Iām still listening to the episode, but I was already blown away by something that Teddy mentions at the beginning. I am also a university professor who projects GoodNotes from my iPad. In the past, I used it in Split View with Obsidian (I used to use Bear) for my lesson outline.
iPadOS 26 seemed to break this workflow for me, since it didnāt seem as though I could project chromeless GoodNotes without also projecting my whole screen (with Obsidian). How is this done? I have mostly given up and for the last year have been using my Mac for notes and keeping GoodNotes in fullscreen on my iPad.
@MacSparky @beardfm Thanks for the great episode!
I have a small ask, for future episodes would it be possible to also add the app links and show notes to the YouTube description? Right now theyāre only on Relay FMās site. Itās easy to buy those apps that way 
I just checked using GoodNotes, and what I wrote here about Notability still works.
Why on earth Stage Manager should need to be enabled is beyond me. ĀÆ\(ć)/ĀÆ
Hey Dave, thanks for listening! The secret to making this work on iPadOS 26 is to swipe up (so the windows move to the side and show the desktop), and then tap the GoodNotes icon again. Something about tapping it from that state āreassertsā it as the front most app. Itās not ideal because then you can only switch between apps that are already active on your screen, but if you ever get stuck thatās an easy way to get back on track.
Of course none of this matters is iPadOS 27 stays the way it isā¦.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for this information! I hope it doesnāt come to this. I really strongly dislike Stage Manager.
Wow. Thatās such a weird way for it to work! Iāll give it a shot this week in class. Thanks for the follow up (and the great episode to begin with!).
As a music theory/composition professor, using GoodNotes to display a score while my notes/outline are in Obsidian is great because Obsidian will let me put an audio file right in my outline!
I donāt care for Stage Manager, either. But Iām running the iOS 27 beta, so at least I can confirm that itās still a workaround.
Interesting! I didnāt realize you were speaking of the iPadOS 27 beta. Thatās great to hear!
Iām an advocate of (properly) using AI, but this episode has me concerned that challenges AI poses to traditional education is barely being addressed.
The entire educational system starting from pre-school and elementary/grade school will need to be dramatically changed to insure students still learn and develop their own skills for thinking and reasoning.
With the rapid development of AI and potentially AGI, along with progress being made in the computer-brain interface biomedical engineering, what is a human if the brain is connected digitally to AI servers locally or in the cloud? AI-augmented humans? Human-augmented robots?
Well, Iām saving up for one of those Chinese humanoid AI robots.
Iāll send it to the gym for me while I focus on more important stuff. Them weights aināt gonna lift themselves!
The speed of change required for these systems to respond to AI and the pace at which they will actually change is starkly different.
For three years I have been in conversation with my colleagues about these issues, advocating for the deep and radical rethinking that we so clearly need ā¦ and generally people remain solely concerned with detecting AI submissions so they can be punished. It has made me jaded!
I am working towards reinventing all of my courses to be more focused on doing ā and evaluating ā experiential learning.
Looking forward to listening to this episode!
I found this a remarkably cheerful and uncritical discussion of generative AI, which has made the work of evaluating student writing a hellscape for many instructors. Itās telling that the University of Chicago has banned gen AI in first-year law courses and some undergrad courses. UC Berkeley has banned gen AI in all law courses. Harvard, though, is all in, encouraging faculty to use gen AI and offering a $699 course in entrepreneurship taught by AI clones of business faculty. At the same time, Harvard has closed its Writing Center, where a student could work one-to-one with another human. Arizona State is repackaging course materials in bits and pieces for use in online course offerings. At SUNY Buffalo, the Chief AI Officer has advanced the idea of having a chatbot give students oral exams. And Texas Tech is using AI to comb through syllabi for suspect texts (anything foregrounding sexual orientation or gender identity).
There are many, many questions to ask here, and a need for a much more critical perspective.
