South Portland HS is connected with Senegal again! Game Design students created English teaching games that were professionally produced & mailed to students in Louga. We even made a tutorial video (with Wolof explanation from our SRO!). #Fullbright www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwuK...

Love seeing students speak to local, state, and national organizations. This year we had students talking to other teachers in Maine about #aiintheclassroom. I couldn't be prouder of their presence! #sphs #sphscshs #cshs #aiintheclassroom #studentvoice #studentleaders

From being inspired by R2-D2 at age 10 to creating the world's first social robot — Dr. Breazeal is now on a mission to bring AI literacy to EVERY student & teacher. 170+ countries. 20,000 teachers. 1 million students. soundcloud.com/user-4914137... #AI #EdTech #AILiteracy #OneVoiceinCS

NASA visiting SPHS! So lucky to have two doctors from NASA visit our SPHS CSHS! What great guest speakers!! #cshs #nasa #guestspeakers #sphs

15 year old chromebook that's broken? No problem! Today my student figured out how to use a control board and created a new portable monitor. Next: designing and 3d printing a solution for a base. Go SPHS CSHS! #cshs #ewastereduction @CultureOfRepair #makered #repaired

We're developing games for the teacher I met in Senegal to help learn English. Excited to see the three chosen to get published! Here's in progress work. #gamedesign #fullbright #intercultural #education #beyondtheclassroom

What if AI isn't the enemy of learning to code but one of the best tools we can give students? Dr. Beth Simon & Dr. Kate Lockwood talk about a new CSTA course charting a practical middle path: free tools, simple frameworks, stronger thinkers. #onevoiceincs #csta soundcloud.com/user-4914137...

Logan finished our CSHS video for community week and it is perfect! #CSHS Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5ti... #spsdme #celebratestudents #communitywork

New: From tinkering on an Omega computer in rural NC to building K-12 data literacy for every student. Mahmoud Harding's take on AI? It's like giving a chef better pans: elevates expertise, doesn't replace it. soundcloud.com/user-4914137... #onevoiceincs #csta

As I study how AI impacts coding, I've developed another teacher tool. A free way to set up and organize groups with student input on roles. NO student data collected! Easy to use! If you use groups in your classes- here: groupupclass.lovable.app #teacherapp #aiinedu

Love when 3D prints help the school! Designed and in use for the custodians. A cap for the pipe to hold the net in place: replacing the need for zip ties getting trashed every swap. #reduse #3dprinting #3dprintsforgood #spsdme #engineeringdesigns

Students from the CSHS will be presenting in a panel about AI Successes, Failures & Tips at Frost Forward Online Technology Conference! Open to anyone. Here's the registration link: forms.gle/RrNudktkwgaFfCj39 #studentpresentions #spsdme #cstamaine #cshs

Students learning how to use drones for video footage. What a skill to practice in HS! #videoproductions #spsdme #bestjobever

I love seeing video productions students learning how to form crews, use equipment, and get amazing videos done! #videoproductions #spsdme #sphs

I am learning about AI coding. The limitations, what it means for teaching coding, and benefits. I've been tinkering and created an app for myself to use. What if anyone could create apps they wanted more easily? #whatif #codingwithai teacher-translator.lovable.app

Love to see what students create- here's the first logo / laser project of this semester! We have laser users at SPHS! #laser #makered #designthinking #spsdme #studentart

The favorite part of my job is watching students create. We started with 3D printing in Digital Graphics- and here are some photos of finished work! #3dprinting #3dart #everyoneprints

I remain excited and optimistic about how AI can be used as a tool and assistant to creativity and development. www.edweek.org/technology/a... #aiintheclassroom #AIforedu #cstamaine

Tried a new way to introduce storyboarding- had students form groups and try to ID famous storyboards. It was fun to watch and a great intro to an important step in production. (Also: nothing better than a student labeling Sound of Music Apocalypse Now. Guess they both have war? ;) )

I’m in Louga Senegal learning tips to help make learning easier for all students with text. I just learned something about word and formatting - how to add numbers to lines, LIKE WE DO FOR CODE! LIFE IS AWESOME. We learn everywhere!! Just wanted to share!

I created a short Fulbright video explaining why people apply, the process, and the excitement from the Senegal cohort I'm in. When I finish my placement, I'll get another video to share of tips and most memorable moments. #FulbrightTeacher #TeachGlobally www.youtube.com/watch?v=B25z...
