“John delivered a keynote speech via Zoom at our school PD day in February 2026. His talk was focused on AI in education and aligned with our theme for the day which was supporting student growth through the IB Learner Profile. John is extremely knowledgable about the topic of AI and, as he is still in the classroom, presents this knowledge in a relevant, thorough and balanced way. We had a lot of great feedback from staff about John’s presentation and I hope to work with him again in the future. In addition to the keynote, John was generous in sharing some of his key resources and put together a bespoke list of suggested reading for our school.“Natasha Hale Director of Learning & Innovation.

Leading up to our workshop, he worked with me to tailor his material to our faculty’s specific needs (as they relate to virtual learning) and afterwards, left us with practical templates, tool suggestions, and further reading. The faculty loved his workshop, especially because we all came away with something we could implement or rethink. John was also kind enough to offer us extra time and a follow up session so that teachers could ask him individual questions. Thank you so much, John! “ Ryan Burke Dean of Students Seoul Academy
