What No Man’s Sky Can Teach Us About Good Learning

When my son asked to buy No Man’s Sky, I did what I always do: I researched it. What I found was a game that teaches chemistry, problem-solving, exploration, and language acquisition better than many textbooks I have read. Seymour Papert argued decades ago that curriculum designers have a lot to learn from video game designers, and this game is a living example of why. From Vygotsky’s scaffolding to a Rosetta Stone style language mechanic, the learning design is remarkable. Underneath it all is a family story about shared curiosity, audiobooks, Artemis Two, and exploring the universe together.

Artificial Intelligence for Parents

Parents have always faced the challenge of guiding children through new technologies. Today the focus is on artificial intelligence. Tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini are powerful and evolving quickly. Some parents may want to block them, but blocking rarely works. Instead, the best approach is to get involved. Learn what AI can and cannot do. Explore its possibilities with your kids. Use it to spark curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Technology will keep changing, but the most important part is the connection we build with our children as we explore the world and learn side by side.

Books, Birthdays, and the Legacy of Storytelling

After a recent presentation at the 4th Annual Dual Language Symposium hosted by the Texas Association of Bilingual Education I reflected deeply on the power of books and storytelling in my family’s life. Coincidentally that same week was Father’s Day weekend which brought back memories of my grandfather who raised me through stories music and meaningful conversations. Every year around my kids’ birthdays I give them books chosen with love and intention continuing the tradition he started. He often said to read the best books first because life is short. Reading together or discussing these books brings a magic that continues the legacy my grandfather began.

Chez Louis, Where AI Meets Imagination

In this blog post, I share how a memorable anniversary trip to Paris inspired me to recreate an authentic French bistro experience at home for my kids, using the power of AI. With the help of ChatGPT, I designed a full French menu, created engaging activities, generated custom illustrations, and even wrote a bilingual story to bring the culture, food, and language of France to life. This post explores how parents and educators can use AI to design immersive, educational experiences that blend creativity, language learning, and family connection, all with accessible technology and imagination.

Violence, Literature, and the Power of Shared Curiosity

When my teenage son asked to read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy (a novel known for its extreme violence and literary acclaim) I wasn’t sure what to do. In this blog post, I share how we turned a controversial American classic into a shared father-son reading project. We explored history, moral choices, and the connection between the novel and the video game Red Dead Redemption. This post reflects on parenting, literature, and the power of reading together in a world that demands critical thinking and emotional growth.
