    Wendy,

    Unfortunately, lifelong learning doesn’t always translate to openness to new ideas. In my experience, educators (like many professionals) tend to stick to familiar paradigms until change becomes unavoidable. I still know educators teaching how to write checks while avoiding online banking literacy altogether. Why not teach both? Is that stubbornness? Discomfort with unfamiliar systems? Something in between?

    I’m not out to convert anyone into embracing AI. But I do think those of us who are receptive should keep moving forward and exploring what’s possible.
