My name is Laura Bungarz. I’m a writer, educator, and trainer with over 20 years of experience in education and technology. My work includes writing and research, tutoring, corporate training, professional development, and exploring the role of AI in education and society.
Across my work, I’m interested in understanding how people learn, how technology influences that learning, and how we identify and address problems.
Writing and Research
Writing is an important part of my work. I explore questions about education, artificial intelligence, technology, learning, and how people understand and evaluate information.
I’m particularly interested in the assumptions we make about how people learn, how we determine whether an educational approach is effective, and how technological change influences our methods of teaching and learning.
My writing includes articles, essays, and longer research-informed projects. I’ve also developed the Philosophy of Integration, which explores relationships between people, technology, information, and the systems in which they operate. My current interests include examining educational research, questioning assumptions about learning, and exploring how AI and other technologies influence education.
Much of my work begins with questioning what we think we know, examining the available evidence, and identifying where our understanding may be incomplete.
Education and Training
I have worked in education for more than two decades, teaching students across different ages, abilities, and learning environments.
My experience includes K–12 education, adult English language instruction, corporate training, and preparing learners for English proficiency tests such as CELPIP.
I also have a background in computer and technology training. I’ve operated a computer training business, provided technical support and user training, and developed instructional materials for online learning.
Today, I offer private tutoring, corporate training, technology and AI training, and professional development for educators.
My approach is practical. I begin by identifying what someone already knows, what they need to learn, and what is preventing them from reaching their goals.
AI, Technology, and Learning
Artificial intelligence has become a significant area of interest in both my professional work and my writing.
I’m interested not only in what AI can do, but also in how people learn to use it, how they evaluate its output, and what assumptions we’re making about its effects on learning.
I believe people need opportunities to understand the technology they use and develop the judgment to decide when and how to use it effectively.
This interest extends beyond AI to broader questions about digital literacy, independent learning, access to information, and the relationship between technology and education.
My Approach
Whether I’m teaching, training, researching, or writing, I tend to begin by asking questions.
What are we trying to accomplish? What do we already know? What assumptions are we making? What evidence supports those assumptions? And what might we be missing?
I don’t believe every problem has a simple solution, or that every new technology or educational approach is necessarily an improvement.
I believe understanding a problem requires examining the circumstances that produced it rather than simply responding to its most visible symptoms.
That approach influences both my professional work and the questions I explore through my writing.
