AI In Education - Myths
AI for Education Myths

Let’s talk about AI for education. It’s everywhere—buzzwords, big promises, and yes, plenty of myths. That’s why the recent webinar, "More Human Than Ever: AI Myths and Facts in Education," hosted by David Guzman, was so refreshing. David, an educator with over a decade of experience, broke down the misconceptions about AI and showed how it can make teaching easier, more creative, and more human. Here’s a quick recap of what we learned, what tools stood out, and how teachers can start using them right now.


Breaking Down the Myths About AI for Education


1. AI Will Replace Teachers

Teachers are irreplaceable. It’s their creativity, empathy, and ability to connect with students that make the magic happen. AI is just here to handle the busy work—think of repetitive tasks like formatting lesson plans or creating worksheets—so teachers can focus on the good stuff.


2. AI Does All the Work for You

AI can pull together great ideas and personalized content, but it won't do all the work for you. It’s still up to the teacher to tweak, adapt, and add their unique creative spin. AI is a helper, not the hero of the story.


3. AI Is Too Complicated

If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by tech, don’t worry—you’re not alone. The good news is that tools like Radius are designed to be simple. You don’t need to be a prompting expert to use them. In fact, they’re built to work seamlessly with what teachers already do.


Tools That Make a Difference

David shared some awesome tools that are helping teachers work smarter, not harder:


Radius is a lifesaver for lesson planning. Teachers type in a topic, and Radius generates a complete lesson plan, slides, and even activities. It’s not just fast—it’s good. Standards are built in, and resources are ready to use, which means less time planning and more time teaching.


Genecraft

Need visuals for a lesson? Genecraft creates custom images, which is great for making abstract topics more accessible to students.


Guide

This tool simplifies making instructional videos. Whether it’s for flipped classrooms or extra help, Guide makes video creation easy and polished.


Super Podcast

For audio-based learners, Super Podcast lets teachers create personalized podcasts. It’s an

inclusive way to reach students at different learning levels.


Okamind

Teaching is tough, and Okamind is here to help. It’s a mindfulness app that encourages teachers to take quick, restorative breaks during the day. Think of it as self-care made easy.


David’s biggest takeaway?

AI is a partner, not a replacement. Tools like Radius and Genecraft take the heavy lifting out of planning and prep so teachers can focus on what really matters—connecting with their students and delivering great lessons.
