No lies, @scottholcombe.bsky.social is one of the hardest working men I know in education. I am always in awe with his many facets! I am so honored to have worked with him and have contributed our connection beyond that time. Hoping to connect with you at #FETC! #TETC #TNTEA #EduSky #BlackEduSky

Recapping and reflecting on my time at #TETC. I really enjoyed @smilelearning.bsky.social session on incorporating play into your lessons. Her energy is also really infectious. Thank you for the tools to take back. #TNTETA #EduSky #BlackEduSky

Finally had the opportunity to attend a @gregbagby.bsky.social 😁 presentation with @juliedavisedu.bsky.social ☀️ and @gastoncindy.bsky.social ❤️. They all were phenomenal as we engaged in discussions and ideas around fostering student originality and creativity. #TETC #TNTEA #Edusky #BlackEduSky

I had the opportunity to use @markifyapp.com last year with a few of my teachers. This year I got to meet Anthony, founder, and his former teacher. Anthony has done great things with @markifyapp.com and it is continuing to evolve. #TETC #TNTETA #Edusky #BlackEduSky

The highlight of my #TETC conference experience. My only regret is I left my book at home so I didn’t get it signed 😩! But I did experience some great coffee.

Thrilled for the opportunity to attend 2 tech conferences this year! Been to many types of conferences in past years. Over time, my focus at conferences shifted. What’s your main focus when you attend? Is it the sessions, exhibit hall, networking, time away from school, etc? #Edusky #EduBlackSky

AGREE! Students need to engage with it to understand its biases and learn how to navigate them. At the same time, we must better prepare educators and administrators. While tools that simplify tasks are helpful, we need to go deeper to address the broader challenges AI presents. #EdTech

Blocking AI isn’t the answer. It’s time for intentional AI literacy: history, ethics, challenges, and data awareness. Students need to see how critical thinking and analysis skills are even more necessary now than ever before! #EduSky

Tech should empower, not overwhelm! Aligning technology with curriculum ensures learning stays the priority. Expose students to tech intentionally. When tech supports clear goals, it sparks innovation instead of chaos. #EdTech www.techlearning.com/news/the-imp...

Signed up for an online tech PD today. The end of the registration asked for my X handle 🤪. Welp I don’t have one anymore. So I just typed @bsky.app in that field and gave them my @bsky.app handle 😝. How long do you think it will be before people/companies start asking for your BlueSky handle 🤔?

There are so many AI Edu tools that were free because they were in Beta but are now shifting to paid. Hesitant to introduce some to teachers because they shouldn’t have to pay and schools aren’t buying subscriptions at this point. I guess “promptcraft” is essential for teachers to learn. #EduSky
