Why Experience My Sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I remember how I felt right before my first keynote. Humbled, honored and nervous, I couldn\u2019t believe people were waiting to hear my story. Now, I am so glad I share it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Patel provided a unique and eye-opening professional development training on AI and its use in education. The two-hour training was full of relevant and intriguing information covering the basics of AI as well as AI tools that could be used in the classroom. The hands-on portion of the training allowed teachers to experience some of the tools first-hand, allowing them to see how AI could help them be more productive in the classroom. I would recommend Dr. Patel as an energetic and knowledgeable presenter with a passion for all things AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From initial contact all the way through the PD itself, Dr. Patel was amazing to work with and provided exactly what she promised, an exciting and eye-opening experience in AI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Patel\u2019s opening dance and connection to culturally relevant teaching and learning was such a powerful visual reminder that we, as educators, must make space for all students to bring their whole selves if we are going to be truly inclusive. This takes a village.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe technology component was extremely helpful in today\u2019s classroom. Learning about our students and really getting to know them is so important and essential. Learning about Dr. Sonal’s experiences encouraged me to consider my own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
