“My knowledge is only as wide as the bus window.” Powerful quote from one of Michael Hernandez’ students. @cinehead.bsky.social #vste24 #EduSky

“Anyone still have their BlackBerry? This is what happens when you double down on old technology.” TRUE! Everything has a shelf life, especially if you refuse to adapt and change. “When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck.” @cinehead.bsky.social #vste24 #EduSky

Did you know that some textbooks are edited BY STATE for information they include/leave out? Powerful insight by @cinehead.bsky.social especially about Amendment II and Texas textbooks as well as historical figures/biographies. #vste24 #EduSky

Love learning from @cinehead.bsky.social and his experiences working with deaf students, especially their achievements and how it related to perceived biases. #vste24 #EduSky

Always feels like a family reunion at #vste24! Happy to reconnect with @jilliande.bsky.social and @katiefielding.com in the Exhibits Hall (Booths 521 and 513 if you want to visit, too!) 🌟

so great to see so many #VaEducators moving into @bsky.app tonight is #EduSkychat at 9 pm #vste24

“We have to ask the important question.” Hard. Stop. 🛑 “Don’t aim to check bias in the output. Look to check the bias that exists here.” Powerful reminders from @deelanier.bsky.social at #vste24 #Edusky

Bing? Bard? Claude? Copilot? Gemini? Claude. 😂 Oh my goodness, @deelanier.bsky.social, you made me laugh SO hard with this analogy of AI platforms. Love the walk up songs, too! 🌟 #vste24

“Is AI a person? This is where the policies get murky…” Thought provoking questions by @deelanier.bsky.social at #vste24 #EduSky

I'm incredibly grateful to have published not one but two books this year alongside my brother @kshelton.bsky.social. A special thanks to all of you who have supported our work! #GenerativeAI #AIEthics #AIEquity #education #innovation #books #authors #gratitude

So excited to hear @deelanier.bsky.social share about AI and ethical use at #vste24! 🌟 #EduSky #AI

My 15-year-old son just rediscovered the LOST series, which we are binge watching this weekend. In one of the earlier episodes, Locke says, “Struggle is life’s way of strengthening it.” What a powerful quote! #EduSky

In Canva, I clicked on the "Dream Lab" option in the left toolbar. Described what I was trying to make and several design options were created automatically. Click on the options below the prompt to make it square or a certain style.

See what Bluesky lists you're on by going to ClearSky.app and entering your handle.  I was surprised to discover I'm on 75 different lists. 😲 #EduSky

Your impact often happens in small moments you might not even notice. Keep showing up.
