In this episode of the Integrate This EdTech Podcast, David Berner and Jeremy Mikla talk with Ken Shelton about AI in education, academic integrity, and why artificial intelligence creates such strong reactions in schools. Ken explores how fear, uncertainty, and the SCARF model help explain resistance to AI, why educators must strengthen AI literacy and media literacy, and how schools can create more thoughtful policies, professional learning, and communication around emerging technology. This conversation is packed with practical ideas for school leaders, teachers, and instructional coaches who want to approach AI with curiosity, clarity, and a focus on student agency.
