Teacher, Curriculum Designer & theatre history
Google Gemini called me an ‘ancient futurist’.
It started as a bit of fun. My daughter uploaded my profile to see how an AI might reconcile the many themes of my 50-year career. The chatbot’s verdict? I am an Ancient Futurist.
I love that title. It captures the bridge I’ve built between 1976 and 2026—joining my experience in K-12 classrooms, tertiary teaching, my seven textbooks, and a prize-winning doctorate in theatre history with the cutting-edge challenge of Generative AI.
Today, I use that “Ancient” wisdom to equip teachers with the “Futurist” tools they need to meet the impact of AI with creativity and rigor. As a member of the Curriculum Writers Association Australia, I’m here to show you how past experiences can enrich present-day curriculum challenges.
