Dear Valued Listener/Viewer,
In this episode of ‘Get Inspired with Dr. Barb’, I interview Jess Toft, an educator and advocate for using AI in education. We discuss the importance of improving children’s experiences in education, the challenges of bullying in modern schools, and the innovative platform Bully Buddy, designed to support students, teachers, and parents in addressing bullying. Jess shares her personal journey in education, her insights on the nuances of bullying, and how Bully Buddy aims to empower users by documenting incidents and providing support. The conversation highlights the potential of AI to enhance mental health support in educational settings without replacing human professionals.
