2025 FETC Resources and Presentations

 Every year I present at multiple conferences and the one that I look forward to the most is FETC. Being able to get out of Illinois in January and enjoy some of my favorite things in sunshine and edtech makes this conference a highlight of my year! This year I'm presenting three times and very excited to share information on Drones, Leadership in AI, and bringing Kami to your classroom. I hope you enjoyed my sessions if you attended and if you weren't able to be there my resources are below and I'd be happy to help in any way that I can.

AI Savvy Students, Part 3: Use vs. Misuse

The stoplight model gives students clarity while leaving you room to teach. Red Light: Hard no’s (misuse) Copy/paste submissions. AI produces the text; the student submits it as their own. Fabricated citations or evidence. Bypassing the learning target. Example: using AI to write a creative piece in a class where the target is crafting original prose . Concealed use.

AI as a Creative Thought Partner, Part 1: Why AI Should Be More Than Just a Tool Artificial intelligence has become one of the most talked-about technologies of our time. Over the past couple of years, the growth of AI has been explosive faster than almost anyone expected. Every week, it seems like there’s a new tool, a new feature, or a new way AI is being integrated into our daily lives. From voice assistants to AI-powered glasses, we are edging closer to a future where intelligent technology surrounds us in ways once reserved for science fiction.

While that’s true, this mindset risks limiting its potential. If we only see AI as an automation engine, we miss its real strength: acting as a creative thought partner . Beyond Automation: Rethinking AI’s Role There’s no denying that automation...
