Practical insights on using AI to support teaching, learning, and student thinking.
As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday classroom experience, educators are being asked to respond—thoughtfully and effectively.
In this conversation, JFYNetWorks explores what responsible, practical AI integration can look like in real schools today.
JFYNetWorks recently announced the launch of its AI Professional Development Sessions, a new program designed to help Massachusetts school districts integrate artificial intelligence into teaching, learning, and school leadership.
The program provides hands-on training and practical implementation strategies for educators, administrators, and instructional leaders seeking to understand and responsibly apply AI technologies in K-12 education.
Recently, JFY’s executive director, Gary Kaplan, discussed the professional development sessions with the two creators, Mike Mino and Eileen Wedegartner, and they are featured in today's podcast.

AI That Amplifies the Teacher’s Voice - JFY AI Podcast
NOVEMBER 2025 PODCAST -- Exciting information about JFY's upcoming professional development courses and AI tools are detailed in this podcast as we explore how artificial intelligence can support teachers and students, helping them become better prepared for post-secondary education, career opportunities, and civic life in an increasingly unpredictable future.
PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS
[23:10 – 23:51] "Computers, people have called that kind of innovation and adopted technology, meaning that people had to decide they were going to use it. It was offered to them, the box was sitting out on the doorstep, but they had to make the decision to take that box inside, open it up, and then figure out how to use it. Artificial Intelligence is a whole different thing, it's been called an arrival technology, which means that it's just there. The computers are already there; all the infrastructure of technology has been installed in schools over the past 25 years so it's all there and the various functions of our of artificial intelligence are just present." – Gary
[6:53 – 7:16] "We were able to build a system together where we could take a whole class worth of essays put it into the system and get feedback based on teacher input and based on the rubric so that teachers could help students improve their writing by giving them feedback quickly." – Eileen
[18:17 – 18:33] "The course is focused on what's called the Creative Edge and it’s sort of a course for both vocational and regular classroom teachers but it's focused on the use of AI as a creative medium and as a tool to introduce students to jobs of the future." - Mike
