"Kids Can Read, They're Just Reading Differently": Teaching with Intention with Lisa Snow
Lisa Snow is closing in on 20 years in the English Language Arts classroom. Lisa and Lindy dig into the "kids can't read" narrative and ask whether standardized tests are actually measuring the kind of reading students do every day. Lisa walks through how she decides when tech in her AP English classroom is helping versus just taking up space, what it actually looks like to teach digital and AI literacy in a high school ELA class, and why her answer to "can kids use AI" is almost always "it depends." They also tackle the bigger question raised by proposed screen time restrictions in schools: is teaching kids to use technology responsibly a teacher's job, a parent's job, or both?
