70. Prepare to Be "Bolled" Over By All Things AI for Teachers! Meet Michael Boll.

January 17, 2025 • Audrey Forgeron and David Carpenter • Season 3

We catch up with Michael Boll who is always on the bleeding edge, playing with the latest and greatest finding ways to use technology for teaching and learning. We have huge admiration for his tech savvy and also his adventurous spirit and his willingness to share his knowledge with us lesser mortals. Not to mention that his dry wit and self-deprecating humor weave through every interaction we have with him.

Michael is a jack-of-all-trades educator, instructor, and designer, and is no stranger to juggling his expertise in education, training, startups, technology, and marketing – all while balancing on a unicycle. His mission, as he has chosen to accept it, is to fearlessly blend existing and newfangled technologies in the classroom, creating an educational smoothie of epic proportions.

Michael and his wife Lori are parents to an adult child with profound autism. Their family experiences have motivated them to assist all educators to provide all students with inclusive learning opportunities in education.

Our Guiding Question was, “How can teachers learn to effectively use AI in their teaching? What are some instructional techniques that they can tap into right now?”

Here are a few topics covered in this episode:

Michael’s start with AI and his PD platforum
AI improving efficiency and productivity for busy teachers
