I had meetings with some of the best teachers I know this week and this was on the inside door of the classroom. It's funny because although i'm invited to stop by to help, so many times i'm the one who leaves more inspired + learning something by the teachers and classrooms that I visit. ❤️ #EduSky

💻 New School Year!! Motivated by the reminders our keynote presenter Molly Kennedy shared about overcoming obstacles and building the unstoppable mindset and paradigm shift as a way to develop a resilient mindset. 🌱 Where your focus goes, that's what grows 🧠 What you believe is what you get #EduSky

Keep going. Keep trying. The journey is what means the most. Answers don’t always wait at the end. Sometimes, they’re found inside the questions we ask along the way.

A view from the classroom of one of the best middle school ELA teachers I know. The side of this bookcase is covered in inspiring reminders. Love it. 📚 🤍 We looked at different AI platforms/tools to see how they might assist w/ feedback in writing during the student revision/editing process. 🤓 🤖

3rd grader interested in learning Python. 😎 Set him up today using @codehs.bsky.social's Intro to Python with Tracy the Turtle. 🐢 In this section, the task asks to create a dashed line. He coded, caught an error, fixed it, got it! ✅ Bonus: hearing him say "Boink" at the end. ❤️ #EduSky

Little by little, a little becomes a lot. Here are some photographs to pixels I’ve created. Love seeing them together like this. All that you do adds up. Keep going. ▫️▫️▫️

When people can't see the vision. When the vision isn't understood. It's ok. Keep going. After Professor Michael Dertouzos explains the vision of an "information marketplace" he got, "I quite disagree" & "That won't work".

CoSpaces Edu ➡️ DX The best create-your-own AR/VR/360 spaces for students and schools has a new look and name. #EduSky

Loved kicking off staff PD in my district with a digital Breakout EDU game called "The Commute". 🤓🔒🔓 Breakouts are such a fun way to start sessions. Clues, puzzles, team work, active engagement, educational, and a great way to experience what students experience when they play them in class. #EduSky

We love Makedo and the non-tech STEAM work they're doing that paves the way for design thinking that can be used when students move into using tech tools for their creations. And they do some cool collaborations with tech like Sphero. Thanks for capturing this @mariagalanis.bsky.social! #EduSky

At #IDEAcon one of my favorite vendors there was Makedo, a company founded in Australia. 🌏 Ironically they're not even that techie. 🤓 Love their focus on playful creativity. Kids create and build with cardboard at school (or home) using the Makedo super cool tools.

"What is the internet anyway?" This was 31 yrs ago. One of my favorite videos as a reminder how much things will change. We look at this video now & think wow. Makes me wonder in another 31 yrs what people will be looking back at from now in the same way. Will it be AI? Blockchain? Something else?

walked outside this morning and heard birds chirp and sing. 🤍 such an undefeated sound. there’s just something about it and it makes me stop and look up too which i love. what i love the most is they’re such a gift by just doing their thing being themselves.

No matter how much tech is around us, how much things advance, I really truly believe this with all my heart… People will gravitate to core values, to the goodness around and to what has been instilled, to the things that bring meaning and that matter. ❤️
