Yesterday I had the opportunity to lead a session with administrators in our Rocky Mountain District of Lutheran schools on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. A good portion of the session was time for participants to experiment with AI tools and services and then to share their learning with their peers. A few had already …

Updates to FaithEdTech
Over the past few years, the blog and website has been neglected. I have many ideas of things to share with others, but it has been difficult to harness the discipline (see this post on this word) to do so, especially since the onset of COVID disrupted many personal and professional patterns. It is time …
Articles on ChatGPT and Education
Over the past month I have become increasingly curious about ChatGPT and its implications for education. If you don't already know, ChatGPT is an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tool that is currently freely available to be tested. I asked ChatGPT to describe itself, and this is the text it generated for me within ten seconds: …
#OneWord 2023 — Discipline
For several years, education folks I follow on Twitter have selected one word to guide their work and life in the coming year. This is in lieu of traditional resolutions that are often quickly discarded. For myself, one word has seemed limiting and less than helpful. For instance, in 2020 I posted about three words …

Reestablishing FaithEdTech
If you follow this blog you will notice that I have not at all been prolific with my writing and reflecting the past few years. Some of this is due to the unique nature of the past few years in education and the incredible amount of energy that was expended in doing the best I …
Celebrate!
For several years folks in education (and other fields as well) have chosen a word, or even three words, to guide them for the coming year. I have often chosen three words to help me focus on the year ahead, thinking that a single word did not provide enough guidance for me. I debated as …
What I Learned This Week With Online Teaching
Like many of you, this past week was my first week of moving to an all-online format for teaching. It was definitely a week of both blessings and challenges. As I follow education folks on Twitter, it does seem like those of us who teach in high schools have an advantage over elementary and middle …
