subsidize cost of access or educate or both. I believe there is converging evidence that we must remain open to continued learning about these technologies and find ways to reach wide populations to ensure we all keep rowing together.

For example, it can help educators experiment with new methods, make learning more engaging, and even reduce administrative burdens so they can focus on fostering creativity in the classroom. The evidence suggests employers will favor these skills and that sparks a shift toward more adaptive and learner-centered systems over time.

      It’s true that AI has the potential to disrupt low-complexity tasks, and it’s something we should address with care and foresight. Historically, innovations like machinery or the Internet initially displaced certain roles but ultimately created entirely new industries and opportunities. While the evidence shows this pattern of value creation over time, it’s important to focus on reskilling and supporting workers through transitions. By preparing for these shifts now, we can better ensure AI expands opportunity. Your perspective highlights why this conversation is so vital-thank you for contributing to it.
