What I Do
Keynote Speaking
I speak at conferences, schools, businesses. My talks are practical, evidence-based, and designed to leave audiences with something they can actually use on Monday morning.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions where educators learn to create classroom resources with AI, develop school-specific prompts, and build confidence with the technology. No prior experience required.
Consulting
I work with school leaders on AI policy, strategy, and implementation. This includes policy construction, the SAINT Framework for managing AI change, and building a shared approach across the school community.
Student Sessions
I help students understand what AI is, what it isn’t, and how to use it without outsourcing their thinking. Based on my bestselling book, 10 Things Every Student Should Know About AI.
Staff Training
Full-day and half-day training designed to upskill entire staff teams. I meet teachers where they are and give them practical strategies they can use immediately. Topics include prompting, assessment in an AI world, AI policy, and building an AI playbook.

About me
A 3rd Generation Teacher
I’m a third-generation teacher, a Fellow at Baylor University, and an author. I currently serve as a Head of Department and teach History at Calvin Christian School. Alongside my classroom work, I’ve spent the last several years helping thousands of educators across Australia and internationally navigate the problems and possibilities of AI in education.
I’m the author of many books, including my most recent book, Wise AI: Using Powerful Technology in a Deeply Human Way.
My mission is simple: help schools use AI wisely. Not just adopt the tools, but adapt to the world they’re creating. I believe education is the most human thing we do, and I want to keep it that way.
“My mission is to help schools wisely navigate the problems and explore the possibilities of AI.”
Keynote Speaker
I speak at education conferences, Ed Tech festivals, and school events across Australia and internationally. I spoke at TEDxHobart in 2024. My talks are practical, honest, and designed for educators of all confidence levels.
Author
I write about AI and education for teachers who are short on time and long on responsibility. My books include Wise AI (with Daniel Sih), Artificial Intelligence, Real Literacy (with Jason Gulya), and Flourishing in an AI World (with Simon Matthews).
Consultant
I work with schools on AI policy, staff training, and strategic implementation. From single workshops to year-long partnerships, I help school communities build shared confidence with AI.
AI promises to save us time.
So why are we busier than ever?
Faster doesn’t mean freer. For most of us, AI has simply raised the bar on how much we’re expected to produce. The workload grows. The pace accelerates. And the space for what actually matters keeps shrinking.
Wise AI offers a different path. A practical framework for using AI to create room for deep work, deep thought, deep rest, and deep relationships. Not just a faster life, but a more human one.
Daniel Sih, award-winning author of Spacemaker and Raising Tech-Healthy Humans, and Paul Matthews, TEDx speaker, author, and Fellow at Baylor University, show how to lead with organic intelligence, build sustainable rhythms, and develop ten essential AI skills for a productive, deeply human life.
TEDx Hobart
‘I help teachers use AI to do the basics better, not to do more.’
