Schools with clear guidelines and no traffic light systems foster a culture of trust. This open communication helps students develop skills for academic honesty, proving that integrity thrives on transparency, not rigid rules.

This is a very special collaboration that I'm looking forward to in November!

I'll be teaming up with Trevor Mackenzie for a highly engaging and interactive two-day conference focused on empowering learners through developing deep conceptual understanding in an immersive inquiry-based environment.

Trevor brings an incredible wealth of expertise in inquiry-based learning, policy advising, and systems change. As a highly regarded speaker known for his heartfelt storytelling, kind demeanor, and generosity, his global experience supporting schools across various contexts makes his insights invaluable.

Join us on November 13th and 14th, 2026, at ISPP - International School of Phnom Penh's state-of-the-art new professional learning facility, The Summit.

Over these two days, we will explore broad themes such as questioning, creating, and transferring in empowered learners, the inquiry-concept connection, and architecting agency for deep learning. Through a series of interactive workshops, you'll gain practical insights and strategies to enhance your educational practices.

A striking statistic reveals that over 58% of students admit to using AI dishonestly. We explore the pressures, unclear expectations, and conceptual misunderstandings driving this academic integrity challenge.

What do I think about the HK Digital Education Blueprint?

This week, I am walking through this blueprint and giving my honest opinions.

What does concept-based, inquiry-driven learning actually feel like for both learners and teachers?

In my partnerships, I like to encourage teachers to explore different components of concept-based curriculum and instruction, so I've built two free simulations to unpack inductive inquiry and concept-based unit planning:

Conceptual Thinking Simulator: step into the learner's seat: ask questions, spot patterns, and build your own generalizations through inductive inquiry.

Unit Planning Sandbox: take a traditional topic and transform it into a concept-based, inquiry-driven unit, then preview the impact on student transfer.

Pick your subject and grade level inside each one. Works on any device.

The OECD and European Commission have launched their final AI Digital Literacy Framework for Education. This video explores the key domains: engaging, creating, managing, and shaping AI. We'll also look at new NotebookLM features and mind map customizations to understand these concepts better.

August can't come soon enough for me. I'm so glad to be based home in Hong Kong, and I'm genuinely excited to partner with five schools for the beginning of the academic year.

Hong Kong schools here are doing something valuable in terms of investing time and energy into AI and digital literacy. I'll be spending time with secondary IB DP students developing AI literacy and research skills, working alongside local secondary teachers to build an AI-infused curriculum that holds up in the classroom, and facilitating pedagogy sessions with primary teachers on what AI-powered teaching can practically look like.

I'm also looking forward to coaching the development of a mathematics curriculum built around deep conceptual understanding and connecting with a network of schools across Hong Kong and China on the bigger picture of AI digital literacy.

These are the conversations I care most about. Thank you for these opportunities!

See you soon, Hong Kong. 🇭🇰

I am so grateful to not get on a plane in August LOL.

My latest video this week dives into a framework I'm really excited about: the AI Literacy Framework (AILit), a joint initiative by the European Commission and the OECD.

Designed for primary and secondary education, it outlines key competences across four domains:

Engage with AI
Create with AI
Manage AI
Shape AI

It's a powerful resource for teachers, school leaders, policymakers, and learning designers to help young people understand, use, and shape AI responsibly and ethically.
