AI and Your Homeschool: Wisdom for a New Era
Episode Description: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, in our phones, in our search engines, and increasingly in the tools our children will use for school, work, and life. For homeschool parents, that raises real questions. Is it safe? Will it shortcut my child's thinking? Could it actually help me? And how do we approach all of this with biblical wisdom? In this episode, Angela Lasch sits down with Nancy Manos, a longtime homeschool leader with more than twenty years of experience encouraging and equipping homeschool families. Nancy currently serves as the National Alliance Leaders Conference Director and has become a thoughtful voice on how Christian families can navigate technology with discernment.
