In this episode of Vetted by Mark Vetter, Mark sits down with Dr. Micah Shippee, Director of Education at Samsung, former classroom teacher, researcher in innovation adoption, and futurist.
The conversation goes far beyond hardware. Together, they explore how schools can move from simply integrating technology to truly adopting innovation in ways that improve teaching and learning.
Dr. Shippee shares his journey from 22 years in the classroom to leading education strategy at Samsung, and explains why the most important question about any technology is not what it does today, but where it is going next. The discussion covers AI in education, digital safety, FERPA and COPPA considerations, screen-time concerns, collaborative learning spaces, and Samsung’s vision for interactive displays that amplify teachers’ existing workflows rather than forcing schools into a closed ecosystem.
You’ll also hear practical examples of how AI-powered features such as live transcription, lesson summaries, formative assessment tools, and searchable notes can support accessibility, IEP accommodations, and student understanding.
Whether you’re a superintendent, principal, technology director, instructional coach, or classroom teacher, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the future of educational technology and the human decisions that will shape it.
