I'm thrilled to announce my new book, AI Optimism, released today! This guide to redefining education with artificial intelligence introduces my new framework and is grounded in best practices. View on Amazon: amzn.to/3FOPxWf #AIOptimism #AI #AIEdu #EduSkyAI #EduSky
This #Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for fresh starts and the trust that comes with them.
Launching @phygitalllabs.com this year has been incredible thanks to this community. To everyone who reached out, referred colleagues, or sent encouragement—thank you. Here's to building capacity together. #EduSky

Spotted at #NYSCATE: a “vintage” Phygital Labs shirt circa 2019! Shout out to Mark Henkels for representing with brand attire at the conference today. What a fun surprise!

We were pleased to be invited to support Microsoft Education with 8 sessions on AI for education at this week’s #NYSCATE conference for educators and IT staff in Syracuse, New York. What a great way to wrap up the month!

From the pages of #AIOptimism - another reminder that innovation is a mindset, not a tech tool! Learn more about this framework and how it can help shift us from focus on tools to focus on pedagogy. Grab a copy, invite me to a book study, or ask me to speak. We can be AI Optimists together! #EduSky

What a privilege to spend a day with NBCTs from around Arizona discussing #AIOptimism and how to implement artificial intelligence in their classrooms, focusing on praxis, privacy, and prompting. It was an absolute joy to teach, support, laugh, and learn together. #EduSky

What a night! Energetic networking, fresh seafood, gorgeous venue, and amazing community. The #Seattle edition of Canva Connect was a vibe! We're always glad to see our creator friends, and look forward to supporting more businesses and universities with #Canva training.

Will we see you at #NYSCATE? We're excited to attend and present on behalf of #MicrosoftEdu next week in New York. Becky will be sharing Copilot as an AI assistant, specifically focused on educator and student use cases.

New podcast alert! Live from #ISTE2025 so it feels a little like a throwback but the content is still completely relevant. Join Georgia Terlaje, Matt Winters, and me as we talk #AIOptimism from the ISTE Playgrounds.

I am so excited to be sharing #AIOptimism with Arizona #NBCT teachers today!

Each time I share the personalities of AI and give the survey, these are the results. In general, this means that your department or work group likely brings a variety of perspectives. Listen, validate, and learn from one another. We can all be AI Optimists while honoring our lenses.

One of the principles of the #AIOptimism Framework is prompting. For creating activities with Canva Code, I encourage educators to first imagine what they'd like to create, then write a descriptive prompt to match. In this example, I show 3 steps to write a great prompt and model my results. #EduSky

How am I just now seeing this? AI Literacy: A Framework to Understand, Evaluate, and Use Emerging Technology was published in June 2024. I really recommend the sections on Core Values, the Ethics Matrix, and the student use trajectory. A great resource! Link > files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED6...

Checking in at the hotel here in Austin, the staff member confirmed my email for the receipt without saying the whole thing aloud for the entire lobby to hear. I complimented her and she said “just protecting your privacy.” Nicely done! #DigCit

I set my Lyft account to automatically round up and donate to my local YMCA. Today it is costing me ONE PENNY. But can you imagine what would happen if everyone on Lyft did this?! If you think it takes a village, be a villager. 👏🏽

With 15 flights in the next 6 weeks, winter weather, and government chaos, I finally installed the Flighty app. I’ve seen it highly recommended by so many other travelers and I am already impressed with the notifications!

I'm setting a personal goal to finally set aside time to explore Affinity before the end of the year. I'm familiar with Adobe Photoshop (a fun fact: I taught digital photography as an elective!) and use Lightroom daily. It will be great to learn a new tool and see how the two compare. #EduSky

I'm honored to have been invited to keynote the "AI in a Day" event at the University of Texas at Austin this week.

When you’re a teacher so writing the months of the year out in order automatically starts with September.

Normally I’d be pointing people to webinars by @phygitallabs.com… but this recent one from Canva is worth sharing. This hits the #AIOptimism Framework in four of the six categories! #EduSky #EduSkyAI #Canva
