Last month I led a session on artificial intelligence (AI) for administrators in our Rocky Mountain District. One request from that session was to share what I read about AI. I was also asked to share a few thoughts about what I read. To that end, I have created a new page and menu link …

Is This the Future of Browsing?
1993 was an important year in the history of the Internet. Before this year, the Internet was entirely text-based. I accessed the Internet through a dial-up modem through my phone line.

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 as an Adaptive Challenge
I was in Phoenix last week, leading several sessions with Lutheran educators. While I was there, I also heard a keynote address from Dr. Vanessa Seifert. In this presentation, she shared something that resonated with me -- the distinction between technical challenges and adaptive challenges. Technical challenges are problems we face where there is a …
