Most education technologies are invited into schools, but generative AI crashed the party, and started rearranging the furniture. "The Homework Machine" is a mini series exploring the impact of AI on K12 education.
TeachLab is a podcast that investigates the art and craft of teaching. There are 3.5 million K-12 teachers in America, and we want to explore how they can become even better at what they do. Hosted by Justin Reich, MIT Professor and director of the MIT Teaching Systems Lab.

In a small classroom in western China, children once learned to sing and count in the language of their ancestors — Uyghur. Then the doors were locked, and founder Abduweli Ayup went from teacher to enemy of the state.
A study published a year ago suggests that ChatGPT and other generative AI hasn't led to increased cheating in K-12 schools. But maybe there's more going on than we realize.
Justin Reich and Jesse Dukes discuss their new preprint "Toward a New Theory of Arrival Technologies:
The Case of ChatGPT and the Future of Education Technology after Adoption" and let AI do the hard work of summarizing it.
We visit a school district offering two days of training to help teachers adapt to the arrival of AI in the classroom. It's GREAT, but that district is an exception.
The Arrival of AI powered tools like ChatGPT (now GPT4) in schools has generated concerns that students would use the tool to bypass cognition, or, “cheat” as we colloquially call it. And, it appears many students are doing just that.
By spring of 2023, most students with an internet connection had access to a new tool that could do much of their homework. We hear Justin’s keynote at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education about the arrival of generative AI in schools, from last fall. Then, Justin talks to Jesse Dukes about an ongoing TSL research project to understand teachers’, school leaders’, and students’ experiences of generative AI in schools.
Today we share another great episode from our friends at Upper MiddleBrow. As students, parents, and teachers happily (or wrenchingly) returned to school, Upper MiddleBrow invited TeachLab host Justin Reich to talk about stories with teachers. They identify many examples of bad teachers and bad teaching in fiction, and while film and TV often present sympathetic teacher protagonists, they wonder if the Great American Teacher novel is yet to be written.
Civics 101 is a podcast refresher course on the basics of how the U.S. government works, born from the brain trust at New Hampshire Public Radio and hosted by Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice. This is the second part in their series about the state of civic education in the US.
In this episode, TeachLab host Justin Reich joins the Civics 101 team to talk about how teachers choose what to teach, so-called "divisive concepts laws," and how we can approach disagreements without falling prey to "division actors."
