I am in my seventh year of teaching a course I created in STEAM called What’s nExT? In Emerging Technology. During this course, I teach 8th-grade students about topics including AI, cybersecutiy, digital citizenship, digital storytelling, game-based learning, gamification, coding, augmented and virtual reality, podcasting, video creation, and creating multimedia presentations. In the course, students create their own AR and VR environments using some of these augmented and virtual reality tools.

I have presented at the state, national and international level. I have spoken at conferences including AMLE, ASCD, BETT, CUE, FETC, Future Ready Nebraska, ICE, IDEAcon, iNACOL, ISTE, MACUL, MASS CUE, Microsoft E2, NETA, NOSS, PETE&C, PSMLA, Southern Oregon EdTech Conference, Spring CUE, USM Summer Spark, TETC, Upstate Tech Conference, and VSTE on many topics. My main areas of focus for the past 7 years have been AI and AI and the Law. I also am focusing more on cybersecurity. Additional topics include assessments, SEL, emerging technology (AI, AR/VR), blockchain, metaverse, innovation, STEM and technology integration. I also do presentations and keynotes on artificial intelligence, AI and the Law, the future of education and work, and augmented and virtual reality.
