What if AI could help you teach students to think more deeply—not do their thinking for them?
Jasmine,
In our latest Think Differently and Deeply podcast, middle school science teacher Ryan Marklewitz shares research-informed strategies for using AI as a learning tool in your classroom.
"AI isn't destroying education, it's transforming our understanding of what education can be." — Ryan Marklewitz
Why implementation matters more than the technology itself
How AI buildsmetacognitive skills in students
Teaching students to ask effective questions (not just seek answers)
Why starting with "terrible questions" is brilliant pedagogy
Real classroom stories of students using AI to deepen understanding
Ryan completed his master's thesis on AI in education at the University of Virginia, and his insights could change how you think about this technology.
Here's the reality—students are already using AI. The question isn't whether to integrate it—it's how to teach them to use it as a learning tool rather than a shortcut.
