Keynotes &
Speaking.

Most AI keynotes finish when the applause does. Dan's begins there.

Keynote topics include AI in education, the future of learning, and how schools, colleges and organisations can prepare for an AI-driven world.

I leave you with clarity about what to do next, who should own it and what could get in the way.

The kind of change people remember.

The best measure of our work is what happens after it. Here's what school and education leaders say about working with Dan.

Getting Dan into your school to speak for one hour will transform your teachers’ way of thinking. It will be the best PD you do all year.

Rachel NairGEMS Royal Dubai School, UAE

Dan’s keynote woke us up to the urgency of embracing AI in education and challenged us to grab the opportunity with both hands. He certainly has left a lasting impression on our entire education service.

Is My Child Addicted to AI? How Much Is Too Much

Parents type this at 10pm and get either a shrug or a scare. Here is the honest answer: there is no diagnosis called AI addiction and no published hours-a-day limit, so the useful question is what the time replaced, not how much of it there was.

My Child Has Been Accused of Using AI. What Should I Do?

An AI detector cannot prove your child cheated, and your child's word alone will not settle it either. A former assistant headteacher on what to do first, what to send the school, and what to say at every age.

Can AI Teach Kids to Read? The Part That Has to Happen Out Loud

Reading is two jobs, and AI is good at one of them. Here is what the randomized trials actually found about AI reading tutors, why your child's school book is deliberately too simple, and the one check to run before you buy anything.

Your Approved AI Tool Just Changed. Is It Still Approved?

The model behind an approved tool can be retired on sixty days' notice, and your governing body may not meet that often. Approval, the way most schools write it, is a photograph. The product is a film. Here is how to decide when a change means a tool needs approving again.

Why AI Champions Programs Fail: The Ceiling Nobody Plans For

Most AI champions programs do not fail. They stop, at the point where the next thing needed is a decision rather than a demonstration. The Champion's Ceiling names the four things no champion can do for you, and what a leadership team should do when the program reaches it.
