I gave a presentation at the Transforming the Teaching & Learning Environment Virtual Conference on Friday 13th February, 2026. On this page you will find additional resources to support that presentation.

You can download a PDF of the presentation handout here.

Just as a sommelier understands the nuances of wine, I encourage everyone to appreciate the provenance, pairing, and “price” of AI. It’s about selecting the right tool for the right task while being mindful of its capabilities and risks.

1. Experiment with prompting frameworks using free and paid tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
2. Try document analysis with tools like NotebookLM for research or lesson planning.
3. Develop institutional policies for AI use that balance innovation with integrity.
4. Create acknowledgment protocols that promote transparency in AI-assisted work.
5. Build AI literacy through hands-on experimentation and continuous learning.

These four free MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) are highly recommended for beginners:

1. Generative AI for Educators (Google)
2. Elements of AI
3. Building AI
4. Ethics of AI
