I love the Toy Story series already simply because the toys are the ones I grew up with: action figures, Mr. Potato Head, rag dolls, piggy bank, etc. It's nostalgic for me around imaginative play, essentially.
Enter Toy Story 5 with its plotline introducing concept of modern digital screen time "play." It's benefits and risks. Many families are stuck between two extremes: either avoiding AI completely or letting students use it without enough structure.
I designed the Applied AI Learning Lab™ to help both the student and adults/caregivers/teachers with skills and ways to think about using AI today that will transfer to even the NEXT new and emerging technology.
“A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in" to quote the iconic slogan of the United Negro College Fund.
Simply put, the goal is to reduce AI dependency and to help students and adults/caregivers/teachers understand how to use AI responsibly as a thinking partner for brainstorming, explanation, revision, studying, organization, and reflection.
For adults and caregivers, my lab is designed to help replace overwhelm with practical confidence. Each participant type will learn how to use AI to support learning at home, ask better questions, organize information, and guide children without letting the tool take over.
Learn how to use AI without losing the thinking, effort, judgment, and voice that makes learning real.
