written takeaways submitted live by attendees at Tim's sessions since October 2025. A selection, quoted as written:

Most interesting and applicable I've heard in years.

Attendee · Adjunct Day of Learning, Lone Star College-Tomball, 2026

The practical use of AI for not only student learning, but for useful analysis of how we design our courses and assessment tools. VERY well done!

Attendee · LSCS New Faculty Cohort, 2025

This presentation was absolutely relevant to what I do, day to day. I wasn't aware of how many areas of my job AI could assist with, till this presentation.

Attendee · Lone Star College System HR Conference, 2026

I enjoyed learning about how to create an agent, that will be really helpful for my job. I created 4 different agents this morning.

Attendee · AI 101 Workshop, Dona Ana Community College, 2026

Understanding this tool is much easier than staying in fear or a state of anxiety about it.

Attendee · LSCS New Faculty Cohort, 2025

Tim does a great job of explaining things and very engaging.

Attendee · LSCS Dual Credit Summit, 2025

The idea of comparing results a student obtained using AI to what they produced independent of AI is a new concept I never considered for assessing learning.

Attendee · Adjunct Day of Learning, Lone Star College-Tomball, 2026

Great overview of key AI practices and concepts. Speaker very engaging and entertaining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tim present virtually?

Yes. Every session can be delivered in person or live online, and the interactive pieces, including live takeaway collection and hands-on building, work in both formats.

Can a session be tailored to our campus?

Yes. Each engagement starts with a planning call about your audience, your approved AI tools (for example Microsoft Copilot), your policies, and the outcomes you want attendees to leave with.

How far ahead should we reach out?

Convocation and professional development dates fill early. Send an inquiry as soon as you have a date or a date range, and Tim will confirm availability.

Will attendees get hands-on practice?

Yes. Workshops are built around making something during the session, such as a custom chatbot, an agent for a recurring task, or a redesigned assignment.
