What a wonderful lesson! Having spent time in the classrooms yourself, and given the vast amounts of digital information available, what would you think of using AI and holograms to create a “Marcus Aurelius” for classroom learning?
One application might utilize Marcus introducing a lesson topic with illustrative examples. Then the pupils could ask Marcus questions that would demonstrate how well they understood the topic of the day.
Imagine sitting at the feet, er, hologram, of Marcus Aurelius!
Of course you’re right. If Marcus appeared in modern day clothing would that destroy the effect as a sage from long ago, yet still carrying lessons applicable to our lives today?
We once talked about the Principle of the school system in Cabrini Green in Chicago. Her philosophy was “teach every child like they’re gifted!” I mention that as I digested teaching Marcus Aurelius to 4th and 5th graders. I was imagining how a teacher could make part of their learning understanding how ideas and principles from very long ago have remained relevant.
I caught myself thinking, “That’s too abstract!” Then quickly remembered Cabrini Green. “Like they’re gifted.”

I think kindergarteners would find holograms to be a hoot! Not so sure about Marcus as their first “speaker”😂.
Don’t sell Marcus short. 🤔
I was just thinking someone like Dr. Seuss or Mr. Rogers might be a better fit for that age group?

Fourth or fifth grade? Maybe?
I like the idea!
