A few weeks ago, I helped facilitate a conversation about AI in a room with over 100 moms and their teenage daughters. The goal was not to give a lecture, present slides, or hand out a list of recommendations. The goal was simple: to start a conversation by demonstrating what it looks like to talk […]

Everyone agrees kids need durable skills. Critical thinking. Collaboration. Empathy. Adaptability. The ability to navigate a world shaped by AI without losing what makes them distinctly human. The sessions said it. The research says it. The panels at ASU+GSV said it — again and again, across four days in San Diego. What nobody said: what […]

Most parents know what their child is learning in school each term.We check their grades online, ask about the test, help with the homework.

You know that feeling when your kid comes home talking about something they learned that you’ve never heard of? That’s exactly where many of us find ourselves with AI right now.

Picture this: It’s 8:47 PM on a Tuesday. Your kid just remembered they have a math test tomorrow. You’re staring at fractions worksheets and everyone’s getting cranky. Sound familiar? Six months ago, this would have sent me spiraling. Tonight? I pulled out my phone, spent 5 minutes creating a personalized study guide, and my daughter […]

How my AI Natives remind me daily that curiosity trumps fear when it comes to new technology Last week, I was exploring Canva for a graphic to use in a presentation. You know the feeling—staring at a blank Canva screen (or PowerPoint or Google Slides), cycling through templates that just weren’t quite right, when my […]

You know that feeling when your kid announces they have a test tomorrow—as you’re pulling into the school drop-off line? The one where your stomach drops, your mind races through everything you should have done to help them prepare, and you’re already mentally calculating if you can squeeze in a study session between soccer practice […]
