To provide a new perspective on how we might introduce AI to our secondary students, my long-time co-author and colleague, @teachkht.bsky.social and I released Teaching Writing in the Age of AI: Strategies for Teachers of Secondary Students (Solution Tree). hickstro.org/2025/10/26/h...

It’s our season of lasts twinlifehavingitall.blogspot.com

Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions. Authors, search your name here: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Sharing my identities at a local high school career day!

I would have loved to be in the story boarding/music mashup room to see this develop. Some crazy talented people created this!

Whether he meant to send love from his heart or a message to neo-nazis is less important than how the audience perceives it. Many see it as the #2, emboldened by pardons of those who publicly shared neo-nazi intent. This is the conversation. What do we do about the disconnect and potential violence?

Haven’t read it but recommend you buy it #bebrave a.co/d/aEdGiVk

My daughter inspires me everyday. She writes, creates, and puts herself out there. Check out her new album open.spotify.com/album/5u108Q...

Grateful for collaboration with @teachkht.bsky.social and colleagues on "The Importance of Digital Media Literacy," openly available in: Christakis, D.A., Hale, L. (eds) Handbook of Children and Screens. Springer, Cham. doi.org/10.1007/978-... #digitalliteracy #medialiteracy #teaching

This year’s donated books tree. Can’t wait to get them into readers’ hands!

Listened to @podsaveamerica.bsky.social about media covering Trump 2.0 on my way to #LRA24 where I joined other researches thinking about #literacies and was struck by the thought that our current information ecosystem started with Web 2.0 and the ability for anyone to create unvetted content

One thing I love about @bsky.app is that my feed isn’t filled with questions and theories about the drones that have infiltrated our area. You all talk smart things in my curated feed 😀

Today’s thought: if you are called to give to others but it’s breaking you, what are you called to do, exactly?

Pondering #AIinEDU as I finish up a chapter about how education is just too slow to change. Is this the tech that will transform pedagogy?

In a world where we are systematically taught to hate and envy, we should sit in gratitude for the people who have the courage to love: to love themselves, to love us, to love our joy, to love the human right to love. If you are one of those loving people, then I’m sitting in gratitude for you.

This hit me in the gut. @colsonwhitehead.com

Question of the day: Should businesses and their needs guide the development of new kinds of programs in higher ed? #edusky

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

Question of the day: Why are academics so resistant to interdisciplinary education? #edusky

A study in the exhibitor hall, 24 hours at a time. #ncte24

Are there rules of discourse in social media spaces? @rbmann.bsky.social sharing ideas on civil discourse #ncte24

Kicking to morning off thinking about misinformation with Jeff Wilhelm, Michael Smith, and Deb Appleman. Tip of the day, because we all are susceptible… If you are triggered or get emotional, SLOW DOWN, and read a little more critically. #ncte24

NWP celebrates 50 years with a fun announcement! Join us in 102A #ncte24

How is your heart? The great Gholdy Muhammad kicking off our session on the pursuits in Teacher Ed #ncte24

“Are we going to be ruined by our greed or saved by our ingenuity?” Kate McKinnon #ncte24

Creating a character starts with a voice. And then the hair. -Kate McKinnon #ncte24

End of line entered the hall at 8:29ish #ncte24

And again people waiting in line well before the start time are getting inside after the speaker started. Logistics #ncte24

Trying this again #ncte24. The line is moving but last night it took way more than 5 minutes to make it inside from here

Mine is the first generation to reap the rewards of the cashed check referenced by MLK. Justice Jackson articulated this idea in her conversation today. There’s a lot the my generation has taken for granted #ncte24

The end of the line came through the door at 4:38. Not great logistics #ncte24

Finally made it inside after over a half hour wait in line to see Kentanji Brown Jackson at #ncte24

Listening to @aschoenborn.bsky.social tell the story of his seventh graders trying to beat the evil AI and learning how to have conversations about writing #ncte24

This is what it looks like when English teachers take over the lobby bar. Just wait till you see the coffee lines… #ncte24

ELATE starter pack exists. Let me know who should be added!

About to head on my annual work vacation. Five days packed with no time to rest. Five presentations. Several publisher meetings. Multiple collaborator and committee meetings. And somehow, I’ll be re-energized. It’s all the things I love about my job packed into one, extended weekend. #ncte24

NWP Starter Pack is available. Let me know who else to add! go.bsky.app/Sxgv8cp

Any NWP folx here? I am creating a starter pack to share at our meeting this week so let me know if I should include you!

It’s refreshing to build a curated social media feed. The first time around, I joined without knowing anything about it. Fifteen years later, I start with a blank slate.
