Great educators aren’t just masters of their subject matter. They are lifelong learners who bring diverse perspectives, adaptability, and real-world experiences into their classrooms. Traveling the world provides an unmatched education that enhances a teacher’s ability to inspire, connect with, and engage students.

As an educator and/or parent, you're probably wondering HOW to teach and work with AI. It isn't easy. The field is constantly changing, and student, parents, and educators don't know where to even start to learn about, utilize, and think about AI.

We all know that students will consider using AI to do their school work this year. And, if they do hit the ‘easy’ button, they’ll most likely be accepting mediocre content. Authentic, human-generated and creative content is becoming a luxury good. Teachers can tell the difference.

You might think that learning is confined to textbooks and lectures, but cultural immersion offers a richer, more nuanced experience. By stepping into different communities and cultures, you confront your own biases and expand your worldview in ways that traditional education simply can't match. This engagement not only enhances empathy but also cultivates essential communication skills necessary for today's interconnected society.
