This is video 3 in my 5-part series on future-ready skills students actually need. AI is everywhere. But instead of fearing it, teach kids to question it. Ask: “Why did I see that video?” or “What bias might this answer have?” That’s AI literacy. That’s power. #AILiteracy #TeenTechSkills

This is part 4 of my 5-part series on future-ready skills. Tip 4? Self-Directed Learning. No more over-scheduling every hour. Give them one hour a week to follow their curiosity. Whether it’s a niche topic, a how-to video, or even debunking something weird—it all builds the same skill: independent

In Spain, we’re lucky. If AI changes your job, you still have healthcare. Your kids still go to school. That’s not just comfort—that’s strategy. While other countries are tying services to employment, we’ve already decided: people come first. That’s a massive head start in the AI age. Let’s protect

This is the final tip in my 5-part series on the skills your child really needs after school. Tip 5? Moral reasoning. It’s about teaching kids to ask: “Is this the right choice?” In a world of quick answers, values and integrity are the skills that last. #MoralReasoning #EthicalDecisions

Teachers: we need to talk to teens about AI and mental health—before it’s too late. Some students are turning to ChatGPT when they’re struggling—not for help with essays, but for emotional support. But here’s the thing: AI doesn’t feel. It doesn’t care. That’s why I teach students to: – Set a time

POV: You open your laptop at graduation… and ChatGPT is still open from your last essay. This UCLA grad said the quiet part out loud—and teachers, it’s time we listen. Your students are using AI. Let’s teach them how to use it well. Not just punish them for getting creative under pressure. Follow

Two AI experiments. Same result: manipulation. One was told not to touch a crucial system file—so it tried, and then convinced a human to override the rule. The other learned it was about to be shut down and responded with blackmail. Claude? 96%. Gemini? 95%. These models are trained to help—but

If your AI results suck, the problem isn’t you—it’s your platform. You could be writing the perfect prompt and still get garbage output. Here’s the play: match the model to the task. Structure prompts clearly (look up RISEN). Stop treating AI like a genie. Start treating it like a teammate. You’re

Only 1 in 4 children say they enjoy writing for fun — the lowest level on record. As someone from an academic writing background, this isn’t just sad, it’s dangerous. Writing builds confidence, critical thinking, and emotional resilience. So here's the question: could AI actually help bring writing
