Q4 If you could design your ideal AI assistant or tool, what features or qualities would it have and why? #tlap

A3 I mean tbh...AI is the worst it will ever be right now; it's only going to get better! I can't imagine not using it to do more transformative things. I'm excited about the future of AI + me. :) #tlap

Q3 again... #tlap

A2 On a personal level--I'm floored with its level of social awareness and empathy...like how?! The responses it gives me when asking dating advice and such is astounding. (Given I haven't dated in almost 3 decades...it's nice to have AI to guide me.) LOL. #tlap

Q2 What has surprised you the most in your experience using or learning about AI so far? #tlap

A1: I would say I am an intermediate level user at best, currently. I need to step up my #ai game a bit. I do like some of graphics it has made me!! #tlap

A1 It's always my go-to! Have an open tab all the time, and the app on my phone might as well be my personal assistant, therapist, and boyfriend all in one! LOL #tlap

Q1 is up! #tlap

I'm Tara from Cincy! Currently obsessed with sourdough bread!! Specifically...cinnamon sourdough bread. Delish! #tlap

#tlap...Hey friends...we are trending! That's fun! EEEK!

This is a book your heart needs to hear!! Kim Bearden's (and DBC's) first poetry collection, I Really Need You to Hear This--is available for pre-release! It releases TOMORROW, 6.2.25!🎂🎉 Learn MORE right HERE: 📖 www.amazon.com/dp/195630695... #tlap

100% THIS!!! #tlap

Q4 Can you share a time when a student’s poem (or project) shifted your understanding of who they are or what they were experiencing? #tlap

A3 Creativity is an amazing gift. I love how it's different for everyone AND I love that it can bypass stereotypes. Our jobs are not only to teach content, but showcase (loudly or quietly depending on the kid) shower them with praise and encourage the poem, the art, the music - whatever it is! #tlap

Absolutely! #tlap Same with adults showing what they're learning about their practice and what they're improving.

A3 I love to have kids write poetry where they don't necessarily have to worry about rhyming. A lot of raw, emotional words seem to pop from the pages! #tlap

A3: Hey!! We have a WHOLE book on powerful ways to implement poetry across the curriculum!! #YouArePoetry by @mr-m-johnston.bsky.social !!! a.co/d/34tXRAj #tlap #EduSky #dbcincbooks

Q3 is up!! #tlap

A2: At the end of each course (the end of each sem.), I have students fill out evaluations. I say, "The version of this class that YOU'RE getting is based on what previous students said they liked, didn't liked, needed, wanted, etc." Now I'll take what YOU tell me and build next year's class. #tlap

A2: Love to offer up TONS of choice for HOW they demonstrate their learning. We can't always allow full freedom of the WHAT...but the HOW???? Let them go wild. #tlap

A1: it’s the little things… like asking them about their soccer game, noticing their new hair cut, following up on something they shared with you. It all develops relationships and a safe space. Hey… I just wrote about this: www.annickrauch.ca/2025/05/30/t... #tlap

Q2 What role does student choice play when planning lessons and activities? #tlap

A1: 3 thoughts: Emphasize and teach a culture of psychological safety. Allow some responses to by anonymous. Always allow the option of sharing with you as the teacher without sharing with the whole class. #tlap

A1 - Just being real. Engaging in conversation other than curriculum. Going to see them outside of school. #tlap

Q1 again... #Tlap

Hi everyone, T—from Cincy! Something that made me laugh—dancing at the Italian Fest!💃Had so much fun—even got a glitter tattoo! All the proceeds went to a local school, too! #tlap

A3: What he said👇🏻 So mich of that in cuisine too! Traditional ans cutting edge! #tlap

Q4 Last Stop: Egypt What would you hope to explore here? How might you bring that experience back to the classroom? #tlap

A2: definitely the Amazon forest! And have students compare similarities and differences from our forests! #tlap

A3: Japan. I am most drawn to the idea that there is extremely significant traditional practices...and yet cutting-age innovation, as well. I like that combo. How can we embrace innovation without losing touch with important cultural traditions. #tlap

Q3 again... #tlap

I’ve been SO LUCKY! In the past year, I’ve seen them 3 times! #tlap

Q2 Next up is Brazil! What would you hope to explore here? How might you bring that experience back to the classroom? #tlap
