Decisions about policy, procurement, and governance
Start with the technology-ecology simulator: introduce one tool into a working school system and surface its hidden prices, uneven effects, and dependencies before committing.
Open AnswerableI work where K-12 leadership, generative AI, media ecology, and durable learning meet. Choose a pathway into the work, or search the connected public ecosystem.
Three quick routes into the same body of work, depending on the decisions you are actually making. Everything here is public and explanatory; none of it collects participant data.
Start with the technology-ecology simulator: introduce one tool into a working school system and surface its hidden prices, uneven effects, and dependencies before committing.
Open AnswerableStart with the games hub: short playable spaces for calibrating how much difficulty an assignment should carry, and for telling productive struggle apart from a barrier to access.
Open the games hubStart with the dissertation overview: the purpose, the three friction dimensions and their infrastructural base, and how the qualitative and quantitative strands converge. The Chapters 1–3 proposal defense passed on August 13, 2026. NLU IRB approved the study as Exempt on October 7, 2026, and data collection began in October 2026. This hub reports no findings.
Open the overviewFour lenses on the screen debate meet one practical question: what changes when schools regulate phones, Chromebooks, platforms, and instructional screen use?
In July 2026, EdSurge published a practitioner account of one school's response to generative AI and reached for unproductive success to name what it was seeing. Worth noting less as press than as evidence: a concept built for the qualifying paper turned out to be useful to educators describing their own classrooms.
The students had technically succeeded while learning very little.
Each pathway has its own focused hub. Together, they show how research questions move into public scholarship, professional learning, and district practice.
Explore the study, its theoretical framework, research design, and the evolving public research ecosystem.
Open dissertation hub 02 / WritingRead essays, conceptual frameworks, article companions, and interactive arguments built for public use.
Open writing hub 03 / PresentationsBrowse keynotes, conference sessions, workshops, and presentation companions designed to remain useful after the event.
Open presentation hub 04 / InteractivesEnter simulations, inquiry games, and interactive tools that make media ecology, source judgment, and pedagogical friction playable.
Open games hub 05 / PracticeSee how the ideas translate into AI strategy, governance, professional learning, technology leadership, and organizational practice.
Explore consultingOne important strand of the work traces how technologies of the word reshape authorship, learning, and institutional life. Tertiary algorithmicity is the present condition under study, not the whole of the ecosystem.
Swipe or use Shift + mouse wheel to move through all five stages.
Search the current GitHub Pages portfolio, micahminer.com pathways, and public research-to-practice writing. Specialized hubs remain the best way to follow each strand as a coherent journey.
