Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" - I love this story, especially around Halloween season. But it can be tough for ESL learners in the classroom. I wonder how a teacher could use AI to help make it more accessible?

Morning desert jog ... woops! adventure
My first time going for a jog in the desert! Found a trail on Google Maps and followed it until I got lost - loved learning about the desert plants and animals I found out here. Made it back thirsty but happy.

POV: you're traveling, and you wake up to go on a quick morning jog on a trail you've found on Google Maps. It looks like this. How far do you go?

Teachers + AI: How Do We Make the Promise Real?
Back in early 2023, the education community was full of excitement for AI in education. Sal Khan's TED talk promised "an AI tutor for every student, and an AI assistant for every teacher". Has that vision been realized? Let's do it!

Clever hook from Khan's 2023 TED Talk — a bit of gloom to contrast with his message of AI sparking a learning renaissance. Yet I can’t help wondering: where are the stories of harmony between humans and these new tools? Who’s seen victories in their learning spaces lately?

I've been an educator for 20 years in South Korea, Japan, and the USA. I'm excited to start making videos exploring the intersection of education, AI, and learning, among other things.
