299: Pursuing tech literacy in your homeschool Crystin Morris, a homeschool mom and founder of Delightfully Feasting , shares ideas on how to approach tech literacy in a homeschool environment. She provides practical guidance for integrating tech skills into everyday learning while maintaining a balanced, holistic approach. Key Tech Literacy Skills Kristen outlines three foundational skills that she believes every homeschool should prioritize: Navigation – Understanding and navigating digital devices and platforms. Digital Citizenship – Developing an ethical and moral compass for online interactions. Management/Stewardship – Learning to use technology wisely, balancing its benefits and potential drawbacks. Balancing Tech and Traditional Learning Crystin emphasizes that technology doesn’t have to be viewed as separate from traditional learning tools like books. She incorporates tech intentionally, teaching her children to value both tech and non-tech resources. This approach adapts yearly, with regular conversations and adjustments to meet her children’s developmental needs. Recommended Tech Resources Digital Citizenship Curriculum from Common Sense Media : Engaging, age-appropriate resources for teaching digital citizenship. Khan Academy : Quality resources on technology and online safety that Kristen uses in her own homeschool. Beginner-Friendly Tech Projects Crystin recommends coding as a great introductory project, as it offers an instant, rewarding experience for kids. She also encourages integrating videos, articles, and online resources as a normative part of homeschooling to show children the wide range of educational tools beyond physical books. Being Good Consumers, Not Just Creators Crystin stresses the importance of teaching children to be thoughtful consumers of tech content, not just creators. This means teaching them to curate their digital experiences, exercise discernment, and make intentional choices about what they consume online. Addressing AI with a Measured Approach Crystin advises homeschoolers to approach AI with “measured awareness” rather than fear-driven panic. She encourages parents to focus on what they can control, build familiarity with new technologies, and remember that every major technological advancement in history was met with initial concern. Links and Resources Common Sense Media’s Digital Citizenship Curriculum: Common Sense Media Khan Academy Tech and Safety Resources: Khan Academy Blog post with a list of resources that Crystin mentions A related post about using technology as a tool Post about irrationally fearing technology Where to find Crystin Visit Crystin’s website, Delightfully Feasting , for courses and tools: DelightfullyFeasting.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delightfullyfeastingpress/ Take a look at show sponsor, FundaFunda Academy to see what they offer for online classes and web-based unit studies.

298: Instagram’s New Teen Safety Features Upcoming Episode Celebration: Episode 300 is just around the corner! Tune in when it releases to enjoy freebies, discounts, and fun activities. Episode Highlights: Overview of Instagram’s New Safety Features for Teens Instagram has introduced several safety protocols for users aged 13-18, defaulting their accounts to private to limit access by unknown adults. Parental supervision settings vary for teens aged 13-15, while those aged 16+ have more autonomy but can opt for additional parental controls. Key Features Introduced by Instagram: Restricted Messaging : Teens can only message users they follow, which reduces the risk of unsolicited messages from strangers. Sensitive Content Filtering : Topics like mental health and other sensitive subjects are monitored, directing teens toward expert resources rather than peer advice. Time and Notification Limits : After 60 minutes of use, teens receive reminders, with a “sleep mode” between 10 PM and 7 AM to limit notifications overnight. Parental Control & Teen Feedback: Parents can now monitor messaging activity and restrict specific app use times. Challenges with Enforcement and Teen Workarounds: Instagram uses AI to identify potential age misrepresentation, flagging new accounts and suspicious behavior patterns. While these safeguards aren’t foolproof, they represent a step toward more secure use for teens. Resources and Additional Reading: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt for parents wanting more context on the effects of social media on teens. https://familycenter.meta.com/instagram-safety https://about.fb.com/news/2024/09/instagram-teen-accounts Take a look at show sponsor, FundaFunda Academy to see what they offer for online classes and web-based unit studies.

296: 10 Good Ways for Students to Use AI In this episode we look at 10 good ways for students to use AI. Last week, weshared 10 bad ways students might use AI. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode, check it out for full context, but you can also jump into this one first if you prefer. Highlights from This Episode: Reading Assistance AI can help students by simplifying texts to a more appropriate reading level. For students struggling with older texts or complex academic papers, tools like Magic School AI and Class Companion can translate or rephrase documents to make them more understandable. This is especially useful in subjects like history or literature where archaic language can be a barrier to comprehension. Editing and Feedback Students can use AI as a grammar and style editor. Tools like Grammarly and Class Companion can help identify grammar errors, improve sentence structure, and even suggest ideas for expanding a piece of writing. AI should act as a helper, much like a parent or teacher offering feedback. Idea Generation AI can help students brainstorm ideas for projects or essays. For example, if a student needs to create a slideshow on Argentina, it can suggest topics that should be included. Creating Images Instead of using images with unclear copyright restrictions, students can create their own AI-generated images. Studying for Tests AI can help students prepare for tests by generating practice questions and answers. Students can use it to quiz themselves, which can be particularly helpful when parents or teachers aren’t available to help with revision. Finding Resources AI tools like Perplexity can suggest credible resources for research projects or papers. Explaining Concepts AI can simplify complex ideas or explain concepts in various subjects, such as math, science, or grammar. Students can ask it to break down difficult topics or provide real-life examples to enhance understanding. Learning with Songs AI can create custom songs to help students memorize information. AI-generated songs can be a fun and engaging way for students to remember facts, particularly in subjects where rote memorization is needed. Coding and Debugging Help AI tools can help identify bugs and correct syntax. Task Breakdown AI can help organize ideas, giving structure to an otherwise overwhelming assignment. It can even create a timeline of a task to help keep students on track.. For a detailed exploration of these strategies and more, listen to the full episode.

295: 10 Bad Ways for Students to Use AI We explore “10 Bad Ways for Students to Use AI.” We’re focusing on how NOT to use AI tools. As AI becomes a major part of our children’s future, it’s crucial that we teach them the right ways to engage with it. Key Takeaways from the Episode: No Personal Information AI platforms may store data to improve models, so personal info shouldn’t be used. Students must avoid sharing sensitive details when using AI for tasks like essay feedback. Don’t Use AI as a Search Engine AI can give misleading or overly advanced answers. Students risk providing answers that don’t align with course materials, making it obvious when they cheat. Avoid Brainstorming with AI Using AI to generate ideas can lead to laziness. Encourage students to use their own creativity first, then consult AI for additional ideas if needed. Don’t Write Essays or Short Answers Using AI This is essentially cheating. Using AI to write homework defeats the purpose of learning and undermines integrity. Be Wary of Asking AI to Explain History AI-generated answers may come with biases or inaccuracies, so it’s better to consult multiple primary sources to form a balanced understanding. Don’t Use AI as an ‘Online Friend’ With AI bots integrated into platforms like Snapchat, it’s easy for students to rely on them for companionship. But real friendships with real people are essential. Don’t Seek Advice from AI For life’s challenges, students should turn to trusted adults, not AI. Encourage open communication with family or counselors instead. Avoid Using AI for Problem-Solving Right Away Encourage students to try solving problems themselves first, then turn to AI as a last resort. Developing critical thinking is important. Don’t Over-Edit with AI AI can help improve writing, but overuse can erase a student’s voice. Teach students to keep their work authentic, even with a few imperfections. Don’t Use AI for Creative Projects Relying on AI for creative tasks diminishes human creativity. Students should cultivate their own ideas and skills, experiencing the joy of creating something from scratch. Join the Conversation If you have other ideas on how AI shouldn’t be used, join the discussion in our Homeschooling with Technology Facebook community . Let’s learn from each other and help our children navigate AI responsibly. Tune in next week for 10 Good Ways for Students to Use AI !

Watching previous national Countdown rounds on YouTube can be helpful for preparation. Why Homeschoolers Should Consider MathCounts: MathCounts is a prestigious competition and provides a sense of community and teamwork. The competition is well-organized, and homeschoolers are welcomed and accommodated. The competition offers advancing levels, and for those who progress to nationals, travel and accommodation are covered. Pros and Cons of MathCounts: Pros: Prestigious and nationally recognized. Well-organized with clear rules. Great resources and support for coaches. Creates a sense of team spirit and community. Cons: High competition level: Students often train intensively with tutors. Not many students advance to higher levels (only four individuals and one team from each chapter). Time commitment required for both students and coaches. Other Contests Mentioned: Hayley also recapped the other contests discussed in previous episodes: Bebras, Noetic, and AMC 8, offering comparisons for homeschool parents looking for different math challenges. Resources and Links Mentioned: Visit the MathCounts website for more details and to access free practice materials. Check out videos of previous Countdown Rounds on YouTube for practice.

290: Math Contests Revisited In this episode of the Homeschooling with Technology podcast, we revisit the topic of math contests with guest Haley Story. This episode builds on Haley’s previous discussion from Episode 243 Math Contests , where she introduced listeners to the topic. Now, with a year of experience running multiple contests, Haley shares valuable insights on what works, what doesn’t, and how these contests can benefit homeschoolers, particularly those in middle school. Episode Highlights: Recap of Math Contests: Math contests are academic competitions that involve problem-solving and logic skills rather than traditional math problems found in school or on standardized tests. Benefits of participating in math contests include exposure to the fun side of math, development of test-taking skills, and opportunities to build community and friendships within the homeschooling community. Why Homeschoolers Should Consider Math Contests: Math contests can introduce students to academic competitions with less time commitment compared to other contests. Participation can help students develop resilience in competitive environments and realize that they may not always be the best, exposing them to a world of gifted peers. Important Considerations: Stress the difference between a competition and a test to avoid pressure on students to achieve perfect scores. Make the contests low-key and fun to ensure students enjoy the experience, with activities like game days or social events after contests. Let math contest days replace regular math assignments to avoid overwhelming students. Types of Students Who Thrive in Math Contests: Haley suggests that all students should try a math contest, but those who particularly enjoy logic puzzles, are motivated by competition, or have a strong interest in math will likely benefit the most. Math Contests Covered: Bebras Challenge : An international computational thinking contest with fun, interactive logic puzzles. It’s free, accessible to students from kindergarten through 12th grade, and an excellent introduction to academic contests. Noetic Learning Math Contest : A 20-question contest with a mix of easy and challenging problems, ideal for grades 2 through 8. This contest is offered twice a year and is perfect for group settings. American Mathematics Competitions (AMC 8) : A more challenging contest aimed at middle school students, the AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute multiple-choice exam that covers topics like algebra, geometry, and number theory. Haley describes the AMC 8 as ideal for students who are more serious about math competitions and looking for a national-level challenge. There is also an AMC10 and AMC12 for high schoolers Practical Tips for Organizing Contests: Form a homeschool group to register participants for contests like Bebras. Offer small prizes and participation awards to keep the contests enjoyable. For group settings, consider organizing a math club or circle to foster a sense of community among participants.

288: Search and Research in the AI era In this episode, we explore the evolving landscape of search and research in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). We reflect on the shift from traditional search engines like Google and Bing to the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other large language models (LLMs). We discuss the pros and cons of using AI for research, the importance of understanding source credibility, and the challenges of ensuring that students are accessing reliable information. AI in Search Engines: Search engines have used AI for years to tailor results based on location, search history, and preferences. However, AI’s role has grown with the introduction of tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and others that provide summarized information. Challenges with AI-Based Research: Unlike traditional search engines, AI tools often provide summaries without showing the original sources, which can obscure the origins of information. It is important to teach our children to verify sources and understand potential biases. Importance of Source Verification: Whether using traditional search engines or AI tools, it’s crucial to evaluate the credibility of the sources. Parents need to teach their children these skills. Google Scholar and AI Research Tools: For serious research, students can use Google Scholar, which focuses on scholarly articles. Also consider AI research tools like Research Rabbit and Elicit, which provide links to academic articles. Citing AI in Classwork: Since AI outputs are not consistent and lack original source material, students should avoid citing AI except when discussing AI itself. Teaching Search Skills: To avoid over-reliance on AI, teach effective search strategies. These skills are taught in show sponsor’s Computer Applications class , which is available in both live and self-paced formats. Resources Mentioned: Ditch That Textbook: Article on citing AI in classwork . Google Scholar: A reliable source for scholarly articles. AI Research Tools: Research Rabbit and Elicit. Computer Applications Class : Available with weekly deadlines / teacher-graded or self-paced / parent-graded, includes lessons on effective search strategies.
