It’s been a wild ride this semester! It was hard for Rahima and I to pin down the highlights of this semster but below is our final thoughts. We want to say thanks to all our classmates and to Dr. Alec Couros. Even though the class was online I felt like we had a great […]
This week we had our final debate with the gifted: Rokhsareh & Hanieh, and George & Kanwal. Their topic was Will AI Technologies Revolutionize Education for the Better? This was an interesting topic because I feel like it is really too early to say for sure. On one hand I think that AI tech can […]
In this week’s debate we got to hear from the talented groups: Amanda & Jacquie, and Ramsel.

Will and Mike had a pretty snazzy video which was quite impressive, while Catrina and Janeen wisely opted out of using tech for […]
