AI isn’t here to replace educators; it’s here to support us. In this episode, Carla sits down with Thomas Thompson, co-founder and CEO of Eduaide.Ai, to explore how AI can help teachers and early childhood educators work smarter, not harder.

From lesson planning and accommodations to game-based learning and productivity, Thomas breaks down how AI tools can save time, reduce burnout, and help educators focus on what truly matters: building connections and supporting children’s learning.

Whether you’re tech-curious or tech-cautious, this conversation will reframe how you think about AI in education.

Thomas Thompson

Thomas is a​ co-founder​ and the CEO of Eduaide.Ai, where he studies how people learn and how teachers make instructional decisions.
