Summer (at least for a teacher) is over. Students return to the building today with our New Student Orientation. Regular classes begin for me on Friday.

Embracing AI in Education: A Teacher’s Journey for 2025-2026
It is time for me to ramp up for the 2025-2026 school year. I have invested a great deal of time this summer learning about artificial intelligence (AI) and analyzing its place in education. Through this process, there is one activity to which I have committed for the coming year as much as possible, and …

“This is What I See” and AI
When I taught Theology classes for high school freshman, one of the things I learned quickly is to use the personal pronoun “I” during class discussions. If I were to say “we believe” about something, inevitably this would be challenged by students. “I don’t know if I believe this,” they might exclaim. And they were …
I Ask AI About Anything
Over the past month, I have come to rely on artificial intelligence (AI) for most of my queries and work, forgoing traditional search. As a result, I am getting better and quicker results for most of my needs (the service I am using most right now is the subscription version of ChatGPT). In particular, I …
AI in the Workplace
As an educator, especially as one who works with high school juniors and seniors, I have carefully watched the trends of how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in business and industry.

“Wait Till Next Year!”

These great Dodger teams were repeatedly stymied in their attempts for a World Series title, usually at the hands of their crosstown rival, the New York Yankees. Eventually, the Dodgers broke through, triumphing …

Luke 10 and Good Samaritan Insights
In 2024, I read through the entire Bible twice for my own growth, meditation, and learning. This year I am focusing on specific books and am reviewing a commentary on each book alongside the readings. My first chosen book for the year is the Gospel of Luke. One element I appreciate about Luke is that …

If you are a regular reader of my posts, you know that I am attempting to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) tools and services for both personal learning and growth and to benefit my students' learning.

Advice For New Teachers
My wife and I are a part of a small group Bible study. Somehow the discussion moved from Acts 10 to my teaching experiences (I am not sure how that happened, but I went with the change!) I was asked about working with school parents today and whether they were challenging. Honestly and thankfully, at …
