Human-Centered AI: Supporting Educators with NeuLight

In this episode of TransformED with StepUp, we sit down with Jose Moreno—tech innovator and founder of NeuLight—to explore how AI and thoughtful design can transform the educator experience. Drawing from his work at Microsoft and Netflix, Jose brings a unique perspective to education, focusing on tools that are both effective and user-loved. Jose introduces IntelliTear, a groundbreaking system that simplifies multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), RTI, and PBIS by centralizing data and using AI to recommend tailored student interventions. We discuss its real-world impact, especially in rural districts and behavioral support efforts. This episode unpacks: * The power of AI to ease teacher workload and amplify student support * New Light’s commitment to data privacy and ethical AI * Upcoming academic integration features * Why tech in education must be built with educators—not just for them 🔗 Visit newlight.io [https://newlight.io] for demos, resources, and ways to connect with Jose.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
