  AI as a Reading Coach: Putting the Homework Help Lab to the Test

  Aug 19, 202614 minS8

  AI as a Reading Coach: Putting the Homework Help Lab to the Test | AI for Academic Success What happens when we move from talking about responsible AI use to actually putting it into practice? In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast , Dr. Renée Jordan begins a test run of the AI for Academic Success: Homework Help Lab by stepping into representative learner perspectives from the Black-Liberation.Tech ecosystem. Using Ashley's composite learning scenario, we explore an AP Environmental Science prompt focused on environmental justice, community health, climate change, and fairness. Rather than asking AI to summarize a reading or provide an answer, the prompt positions AI as a reading coach —helping the learner unpack vocabulary, make connections, consider why a concept matters, and check her own understanding. Along the way, we explore a larger question at the heart of AI literacy: Can AI help us understand something more deeply without doing the thinking for us? This episode demonstrates what it can look like to use AI as a tutor and thinking partner—not a replacement for reading, reasoning, curiosity, or learner judgment. Ashley and Jasmine represent composite learning scenarios created for educational demonstration. They are not real student records or graded assignments.

  AI as Your Reading Coach

  Aug 16, 202613 minS8

  Read with Curiosity, Learn Through Questions What if asking questions while you read isn't a sign that you don't understand—but evidence that you're actively learning? In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech AI for Academic Success series , Dr. Renée Jordan enters the Homework Help Lab and begins putting the workbook's learning strategies into practice. First, meet the Homework Help Lab Scholars and Nevaeh, a learner beginning to discover how artificial intelligence can serve as a thinking partner. Then meet Rosario, whose story introduces the first learning strategy: reading with questions . Through the Help Me Understand What I Read activity, Dr. Jordan explores how learners can prompt AI to help them identify important vocabulary, define key terms, make connections to what they already know, understand why ideas matter, and generate questions that check their understanding. The episode also examines an important boundary: AI should support the reading process, not replace it. Learners remain responsible for reading the source material, evaluating AI's explanations, protecting private or restricted information, and doing the thinking necessary to build their own understanding. Because strong readers don't need to have all the answers. They remain curious enough to keep asking better questions.

  Turning Interests Into Impact

  Aug 5, 20269 minS8

  What if choosing a career isn't just about what you want to do—but about the problems you want to help solve? In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast, we continue our Ag-STEM Career Discovery Lab Walkthrough with Step 8: Community Impact Challenge. Career exploration is about more than finding a job. It is about discovering how your interests, talents, and future career can contribute to your community and help solve real-world challenges. In this episode, we explore how Ag-STEM careers can address issues such as food insecurity, environmental justice, climate resilience, community health, and economic opportunity in underserved communities. Using examples such as Community Food Systems Planner, Public Health and Agricultural Data Scientist, and Community Resilience Planner, we examine how professionals combine science, technology, agriculture, data, policy, and community engagement to create positive change. Listeners will learn how to: • Connect personal interests to community needs • Explore careers that create social impact • Understand how Ag-STEM careers improve quality of life • Examine the role of AI, technology, and data in community problem-solving • Reflect on how their own skills and passions can contribute to a better future Most importantly, this episode encourages learners to see themselves not only as future professionals, but also as future problem-solvers, innovators, advocates, and community leaders. Reflection Questions: • Which community challenge interests you most? • How might your talents help address that challenge? • What role could you imagine yourself playing? • How could technology support your efforts? • What impact would you like your future career to have on your community? Because career exploration is not only about what you do. It is also about who you help and the difference you make.

  AI Literacy for Scholars

  Jul 29, 202610 minS8

  Becoming a Critical Consumer of AI Information What if the most important AI skill isn't learning how to get an answer—but learning how to determine whether the answer should be trusted? In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast, we continue our Ag-STEM Career Discovery Lab Walkthrough with Step 7: Verify Then Trust. Artificial Intelligence can be a powerful thinking partner, but it is not perfect. Strong AI users understand that every response should be evaluated, questioned, and verified before being accepted as accurate. In this episode, we explore how learners can critically evaluate information generated by AI while researching careers, educational pathways, emerging technologies, and social issues. Using the example of Community Resilience Planning, we examine how AI responses may contain limitations, omissions, biases, simplified explanations, or incomplete perspectives. We discuss why it is important to compare AI-generated information with trusted sources, including government agencies, universities, research institutions, and professional organizations. Listeners will learn how to: • Identify potential limitations in AI responses • Recognize bias, omissions, and incomplete perspectives • Verify information using .gov and .edu sources • Compare multiple viewpoints and sources of evidence • Ask stronger follow-up questions • Develop habits used by researchers, scholars, scientists, and informed citizens Most importantly, this episode emphasizes that AI literacy is not about blindly trusting technology. It is about learning how to think critically, evaluate evidence, and make informed decisions. Reflection Questions: • Did the AI response include multiple perspectives or only one? • What information should be verified independently? • What details were missing or underrepresented? • How did comparing sources change your understanding? • What questions would you ask next? Because responsible AI use begins with curiosity, critical thinking, and verification. Remember: Trust is not automatic. Trust is earned through evidence.
