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 …

Teaching Students to Debate: Principles for Respectful Political Engagement
My main role at my current school is as the Director of Lights Academy, an honors, project-based, personalized learning experience. But to free up time in a student's schedule, we also embed Honors Government standards within the experience.

“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.

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 …
“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 …

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 …
