“Education is the great equalizer of our time. It gives hope to the hopeless and creates chances for those without." — Kofi Annan #BuildHOPEedu

A4 I would like to learn more about the various different AI tools, not only the ChatGPT and Co-pilot and learn how to harness its power to do things differently, to develop critical thinking and to use it to become better independent and autonomous learners to thrive in communities. #BuildHOPEedu

Q4 What would you like to learn more about when it comes to A.I. and technology? #BuildHOPEedu

Q4, last question, is coming up in 1 minute! #BuildHOPEedu

A3 AI can empower learners as it can curate so many other sources to help create connections that students sometimes struggle with. It can be used to search for grander ideas, to push the limits and to think critically as humans to practice creativity. A human's heart should guide AI. #BuildHOPEedu

Q3 How can A.I. empower learners to make a difference? #BuildHOPEedu

Q3 is coming up in 1 minute! #BuildHOPEedu

A2 Some of the challenges with AI is that students will sometimes seek to do work faster, to be less engaged, and to simply want to achieve better with that highter grade. They will seek the shortcut to "show" mastery without actually learning, or wanting to engage with the ideas. #BuildHOPEedu

Q2 What are the challenges surrounding A.I. and its use in our school communities? #BuildHOPEedu

Q2 is coming up in 1 minute... #BuildHOPEedu

A1 AI can be used to test out hypotheses, to brainstorm ideas, to help connect the dots. Can be used to help research challenges in our communities, provide some fresh ideas, but also to provide feedback to continously seek how to better communicate. AI is a tool to support learning. #BuildHOPEedu

Q1 How can A.I. be used in schools using a lens of HOPE? #BuildHOPEedu

Q1 is coming up in 1 minute... #BuildHOPEedu

Good evening #BuildHOPEedu. Roman from Rockland, Ontario, Canada. HS Teacher/Author/Agent of Transformation/Lifelong Learner. Blessed to be with everyone tonight. My first introduction to AI, technically is AI, but in schools, would be with students "cheating" on assignements.

“Take the time to love yourself. You deserve it." —Avina Celeste Next week, Sunday, August 3rd, #BuildHOPEedu will be on a one week summer break as I enjoy a family vacation. May you enjoy your last moments of summer break, or your first few days of the new school year. Be brave! Be you!

“HOPE and fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay." — Maya Angelou #BuildHOPEedu

A4 We need to show kids that teaching is fun. That it is rewarding. Too often, people share the negative, the frustrations, the complaints. But if kids see educators smiling, having fun, wanting to do the work, they will want to be like us. Build in more joy, excitement, fulfillment. #BuildHOPEedu

Q4 How can we inspire future generations to want to become educators, to shine HOPE to future students? #BuildHOPEedu

Q4, last question, is coming up in 1 minute! #BuildHOPEedu

A3 Education is the most beautiful profession there is. Being able to share the journey of leanring and discovery with kids. Helping them find their purpose. Seeing their eyes and face when they get something... Yes there are challenging times. But the incredible moments outshine. #BuildHOPEedu

Q3 With all the challenges, why do you choose to stay in education? #BuildHOPEedu

Q3 is coming up in 1 minute! #BuildHOPEedu

A2 It is so easy to give up. There are so many examples where kids see that we should not continue (people putting us down, creating barriers). They need to see the beautiful & amazing things that can happen when we don't give up. Take challenges, make opportunities. #BuildHOPEedu

Q2 Why is it important to teach perseverance, resiliency, tenacity? #BuildHOPEedu

Q2 is coming up in 1 minute... #BuildHOPEedu

A1 In the work I do, the books I choose, the lessons I plan, the examples I share, I try to always shine HOPE. Kids, like adults, need more examples of positivity, of light, so they can focus on the good. Learning always needs to be tied into making a difference in our communities. #BuildHOPEedu

Q1 How do you share or model HOPE for your students or school community? #BuildHOPEedu

Q1 is coming up in 1 minute... #BuildHOPEedu

A4 As I work in a new role as a district consultant, I want to help teachers thrive and find more joy in learning. I want them to create activities where students are happy, smiling and want to make a difference. Time to create a revolution, a transformation & make learning fun! #BuildHOPEedu

Q4 How can you bring about more joy and student engagement this coming year? #BuildHOPEedu

Q4, last question, is coming up in 1 minute! #BuildHOPEedu

A3 Engagement is seen through excitement, through noise, through collaboration, self-driven curiosity. They are students who want to learn, who stay on task, who are not afraid of the messy. Engagement is not silence or compliancy. Let's get kids moving, get them smiling more. #BuildHOPEedu
