AI would advance even if OpenAI disappeared. AI really actually does powerful things that will transform a lot of how we live and work even if AI did not advance further. The way to influence the future is not to pretend that AI is going to go away, but push for it to be used well & mitigate harms.

I don't just talk about AI. I show you how to make it work for your students and your real classroom challenges.
If you're ready to move beyond surface-level AI adoption, I provide keynotes, workshops, and customized training bridging the gap between AI hype and practical, ethical implementation.

What educators tell me after my sessions:
"This was my most favorite faculty meeting ever!"
"This gave me new ideas to consider about the problem behind student AI use, not just the symptom"
"This was the most interesting AI training I've been a part of!"

That's why my approach is different. I teach educators to embrace AI through resistance—to understand its limitations, recognize its biases, and strategically prompt for more inclusive, equitable outcomes.

After grading hundreds, if not thousands, of AI-generated student submissions and decades working with marginalized student populations, I've learned something crucial: The default version of AI doesn't work for everyone. In fact, it can actively harm students if we don't know how to redirect it.

Here's what most AI training gets wrong: They focus on the tools. The prompts. The "120 must-use AI applications." But they skip the most critical question... What happens when we put biased technology in front of our most vulnerable learners?

Next week, I'll be recording a conversation with Executive Dir. of Montana Digital Academy Jason Neiffer, Ed.D. for Edu Cafe. After the Hype Cycle: Looking Back, Looking Ahead. What’s Actually Changed Since 2022 with AI in Education.

I've been talking about this with others. Humans are so malleable that as they consume more and more AI content, they will adjust to that and sound more and more like LLM than the other way around. This has been happening since 2018!
