Hello everyone, I have a new video releasing later today - you can take a look ahead of everyone else. https://youtu.be/f3kdG-D2K7I?si=AlvD6MYGGdJe4zSo

I recently wrote to a colleague in Central Asia about the innovations that are happening in North America regarding self education. Has the Canadian and US State Departments erected firewalls or can the progress being made here in education be exported/shared with less affluent countries? Also, can self-education be packaged such that Internet connections are not always required? My training was as an agricultural Extension educator working with fruit producers in eastern USA. Several times I went overseas to train people in the field. I see great potential in what is being discussed at this site.

Congratulations to those who have completed the course and have some cool, new skills. I'm excited to see where your knowledge takes you. This also means that I'll be here more often in the next few weeks! I'll be posting more content and resources. I'm not planning another intake of the Lab for now. You can let me know if you are interested in joining the waitlist, but I'm not even sure if I'll offer the class again at this time. What topics would you like resources on over the summer? AI for Learning? AI for Teaching? General AI training? Anything else?

We are seeing a pattern repeat (as often happens with technology). There is a genuine excitement about the potential of Agentic AI in how it can reduce repetitive tasks, automate processes, and support faster results. Often these objectives are offered with the best of intentions. However, we also often see these solutions being developed by inexperienced and/or untrained people. Sometimes, employees, sometimes people come to "sell" us a solution. This happened with websites. When tools for creating websites became widely available, there was a proliferation of sites created to address an immediate or perceived gap in information sharing. The result was information fragmentation, accelerated hosting costs, and inconsistent quality. Agentic AI is repeating this pattern, but with even more potential to be disruptive, harmful, and costly. We need training, governance, and a healthy dose of caution. The "citizen Developer" unicorn needs to be replaced by an "Agentic AI Developer" on an actual job description - with appropriate guardrails and skillsets. Once my current class is over, I plan to create some content/courses on building Agentic AI with intention. Not just "build because we can", but "build with purpose"

June is going to be a busier time here at Learning with AI & Technology I've been able to open up every Thursday from June 11th through the summer to dedicate to our Skool, Livestreams, and courses! This means that June will see the start of two new courses here at Learning with AI & Technology. Learning with AI will run again and there is a new course: The Educator's Income Lab Learning with AI If you are interested in how you can use AI as a Learning Partner - for yourself our students - then this course is there to help. We ran this course earlier this year and it was wonderful to see all the positive feedback and, more importantly, the learning about learning with AI that occurred. This is the course that even lead to me writing my recent book! In this course, you'll learn how AI can be more than an "Answering Machine" and turn into a true learning partner. The course starts June 11, 2026 - enrolment is open and will be limited (I don't think we'll reach the full class size, but I also don't want things to get too crowded) The Educator Income Lab This course is something that came from all the questions I've received from Educators that are looking to share their audience with a broader audience through platforms such as YouTube. For this course, I'm going to have a very limited intake - I would need to have a conversation with you before you enrol to ensure it is a good fit for your objectives and goals. You can book a call to discuss. https://calendly.com/bergdoll-80yb/30min This class will also start June 11th, 2026 - depending in qualified enrolment numbers - I'll run this with even a single student, but I want this to be a strong match for the right students - so please do not enrol until we speak. I'm excited to be able to offer some more classes and resources in June as my schedule has a bit more time in it. Hope to see you in a class and in the conversations as well!
