I spent the last few days in Atlanta at the GEG Leader and AI Educator Academy. I loved hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones. Thanks @GoogleForEdu and @ISTE_ASCD for hosting a great event!

I’m super late in posting but ISTE was incredible. It’s one of my favorite conferences because of the people! The honest conversations, shared ideas, and connections with old (and new) friends always leaves me feeling energized and inspired. I’m already dreaming up exciting things for next year!

Life lately ✈️ IL > TN > MO > MA > NJ > VA — lots of miles, lots of faces. Large groups, small groups… it doesn’t matter, connection is the point. And I love connecting with educators! 🩵

Texas teachers, you showed up in the best way! Recently spent time working with teachers to implement 3D printing in their classrooms and the energy in the room was unmatched. There’s nothing like seeing educators experiment, and push their own learning so their students can do the same.

Dr. Kaylah Holland @hollandkaylah.bsky.social · 01/04/2026
Just wrapped workshops in PA. One of my favorite things about being in person is watching educators embrace something new and immediately start imagining what’s possible. It’s a constant reminder that teachers are students too and also need experiences that are relevant, engaging, and meaningful.

Enjoyed working with educators in Utah to bring 3D printing into their classrooms. 3D printing is considered innovative tech in secure schools. When students can design, test, and create something they hold in their hands, it shifts learning from passive to powerful.

Fresh off a 3rd back surgery, I’m standing on the edge of what I hope is a better chapter. Chronic pain has been my constant shadow these past few years. But despite setbacks, I’m choosing to believe in a pain-free future. Here’s to hard-earned resilience and to building a life not defined by pain.
