"The Human in the Machine" A Keynote by Gilles

Gilles is an educator, technology leader, and AI training specialist on a mission to help teachers, schools, and entire school districts navigate the rapidly evolving world of Artificial Intelligence in education. His approach is grounded in one core belief: technology should amplify the human in every classroom, not replace it.

He delivers dynamic, hands-on AI training that cuts through the hype — giving educators the clarity, confidence, and practical strategies they need to integrate AI effectively and responsibly into their practice. Whether working with an individual teacher, a full staff, or an entire school district, Gilles meets people where they are and moves them forward.

Currently teaching at École Lindsay Thurber Composite High School in Red Deer, Gilles brings over three decades of professional development experience to everything he does. A Google Certified Trainer, Apple Teacher, and Adobe Train the Trainer, he has spent his career at the forefront of educational technology — teaching Google Apps, driving technology integration, and inspiring students to reach beyond the classroom, including taking learners to Skills Canada competitions to showcase their talents in 3D animation.

AI is not the future of education. It's the present — and Gilles is here to help you lead it.
