Pizza, Pedagogy, and Pixels: My 2026 AI Workflow 🚀

Using my Breville Pizzaiolo as a case study, here is the 3-step "recipe" for this content:


  1. Visuals: Genspark Slides for high-fidelity technical assets.
  2. Structure: Google Slides for the pedagogical narrative.
  3. Production: Google Vids for AI-driven narration and cinematic assembly.

  4. Stacking these tools slashes production time, letting us focus more on the "human" side of education (and eating the pizza).

Cape May VR: Unity Framework

Using a "blank slate" Unity VR template, I am exploring how AI-driven environments can bridge the gap between physical memory and digital persistence.

Adobe Creative Educator Level 1

The Level 1 assignment involved creating a creativity collage. I created the following creativity collage graphic (pictured above) using Adobe Spark as well as images drawn from Adobe Stock. This graphic represents ways of supporting students' creativity by allowing them to use different modalities (i.e. video, 3D modeling, VR, writing, painting, audio, podcast, drawing) in meeting course learning objectives.

I transform passive courses into high-impact digital experiences. Leveraging an MA.Ed and two decades in Higher Ed, I bridge the gap between emerging tech (AI/VR) and inclusive andragogy to create learning that is experienced, not just consumed.
