Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A careful, evidence-first look at AI in schools that values caution over hype.
The discussion treats AI in education less like a trend and more like a problem of evidence, trust, and classroom fit. It keeps circling back to the same habit: start with the literature before deciding what AI is actually doing to learning.
A grounded look at Utah's teacher training for the AI era.
The episode stays on Utah's AI education push, and it works best when it slows down to the classroom level. The focus is on teacher training, lesson planning, accessibility, and the move from basic literacy to real AI fluency.

A clear look at AI in schools, treated as an ecosystem rather than a tool.
Kevin Shindell treats AI in education as something bigger than a classroom gadget. The strongest part of the piece is the Postman frame: technology changes the whole environment schools operate in, not just one assignment or workflow.
A practical look at how AI privacy debates turn into governance decisions.

["Peter Gregory says AI governance and privacy collide because many AI systems are trained on PII while laws expect companies to protect and delete that same information.", "He says his AIGP AI Governance Professional study guide grew out of an AI governance program he built after taking IAPP's course three times at an Alaska-based telecom where he was Senior Director of Cyber Risk and Compliance.", "The school examples are concrete: Gregory says districts keep grades, assignments, and test scores for years, some records for 100 years, and small populations are hidden behind 'less than 10' reporting rules.", "He argues that once a model is trained there is no simple way to remove one student's record, so teams should pseudonymize or anonymize data when they can and watch copyright and lawsuit risk around OpenAI, Anthropic, Getty Images, and Google."]
