Reimagining Education in an AI Era: A Journey of Collaboration, Reflection and Possibility
We are living in a time when artificial intelligence is transforming how we teach, learn, and make sense of the world.

Working closely with rural communities in the Pacific Northwest, I have come to see AI not only as a tool but also as a mirror that helps us reflect on who we are as educators and what we value in teaching and learning. In this talk, I will share stories and experiences from this journey. How collaboration across research, industry, and schools has invited me to reconsider my role, my assumptions, and the meaning of equity in education. This is not a talk about answers…
