Notes From My Desk…
This is where I publish my thinking as it develops.
Some posts explore AI governance, public policy, accessibility, education, and technology. Others are observations about learning, digital culture, or the systems that shape everyday life. Not everything fits neatly into a single category, and that's intentional.
I publish when there is something worth saying rather than to a fixed schedule. Sometimes that means several posts in a week. Sometimes it means a longer pause while I'm researching or building something new.

Educational AI Landscape Update
After months of scattered AI tools making grand educational promises, we finally have enough mature platforms from the major players to conduct meaningful comparative analysis. OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic have each launched distinct educational offerings, each making compelling claims about their pedagogical approach.
The timing raises an interesting question: have these tools reached maturity at the perfect moment, or are we hitting the market just as educators experience AI fatigue?
