I have spent the last two days with an awesome Rochester educator group drafting #AI guidance for our teachers and students. Two powerful statements we discussed: AI isn't going anywhere-we can't ignore it. Our students are already using AI; we seek to guide them, not ban it. #edusky

Breakout Boxes: An oldie but a goodie. It was fun to introduce a new group of students to the magic. They were a little thrown off by all the math they had to do in math class. 😂 "I thought this would be a break from math..." #edusky

I got to team up with my best pal (and @sturmdon.bsky.social) to run the @ideaillinois.bsky.social game table at a #STEM fair in the neighboring town! It was fun to play with the students, but it was even better to see my little girl acting all grown up with as she ran the games! 💕

The most I've smiled and laughed in a long time: I had the pleasure of watching some of our seniors perform fables in Spanish. They were amazing! #edusky

I missed #worldsemicolonday. But here's your belated reminder. You are enough. Your story isn't over. You are not alone.
I'm one DM away for anyone in need of someone to talk to.

This is adorable. He is a teacher in my district. He told them he'd get them all ice cream if they get 1 million. They're at 660,000! Watch it. Smile. And help some kids get free ice cream! #edusky #edchat #TikTok www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjJLfvmb/

Update: great tools shared on this thread, but I went with @briskteaching.bsky.social for my ONE tool for HS SS in today's presentation and WOW were they blown away. If you haven't checked out Brisk yet, here's your sign! Give it a try!
If you were going to share ONE must-use tool or resource with a group of high school school social studies teachers, what would you share? #edtech #edusky #Education

I got to watch our art teacher teach a new lesson today, AND she let me demonstrate my learning alongside the students. I'm creating a bowl using the pattern from my signature Dunks. I learned so much. Seriously. Instructional coaching is the best job ever, guys. #edusky
