Higher ed is still where learning tech gets tested first, but the lessons go far beyond campus.
AI in design, equitable hybrid models, and faculty leadership are reshaping how people learn everywhere.
Adoption isn’t the end goal. It’s where better learning and leadership start.

The best STEM programs connect curiosity to action.
When schools and teams use tech to turn ideas into real problem solving, they build a mindset that lasts. That same mindset drives innovation at work: learning, testing, and improving together. #StemDay

Hybrid work and learning have changed what access looks like. When leaders and teams can connect as if they’re in the same room, creativity and inclusion grow naturally. The best tech makes that possible by keeping the focus on people, not tech.

On World Food Day, I’m thinking about how food security shapes learning. A hungry student can’t focus on creativity or collaboration. Equity begins when communities. schools and orgs work together to ensure every learner has what they need to learn and succeed.

EdTech moves fast, and one place I track what’s next is Tech & Learning’s Show & Tell. A tool that turns notes into narrated visual summaries caught my eye. The question is: does AI in learning drive deeper engagement and or just clutter up workflows?

World Teacher’s Day reminds us what powers learning: people. Teachers create belonging, spark curiosity, and show students what is possible. The best innovation supports their work and helps their impact reach even further.

Every great teacher is a doorway. They open paths students might never see on their own. They create belonging, spark curiosity and turn possibility into progress. When I think of transformation and innovation, it’s always people I see opening the doors.

We treat innovation like it’s always about adding more platforms, more features or more data. But the real success is in the results that tend to happen when we reduce the noise, like stronger relationships, better collaboration and measurable outcomes.

Only 10% of HR + L&D pros say their workforce has the right skills for the next 1–2 years.
85% have learning systems in place, but just 6% call them “outstanding.”
So I’ll ask: How do we turn learning systems into strategies that drive real outcomes?

Ever notice how the best ideas in learning don’t start in a strategy deck?
They start in the hallway. Or at 7:15 a.m. when a teacher hacks a lesson with whatever’s on hand. Or in a partner call where someone says “what if we…”
The challenge: how do we catch those sparks before they fade?

AI in higher ed isn’t about banning or detecting, it’s about trust, skills, and integrity. Used well, AI strengthens authentic voice, prepares students for the future, and builds judgment alongside literacy. The opportunity is massive. So is the responsibility.

Traditional offices run on rigid tools. Intelligent workplaces run on integration, where displays, cloud, and collaboration systems adapt to people, not the other way around.
The result: less friction, stronger connection, and teams free to focus on ideas, not IT.

Collaboration turns learning into a shared journey. #Students and teachers exchanging ideas, asking questions, and solving problems together boost understanding, creativity, and communication skills. Technology helps, but human connection remains key to meaningful learning.
