We chat about educational technology and Tim’s sustained passion for integrating technology in meaningful ways to enhance learning experiences while maintaining the human element. We also chat Tim's book, ‘The Best Way to Learn is to Make. Creativity in a Gen AI World’, which explores the intersection of technology and creativity in contemporary classrooms. Tim reflects on the SAMR model, which encourages using technology not just to substitute traditional methods but to redefine teaching and prepare students for the future. Throughout our conversation, Tim offers practical ways to foster creativity in schools. Tim discusses the importance of nurturing creativity as a skill that can be taught and developed, as well as the potential role of AI in freeing up time for more creative pursuits.
