iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

One of the most encouraging outcomes from sharing my SXSW EDU proposal has been an invitation to continue the conversation with other educators: When AI helps, what thinking still belongs to the student? Originate. Decide. Revise. Defend. Voting ends Aug. 23: bit.ly/SXSWedu27

SXSW EDU 2027 PanelPicker graphic for Barbara Liedahl’s proposal, ‘The Agency Check: What Students Do While AI Works.’ A student writes in a notebook beside the proposal title. Community voting is August 5–23, 2026. Vote at bit.ly/SXSWedu27.

Someone responding to my SXSW EDU proposal asked how we can incorporate AI into STEAM “without losing the creativity.” That question has stayed with me. AI can assist, but students still need to originate, decide, revise, and defend. That’s the Agency Check. bit.ly/SXSWedu27

Tried something today while watching Artemis II: Split screen—live broadcast on one side, ChatGPT on the other. Asking questions in real time made the whole experience so much richer. Highly recommend trying this with any live event. #mediaartsedu #NASA #ARTEMISII

The #FETC 2025 party is sadly over, and I am already missing my educator friends. If you were part of my FETC, many thanks for your kindness, laughter, and curiosity. I kind of wish there was an after-party so I did not have to work on slides and could hang out with educator friends.
