My Mission

Welcome to my blog. Thinkingwithmachines.blog exists to examine how artificial intelligence and modern technologies shape learning, design, and human decision-making.

​

This blog explores the intersection of AI, learning technologies, instructional design, and creative practice, with a focus on how systems learn and how designers think within those systems as well as information on artificial intelligence. Rather than treating technology as a replacement for human insight, this space treats AI as a tool for amplification, reflection, and responsible problem-solving.

​

The mission is to:

• Clarify how AI influences learning, cognition, and instructional systems

• Examine design as a thinking discipline, not just an aesthetic output

• Translate complex technologies into practical, human-centered applications

• Challenge assumptions about automation, creativity, and intelligence

• Support educators, designers, leaders, and learners who work between structure and imagination

This blog is grounded in practice, scholarship, and lived experience across education, military leadership, creative design, and technology integration. It values precision over hype, curiosity over certainty, and responsibility over convenience.

When systems learn & designers think, better questions emerge.

This blog exists to ask those questions, examine the answers, and improve how we build, teach, and create in a machine-assisted world.
