2023 brought plenty of surprises in education — and it wasn’t just all that talk about responding to ChatGPT and other AI tools.


As we start a new year, we asked our reporters to look back on key trends and memorable moments in their coverage over the past year, and what they see coming.
Their reflections include a surprising tip that led to a trip to a small town to see an unusual early childhood experiment up close; wrestling with large datasets to better understand education trends; getting over a fear of math to cover efforts to revolutionize the teaching of calculus; and, yes, talks with professors struggling with adjusting teaching to the presence of AI chatbots.
Hear from five EdSurge reporters — Nadia Tamez-Robledo, Emily Tate Sullivan, Daniel Mollenkamp, Rebecca Koenig and Jeff Young — on this special episode of the EdSurge Podcast.
