Michael Boll — technology coach and educator who helps teachers learn and use AI. He leads professional learning, focuses on practical classroom use (brainstorming, lesson ideas, tutoring support), and thinks a lot about how to guide—not block—AI in schools. Michael also shares how parenting a son with profound autism shapes his views on learning and support.

Tim and Michael unpack what AI can (and can’t) do in schools right now, cutting through hype and fear. They talk about everyday teacher uses (brainstorming, drafting, adapting lessons), the ethics of student use and citation, and the promise of AI tutors to personalize learning—especially for students with disabilities—if educators lead with clear structures and guardrails. The big message: learn the tools, expect some mess, and guide the narrative together.
