I spend a lot less time in the edu space on the socials these days thanks to the game I love. Life has gotten busier in a good way. The ice rink brings me joy. Late night skates keep me young. Also having a blast coaching two youth travel teams in WNY. 🏒 winding down, ⚾️ 🥍 ready for 🚀

Applying the SAMR Model in K–12 Education

A3 I shared some of my thoughts related to this here. I think the challenge is when we try to force tech into learning. It needs to be the accelerator, not the driver. #EduSkyChat edtechmagazine.com/k12/article/...

Using technology for learning isn’t new, but the way schools are integrating these teaching tools is.

A2 If accessibility isn’t the trend gaining the most traction, we’re doing something wrong. I know AI is going to lead this convo but accessibility needs to be king. It’s a must to be a part of anything else answered in this question. I know @jordynbzim.bsky.social would agree! #EduSkyChat

It’s been so long since I’ve participated in an edu chat that I typed Q1 when I meant to type A1. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Gotta shake the rust off! #EduSkyChat

A2 I think we’ll continue to see the evolution and advancement of immersive edtech in edu. Augmented & Virtual Reality continue to become more accessible (there’s still work to be done) and also become more practical for integration. #EduSkyChat

Q1 I try to stay up to date with as many learning resources & applications as possible to best support learning/teaching needs. From the teacher side, @briskteaching.bsky.social has really 🤯 our staff. Hoping to use Brisk Boost w/ students to help them level up their learning experience. #EduSkyChat
