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! #travel

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

Are you registered? Sign up for this week's free webinar from #PhygitalLearning showcasing the all-new Hour of AI activities from #MinecraftEdu.

I'm honored to have been invited to keynote the "AI in a Day" event at the University of Texas at Austin this week. I'll be speaking about The Power of Partnerships in higher education to a combined audience of staff and faculty, as well as spreading some #AIOptimism along the way. #HED #AIEducation

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

I love being able to skip to a topic to review content from a recorded Teams call. Check out all those talking points from yesterday's #PhygitalLearning webinar! #Copilot #AI

New blog post is out! "Building Community "67" Ways - a reflection on building unity in our classrooms around joyful, inclusive, and potentially meaningless unifiers.

Oh my goodness, I am so excited to be sharing next week as part of the Brisk Innovators webinar series! Join me and @elisabostwick.bsky.social as we discuss the #AIOptimism Framework and how it can help schools make informed decisions about #AI. Sign up with the link! #EduSkyAI

Eeek! Can't wait for the @canva keynote tomorrow, and the #Seattle world tour stop next week. Anyone else going to the Seattle event?

I'm excited to be included as a panelist at the upcoming Seattle Games and Education Industry Collider! Come join us as we hear from Portal 2 lead designer Kim Swift and explore the expo hall to experience games together. @PhygitalLabs will have a table too! #EduSky #GBL

As #Windows10 sunsets, I thought it would be fun to resurrect a video from a series I did for education with my friend Brett... ah, the memories! #MicrosoftEdu youtu.be/ReXiqu-QEDI?...

Thank you, Laurie Kirkland, for sharing your thoughts about AI Optimism. Your role at the AVID Center over the past decade has had a profound impact on students everywhere, and I hope my message can have the same impact someday, too. #AIOptimism #AIEdu

It's Halloween week, and I'm hosting an edtech version of Trick or Treat. Reply to this post with your favorite edtech trick, and why it's a treat for you! #EdTech #TrickorTreat #EduSky

Did you hear about all the updates to Copilot that are free for education? We're hosting a #PhygitalLearning webinar so educators can learn more. See the new Teach and Learn features available, and get started using #Copilot more effectively.

Many of you know me as a Microsoft fan, but I want to be able to support every teacher in every school who asks me to visit, regardless of their selected platform. And I find value in understanding the different feature sets available in various tools. I completed several new certs today! #EduSky

Hahahaha. A Friday funny for you, #AIEdu. #EduSkyAI

Keyboard shortcuts aficionados take note! #Canva shortcuts abound on this cheat sheet in Design School. Looking at you Seth Fewell!

I was recently gifted this new book for educators and system leaders called AI Express. What impressed me the most is that the book is written by two educators who actually did this work for two years before creating a resource-packed guidebook about it.

I've really been enjoying Grammarly! It pops up everywhere I am in a web browser, offering helpful tips and revisions. Sometimes I accept them, and sometimes I don't - that's up to my human judgment. #AI #ELA

Phygital Labs supports #esports, and we specialize in helping schools get started through coaching workshops. Learn more about our sessions on our website, or contact us to discuss how we can help guide your esports program from season zero to success!

I thought I would start sharing a few snippets directly from the pages of #AIOptimism. (And since I'm the author, I don't have to depend on a photo of the book!) Here's a quick quote from a section on using AI to analyze readiness data and make informed decisions for staff development.

I'm looking forward to bringing #AIOptimism to #TechFest2025 next week! This local event in Washington is FREE for anyone working in a school system, and includes breakfast, lunch, and speakers from around the Puget Sound region. See you on October 30 in Tulalip!

ICYMI: Some partnerships evolve into even better things! ✨ On October 1, we announced that @beckykeene.com is taking her education expertise to lead Phygital Labs LLC This amicable transition showcases what happens when passionate people follow their calling. Follow @phygitallabs.com today!

Notes in my inbox are the best! Sometimes people apologize for the DM - why would any author ever mind a compliment in a personal message?! Huge thanks to the people who take two minutes out of their day to brighten someone else's. This #AIOptimism comment makes me smile!

It was great to have a conversation with Peter Scott from AI & You, talking about AI Optimism, education, and more. This under-30 episode is available to listen to from anywhere and was just released this week! Link in threads.

I'm super excited to be visiting Chattanooga, Tennessee, in December for the TETA Conference as a Featured Speaker! I'll be sharing six sessions about AI in education. I was even more excited when I saw the other featured speakers - what a lineup. #TETA2025 #AIOptimism

A good day. 🏃🏾‍♀️

It was great to be able to speak with TVCC head #esports coach James Jones about the benefits of esports last week, onsite in the players lab during a practice! Watch this one-minute video to learn more about his experience. zurl.co/nnfOS

I'm sitting down to prepare my monthly newsletter and realized it's probably a good time to let my new followers know that I have one! It's called Release Notes, and every month I send out a recap of edtech updates in various apps as well as links to learn more from me. #EduSky #EduSkyAI

Did you know that I was already writing #AIOptimism when this podcast came out? It was perfect to see people I respect in education already talking about the concept, and it empowered me to reach out to Ruben to write the forward! Special thanks to @Sparvell for connecting the dots.

I was fortunate to join many podcasts over the summer and fall, all talking #AIOptimism and the framework in my book. If you missed one and want to catch up, I have a @wakelet.com collection for that! Pick an episode and make sure to share your thoughts with the hosts. wakelet.com/wake/WkMi8ki...

👀 Looks closely for “cheating on essays.” #AI #AIEducation

New blog post went live this morning! Shout out to my mom for the title: “The Hesitant CEO.” beckykeene.com/2025/10/04/t...

What an amazing morning delivering a keynote on #AIOptimism and the power of partnerships with Trinity Valley Community College faculty and staff! The response was amazing (and my stack of books sold out). I can’t wait to hear how the potential of AI positively impacts their students. #AI #EduSky

I'm just completely blown away by the response to my book #AIOptimism. What an honor to continue summer's momentum into the fall and beyond with speaking engagements all over the country!

ICYMI: October 1, we announced our new CEO, @beckykeene.com ! Becky has a background in game based learning, AI, and all things innovative in education. She has worked with K12 and higher ed to improve outcomes in teaching and system operations. Can't wait for what's next!

It was so fun to see me listed as @techamys.bsky.social's "player two" in the AI playing cards for #FETC in January! I can't wait to share SIX sessions with attendees all about #AIOptimism and playful learning - especially considering my new role at @phygitallabs.com. #EduSky
