In this episode, Director of IT Derek Fine talks with kindergarten teacher Jody Deaton, fourth-grade teacher Dr. Mike Natarella, middle grades math teacher Chris Eberhart and Upper School English teacher Mallory Collier about Darlington’s recent distinction as a four-time Apple Distinguished School and how we inspire, imagine, and create a lasting impact on our students using technology.
In the past year at Darlington, I've been working on finding the best way to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in my lessons. I teach English, and at first, I was worried about using AI because I thought students might use it to cheat or complete their assignments. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make sure AI wouldn't be a way for students to avoid doing their own work, but using it as a resource.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Thatcher Faculty and Staff Development Fund, I was able to attend the Georgia Educational Technology Conference last year. As a first-year Darlington faculty member and first-year librarian, I was eager to gather as much information as I could from school library media veterans. Many of the ideas I incorporated into Darlington’s Upper School Library throughout the year were from seeds planted at GAETC. I knew that I wanted to attend again in 2023 — and this time, I had the opportunity to write the grant myself and explain just how valuable my experience at the conference had been.
In this episode, Ryland Scott ('23) talks with varsity coaches Reid Owens (tennis), Justin Bruce (girls' golf), Jared Willerson (boys' golf), Kevin Hunt (track and field), Matt Larry (baseball), Mallory Collier (girls' lacrosse) and Sam Clark (boys' lacrosse) about the spring athletic season at Darlington. You'll hear a little bit about each team and their highlights of the spring season, from the preseason to team bonding to their accomplishments and more.
