No Such Thing: Education in the Digital Age Are Chat GPT and Other Large Language AI Tools a Deathblow for Math Education?
Today's episode is about AI in Education, but more specifically we're talking to the guy I once designated without his permission, my New Math Therapist back in Episode 76. Dan Meyer and I talk in this episode about AI's relationship to teaching math.
Dan Meyer is the Chief Academic Officer at Desmos
Dan loves questions, the kind that rattle around in your brain at all hours, in the shower, etc. Math always had the most interesting questions for him as a kid. Then math education as an adult. He’s chased those questions through several continents, with thousands of teachers in talks and workshops, in a doctoral program at Stanford, finally landing at Desmos part time in 2012 and joining full time in 2015.
Dan Meyer taught high school math to students who didn’t like high school math. He has advocated for better math instruction on CNN, Good Morning America, TED.com and Everyday With Rachel Ray, and is the author of the dy/dan blog. He earned his doctorate from Stanford University in math education and is the director of research at Amplify, where he explores the future of math, technology, and learning. Dan lives in Oakland, CA.
