Learning Engineers at Work: AI, Authentic Assessment, and the Student Story w/ Dr. Fonz
Note sull'episodio
What happens when you think like a learning engineer? Dr. Alfonzo “Fonz” Mendoza Jr.—Doctorate in Educational Technology, host of My EdTech Life Podcast, EdTech Advisor district assessment coordinator—joins us to break down authentic assessment, the power of feedback, and how AI can support (not replace) great teaching. We dig into storytelling as evidence of learning, building systems that help students show what they know, and practical ways to collect meaningful artifacts without drowning in grading.
From classroom strategies to admin-facing advice, Fonz shares how to align goals, tasks, and tools—so technology actually serves the learning. If you’ve been wondering how to move beyond “using tools” toward designing better learning experiences, this episode is your blueprint.
