Informative and applicable

Mike's presentation on Al in language learning at the University of Montana was enlightening and inspiring. It highlighted the growing desire for Al-driven feedback, the potential for personalized learning paths, and the need for innovative assessment techniques. It struck the perfect balance-not too abstract, yet not too basic-offering just the right depth. Overall, the most informative, and applicable presentation on Al I have attended.

Mike Kentz is one of the most thoughtful and pragmatic leaders in the Al and education space. I have had the pleasure of working with him on several projects, and his theoretical conceptions about Al implementation and integration grow out of his extensive practice and training. His "Grade the Chats" program is as innovative as it is timely. I highly recommend that any individual, school, or organization seeking guidance on onboarding or improving their interactions with Al tools and processes reach out to Mike to set up a custom program.

Mike is a forward-thinker in this space. We have worked together on multiple projects and I am always impressed by his ability to think-outside-the-box, collaborate, and execute effectively. Highly recommend working with him!
