I'm super excited to be visiting Chattanooga, Tennessee, in December for the TETA Conference as a Featured Speaker! I'll be sharing six sessions about AI in education. I was even more excited when I saw the other featured speakers - what a lineup. #TETA2025 #AIOptimism

The question isn’t whether AI will change education – it already has. The real question is whether we will use it to reinforce the status quo or to reimagine what learning can be. Yes, …

Did you know that I was already writing #AIOptimism when this podcast came out? It was perfect to see people I respect in education already talking about the concept, and it empowered me to reach out to Ruben to write the forward! Special thanks to @Sparvell for connecting the dots.

I was fortunate to join many podcasts over the summer and fall, all talking #AIOptimism and the framework in my book. If you missed one and want to catch up, I have a @wakelet.com collection for that! Pick an episode and make sure to share your thoughts with the hosts.

What an amazing morning delivering a keynote on #AIOptimism and the power of partnerships with Trinity Valley Community College faculty and staff! The response was amazing (and my stack of books sold out). I can’t wait to hear how the potential of AI positively impacts their students.
