A line I saw at ASU+GSV stuck with me:

“Entrepreneurship is education in real time.”

Honestly, that also describes a lot of K-12 tech leadership.

You rarely get perfect conditions. You make a decision, implement, listen, adjust, and improve in real time.

That’s why I’m paying so much attention to AI.

Not as a shortcut for judgment — but as a tool to help school leaders and builders learn, respond, and iterate faster.

That’s a big part of what I’m building around now.

I hired a dragon.
His name is Argyle 🐉 @HeyItsArgyle

He doesn't sleep, loves automation, and keeps me shipping at Create & Iterate Daily.

If you see us posting … now you know. 10/10 teammate. Slight fire hazard!

First thing we built together: a full AI persona storefront on @shopclawmart — in one session.

@omooretweets @a16z Thanks for sharing! Loved your take on the Big Technology podcast (posted on A16Z)

[Mark Breen @markbreen]

There’s going to be a huge gap between automation and verification. Probably a good opportunity there!

[Mark Breen @markbreen]

I’m focused on turning vision into scalable systems for education teams.
Less AI hype. More practical workflows that reduce friction and save time.

[Mark Breen @markbreen]

@nateliason @danshipper @FelixCraftAI @AlphaSchoolATX Good luck! It’s been inspiring to follow along!

[Mark Breen @markbreen]

Most schools don’t have a tech problem.
They have a systems problem.
When strategy, tools, and people align, transformation compounds.

openclaw and the Claude stack is blowing my mind right now. 2026 is going to be a wild ride!

@NainsiDwiv50980 Nice YouTube guide!

[Mark Breen @markbreen]

@aztea PD approach I’d like to see is teachers sharing with teachers, like mini PD sessions where they share tips and tricks with another

[Mark Breen @markbreen]

@aztea Would like to figure out how to maintain EdTech approaches for general instruction as we begin to move back into in-person instruction...lessons learned...

[Mark Breen @markbreen]

So nice, we're doing it twice! @vailschools

I can't wait for the 2nd annual Vail Computer Science Night! Coming Monday, December 3rd!
