Teaching. Writing. Technology. Becoming More Human.
I’m Marshall. My students know me as Mr. Pickard.
My work lives at the intersection of education, meaning-making, and innovation. I believe that education and technology should liberate us to become more human.
The Work I Do
🌟 Teaching
I design learning experiences that center belonging, the humanities, and critical thinking and are grounded in research, equity, and real-world classroom practice.
🤖 AI for Education
I build and test practical, human-first AI tools that reduce overwhelm for educators and their students. Think simple tools, real teachers, real classrooms.
✍️ Writing
I write about learning, culture, spirituality, creativity, and how we navigate the space between who we were taught to be and who we’re becoming.
My Approach
I believe:
• Learning should be liberating.
• Technology should expand our humanity.
• Inclusion is a practice, not a buzzword.
• Creativity is how human beings thrive.
