I am fascinated by how fast things change. We used to think evolution was a slow, creeping and barely noticeable thing. That was when we were talking about how human-kind developed. In the age of information, mediated by technology, it almost seems silly to think about evolution at that pace.
From the beginning of the school year in August 2025 to now (April 2026), EVERYTHING has changed. I am thinking about how this time last year, I was working with community others to develop a clear statement about AI culture and norms (because policy in the age of 4-5-7 means nothing)! How could reading Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation and listening to/reading Ethan Mollick’s work on Co-Intelligence be so mind-boggling accurate that a year later, I am in this place?!
Welp, here we are.
I have been thinking about how learning is now so different and what it means to be part of the generative world of AIs. So…I am putting it out there–I am working on a bigger paper (like I have nothing else to do)! I have created a way to think about these shifts and applying it to STEM Education (of course…my bias).

More is coming but here is the skeleton…what a wild ride!
