I'm looking forward to learning from Kendall Zoller this week at Learning Forward Florida! I've enjoyed digging into his book and wrote this post for @learntexas.bsky.social about a few of his steps of presentation choreography. #LFTXLearns #FloridaLearns #EduSky

I really enjoyed our last discussion protocol of the day at #LFNTX! Partners had a prompt related to the topic, we reflected about our wish to do more, do less, do better, or do different…then turned and discussed with a partner! Thanks Laura M for a fabulous day of learning! #LFTXLearns

I always enjoy PoP time at #LFNTX! It's energizing to hear what other professional learning leaders are doing in their schools/districts. I often gravitate to the alternative forms of PD discussion, and I love hearing the creativity happening around the area! @learntexas.bsky.social #EduSky

I'm so happy to get to learn with #LFNTX #EDUfriends today! Love the theme and connections and that we started the day sharing glows! ✨ (Shoutout AoG and Laura Moore for not starting with logistics! 😜) #LFTXLearns @learntexas.bsky.social #EduSky

I volunteered in the perfect spot for me - surrounded by books at ISTECentral! Loved connecting with new friends, and left a rec for Teach Happier! ❤️ #ISTELive + #ASCDAnnual

I'm really looking forward to learning from Scott Shigeoka on the mainstage at #ISTELive + #ASCDAnnual! For a recent presentation about sparking curiosity, I used this quote from his book Seek. ❤️ @communityleaders.bsky.social‬ @isteofficial.bsky.social‬ #EduSky

It’s always wonderful to be around these #EDUFriends! Today we debriefed the LFTX conference, shared ideas for creating Gemini Gems, and discussed so many books, including the Choreography of Presenting. 📚 I ❤️ our DFW #CoffeeEDU community!

Just had an absolute blast discovering how toys can teach us powerful leadership lessons @learntexas.bsky.social conference! 🧸✨ Feeling super grateful for winning an amazing book to dive even deeper into this playful wisdom. 📚🙌 #LFTX25 #LFTXlearns @kklaster.bsky.social

I had a terrific time sharing "Lasting Learning" with PISD math teachers! 🤓 Thanks @mslkile.bsky.social for sharing the PZ thinking routine Creating Space for Learning. It was the perfect way to start the day! And thanks @kristinhebert.bsky.social for the invite! ✨ pz.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

If you want to read a carefully considered blog post on #professionallearning , go to Kathryn Laster's site! This post is about timing. I 💖⏱ ! Timers make SPACE for all the things, ensure EQUITABLE PARTICIPATION, & REDUCE COGNITIVE LOAD for everyone. www.refinedlearningdesign.com/learn/timing...

This interview was so energizing and enlightening, and I'm still thinking about the distinction between skills and strategies vs outcomes. I can't wait to learn more at this summer's LFTX conference! #LFTXLearns #EduSky #ProfessionalLearning

I believe this advice is so true when designing #ProfessionalLearning, too! @elektronikav.bsky.social & I talk about this all the time. Less is more! #EduSky #CoffeeEDU

Such an impt pt: We need to equip people with "practices (skills, knowledge, attitudes, habits of mind) that allow them to exert agency over technology." This aligns with John's comment on the pod that adults who use genAI well already have critical thinking along w relevant knowledge.

I've now listened to this episode of @pjvogt.bsky.social's Search Engine on which I appear and I cannot recommend it enough, not because of me, but because it frames the challenge of ChatGPT in schools and student writing better than anything I've seen or heard. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Ugh! Bitly will begin showing a preview page prior to directing users to the destination URL—and that preview page may include advertising. "You can remove the preview page experience from your links and QR Codes at any time by selecting a paid Bitly plan." #EduSky #TLSky #EdTech

I built a free URL shortener for teachers bc we don't need ads when we're just trying to help each other out Edushare.ing No redirecting to ads, no stealing your traffic, no registration or log-in, no charge I hope you find it useful. Please share with teachers freely #TeachersHelpingTeachers

We 💗 our #CoffeeEDU community! We meet 1-hour each month to learn, share, & grow together. Saturday is a virtual meetup - want to join us? #EduSky 📆 Sat., 2/15, 11-12 CST 📍 RSVP for the Zoom link bit.ly/2BBKV4G @educroupe.bsky.social @u2woods.bsky.social @elektronikav.bsky.social

🎉 I'm looking forward to being part of this learning community with Ness Labs and @neuranne.bsky.social! The organization of the online space is already 💯 and I love seeing examples of "naming as priming." Isn't "Curiosity Collective" inviting? #EduSky 👀 @mslkile.bsky.social @u2woods.bsky.social

I enjoy the posts from #TCEA, & I especially love @elektronikav.bsky.social's text to me that some of her sessions have been "affirming," which counts as learning! 🤩 Even if you don't get something brand new from a session, it's great to have those reminders about what you're doing well. 🙌 #EduSky

This short podcast is a regular part of my Monday morning ritual. 🥰 I keep thinking about this episode from a couple of weeks ago about elevating my gratitude practice, and I now love finding opportunities to level up! Thanks @suzannedailey.bsky.social for all you do for educators! #EduSky

Starting my morning with GEG-NORTX @educroupe.bsky.social Good to meet you, Monica Napier #TCEA2025 #TCEA #TCEA25

Stop by this morning and chat with @educroupe.bsky.social and @mrzmnapier.bsky.social! #TCEA #GEGNORTX

📚 I love thinking about different ways to create "book-ish" events for #ProfessionalLearning! I get to share some of the ideas in this month's @learntexas.bsky.social blog. #LFTXLearns How have you reimagined book studies? #EduSky #TCEA

Here are a few things I learned/want to investigate from today at #TCEA2025 #TCEA made w/Adobe Express! #AdobeEduCreative

I'm enjoying #TCEA from afar, but I still want to share about our #GEGNORTX informal meetup! Stop by and chat with @educroupe.bsky.social and @mrzmnapier.bsky.social to share your favorite Google goodies from the conference. #EduSky 📆 Monday, Feb. 3, 9:30 AM 📍 Solar Atrium by registration

I had so much fun creating this quiz to discover your #ProfessionalLearning "Super Powers!" AI helped with the formulas, and I used Google Forms + FormMule to make it all work. This post shares my steps! #EduSky #AIinEducation #TCEA #EdTech

Hey hey NTX TCEA 2025 attendees! #TCEA2025 #TCEA Monday meetup! #GEGNORTX

At #TCEA - I love the educators who attend this conference and the energy they bring. You make my heart happy. 🥰 #edtechnerds #mindfulnessnerds #edusky #youmatter

🤩 Just learned about Canva's AI Sort feature in an @educatoralexander.bsky.social webinar w/ @micheleklein.bsky.social. #EduSky I've created many affinity maps in #ProfessionalLearning sessions & this Sort feature will allow me to quickly start the grouping process. ✅ 👀 @learntexas.bsky.social

📚 What are options for different types of book-ish #ProfessionalLearning experiences? #EDUSky - book tastings (pick from a variety of books) - "reverse" book club (bring a book about a topic, rather than all read same) - asynchronous book clubs (via voxer or chats) - podcast/article about a topic

🤔 I've used the reflection prompt of "Stop, Start, Continue," and I think "Stop, Start, Do More of" is terrific for a feedback process, too. It's simple, makes feedback more concrete, & can help build a culture of coaching. Have you tried this? #EduSky #EduCoach www.oyf.com/coolstuff/st...

It's a fantastic morning when we get together for #CoffeeEDU! I 💗 this community of education leaders! #EduSky A few things shared: 📚 books, note-taking, Storygraph 🤖 notebookLM ideas 🫶 ideas for gathering well! We're meeting again virtually on Feb. 15. 🌟 Join here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

What a fabulous way to begin the break! Our DFW #CoffeeEDU community is a fabulous group of #EDUFriends, and even when we're on vacay, we're still sharing ideas and learning together. 🥰 📙 Today's favorite book recommendation: The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper!

🎁 One of my favorite connection questions during #LearnFwd24 is "What gift do you bring to your colleagues?" It's such a subtle way to reflect and share strengths, and it provides a different insight for old and new #EDUFriends. #LFAcademy25 #LFTXLearns 🤔 What's your gift? #EDUSky

I had a terrific day presenting at #LearnFwd24, and the Idea Exchange format seemed to engage this group of educators! #LFAcademy25 #LFTXLearns 🌄 Bonus: before the session, I opened the doors to see mountains! 💜 Bonus: the purple LF shirts matched my Slides!

Delighted to see this reference to Teach Happier and @suzannedailey.bsky.social in this #LearnFwd24 session, Creating a Culture of Care. 🤩
