About Miguel
Education technology, writing, learning, leadership, and the occasional reconsidered opinion
Who I Am
Miguel Guhlin explores the use of educational technology in schools, professional learning, and everyday work. As a longtime edublogger, he writes about how technology can enrich teaching, support students, improve leadership, and make complicated work a little more manageable.
He is especially interested in Gen AI, writing, learning, high-effect size instructional strategies, data privacy, workflow improvement, and practical tools that educators can actually use. That last part matters. A tool that looks impressive but does not survive contact with a real classroom is not very useful.
Current focus: practical Gen AI use, educator-created tools, responsible technology adoption, instructional design, and evidence-informed learning.

What Does the Evidence Say?
A recurring question on this blog is simple: what does the evidence say today? Is the idea true, factual, and accurate? That question applies to new tools, old habits, instructional strategies, and long-held beliefs.
“I have often found that research has changed how I understand something I once held dear. I do my best to follow the evidence, even when it asks me to think again about a topic fixed firmly in my mind.”
Writing Archive
Miguel’s older writing lives at Around the Corner, a retired archive of 5,500+ blog entries on educational technology, leadership, learning, and digital tools. That space ran from 2005 through February 2024.
It was a long run. A very long run. Miguel is glad it exists, and also glad to let it rest.
His writing has received awards and recognition over the years, but Louis L’Amour said it best: “You don’t sail on yesterday’s wind.”
