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!

Love all the points made Alicia. #1 is key! Technology is a tool that is always evolving. We cannot get lost in all the tech tools available. One must be intentional and purposeful with choosing the tool that supports student learning. That means one must know how their students lean best.

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.

I agree with your takeaways. AI functions as a powerful tool for generating initial ideas and concepts, but it should not be regarded as the definitive or final output.

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.

First day of #TETC in the books, but more to come tomorrow. Join me for tomorrow’s session as we dive into Canva Video Editor. Whether you’re making instructional videos or having your students create their own. We will go over how to get started.

Well I hope the expression on my face was an indication of how happy and excited I was to see you. Thank you for the conversation and laughs.

I volunteered to work #TETC registration this morning but I had to peep in for a few minutes to be a part of the @techtips411.bsky.social experience. Definitely going to make the next session.

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.

deelanier @deelanier.bsky.social · Dec 4

Hey @kshelton.bsky.social I got a story for you. This wonderful lady walks up to me and starts sharing about how much she loves our book and wishes she brought her copy for an autograph. 20 min and two cups of coffee later realize we're Blue Sky buddies! @lpugh3.bsky.social

Now I am totally geeking out 🤪! I am so excited to have met @deelanier.bsky.social in person! Crossing my fingers that I win the companion for The Promises And Perils of AI in Education 🤞🏾!

Even at a conference you have to set time aside for self. Anyone else get in their workout after getting to your hotel? 🏋🏾‍♀️ Ready for tomorrow’s sessions! #TETC

LaToya Pugh @lpugh3.bsky.social · Dec 3

@hookean.bsky.social has a ton of festive science resources. Great resources to take a look at as many are preparing for a close out of the first half of the school year. #BlackEduSky

Dr Dan Jones @hookean.bsky.social · Dec 3

Teachers. If you need a Christmas resource for a lesson over the coming weeks, these may be handy. Lots of festive puzzles and some quizzes too. None are mine but gathered over the years. Hope you find them useful 🎅🎄

I agree! It’s difficult when there are so many great sessions going on at the same time and you have to choose just one☝️during that time slot.

LaToya Pugh @lpugh3.bsky.social · Dec 3

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

I'm still on the look out for Illinois educators who want to be added to a starter pack/list so it's easier for us to connect with each other! I need seven people to get it started. #EduSky #EduSkyIL

Amie Reed @amiereed.bsky.social · Dec 2

I'd like to connect with other educators in Illinois, so I'm going to create a starter pack. I'm also creating a feed for
#EduSkyIL to pull in relevant posts. Let me know if you want added to the pack! #EduSky #EduCoach

I used Slidego for years and now Canva has become my one-stop-shop. I guess I need to revisit Slidego.

LaToya Pugh @lpugh3.bsky.social · Dec 2

I’ve experienced that before! It’s definitely a shift, but I’ve found balance by identifying teachers who are open to trying new strategies and collaborating with them and their students. It also allowed me to stay in practitioner mode, actively applying and refining my skills. #EduSky
