look back on key trends and memorable moments in their coverage over the past year, and what they see coming.</p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>Listen to the episode on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/edsurge-on-air/id972239500#"
