    AI in the classroom? Love it or hate it, it’s here to stay—and we’ve got thoughts. In this week’s episode of Teachers Off Duty Podcast, KC Mack, Bri, and Anna are cutting up as always while diving into the wild world of ChatGPT, Magic School AI, and all the ways artificial intelligence is shaking up teaching.

    From hilarious stories on the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour (including a teacher sliding KC a note mid-show!) to real talk about how AI can save time, grade essays, differentiate lessons, and even write IEPs, this conversation is equal parts funny and eye-opening. We’re asking the big questions: Should students be allowed to use AI? Are we becoming hypocrites as teachers? And how do we keep the “rigor” alive when ChatGPT wants to make every test multiple choice A?

    Plus, the crew shares their favorite AI tools for lesson planning, classroom hacks, and even how teachers are using AI to spice up professional development. By the end, you’ll be laughing, taking notes, and maybe rethinking how you use AI in your own teaching.

    Best friends, buckle up — this week on Teachers Off Duty we’re diving into one of the most controversial topics in education right now: cameras in the classroom. Bri, Jess, and Anna are spilling all the tea on the pros, cons, awkward moments, and downright hilarious possibilities of being filmed at work.

    From hallway fights caught on tape to the ultimate teacher “highlight reel,” we’re asking the big questions: Would cameras actually improve student safety and classroom management? Or would they make teaching feel like reality TV?

    Plus, we swap stories about the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour, childhood crushes on Steve from Blue’s Clues, awkward teacher moments, and why some subs might want a camera watching their back.

    Whether you’re for it, against it, or just here for the laughs, this episode will have you rethinking what “classroom observation” could really mean.

    For the first time ever, Bri, Jess, and Anna are together in the studio—and you already know it’s going to be unhinged in the best way. From fashion fails and meet-and-greet poses to the real tea on professional development, we’re sharing our funniest stories and most honest takes on what PD should look like for teachers.

    We’re talking about:

    • Low-rise jeans trauma
    • Meet & greet photo hacks
    • Why PDs should be led by veteran teachers
    • The power of teacher TikTok + TeacherGram
    • Crusty lips and jean jacket woes
    • Our favorite (and worst) PD experiences
    • Tangible takeaways we actually want
    • Why school culture matters more than note cards

    Plus, we reveal what districts are getting right, why professional development shouldn’t feel like punishment, and why laminating in the middle of a PD is… a bold choice.
