  • Summary

  • In this episode of Pop Pedagogy, Nichole and Melissa dive into A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik, exploring the unique world of the Scholomance—a self-run, perilous school for young wizards where survival is the ultimate graduation requirement. With no teachers and only a magical algorithm to guide them, students must rely on their own skills, alliances, and instincts to make it through. Nichole and Melissa discuss the implications of a school run by an "algorithm," comparing it to AI in education today, and unpack themes of hidden curriculum, survival-based learning, and the need for human facilitation in teaching. Tune in for an insightful look at what happens when education is left to technology and how it impacts students' learning, community, and growth.
