In this episode we debrief the Katbot experiment to date and talk about Katbot's new reality: she has her very own phone number!   Our hosts consider the transformative potential of digital twins in enhancing self-awareness, empathy, and innovative problem-solving. The speakers explore how engaging with AI can provide insights into personal identity and communication, while also addressing the ethical implications of such technology. They discuss the importance of critical thinking and creativity in education, the role of digital twins as assistive technology, and the need for educators to curate meaningful learning experiences.    Connect with Tricia and Kathleen via www.unhingedcollaboration.com We also are excited to tell you more about: Becoming a Digital Storyteller: a 4-week online course designed to equip you to be a storytelling, advocacy, and active global citizenship coach for your students. It's also designed to support you in designing innovative, process- and project-based assessments that are rooted in deep listening and human connection. PreK-12 students love creating digital products that have purpose and that can become part of local and global conversations about how we care for ourselves, others, and the planet. Interested? Join LeeAnne's next "Becoming a Digital Storyteller" cohort by Friday, October 4th! The course involves four asynchronous online modules and two Zoom calls with a cohort of like-minded educators.
