For those of us that love our Bitmojis, the Bitmoji extension is no longer supported and has been removed from Chrome. I joined others in emailing Snapchat and asking them to update the app but I don't hold out much hope. #byeBitmoji #EduSky

Super excited to be working with Kansas Infinitec to deliver an AI workshop specific to special education! #EduSky #Sped #AI4Ed

Very proud to have been part of the team to write this article for Tech&Learning: www.techlearning.com/news/the-ups... #EduSky #specialed #sped #AI4Ed #TechTitans804

#IDEACon - PD Playlist with @stefaniepitzer.bsky.social was AMAZING! bit.ly/IDEAplaylist25

#IDEACon25 is starting off with Apple Intelligence. Very exciting updates coming to edu! #learningisgrowing #TechTitans804

Doc Tabs are AMAZING! I love the fact that you can use emojis and/or text to name the tabs. Alice has 5 great ideas for using Doc Tabs #TechTitans804

2 weeks until #IDEACon25! Working on my Google tips and tricks session. Does anyone have tips/tricks to share? Always looking for new things to add to the preso. #IDEACon #GoogleEdu #GoogleChampions #TechTitans804

Love that in slideshow mode I can turn on a pen to annotate using Shift+L #EduSky #GoogleEDU #TechTitans804

Is anyone using Lucidspark as their Jamboard replacement? I know about Figjam but we can't use it due to legal issues. #EduSky #GoogleEDU

One of the best conferences! I never miss it! #EduSKy #IDEAil

Super excited to get accepted to present again at ISTE+ASCD 25! #EduSky #ISTE25

We ❤️ Wixie! They are so good at listening to what educators want and need. #WixieRocks

I keep responding after the fact, but I love to see the questions and answers each week. There is some good conversation happening! #EduSkyAI

Best 7 minutes of my morning. Your welcome #EduSky! What a legacy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Ol...

This is a conference not to be missed! #IDEAcon #EduSky

A4: We have to remember that Gen AI is in its infancy stage and will just keep innovating and changing. AI itself is already deeply ingrained into everything we do, we just don't always notice it. I think it will be common place just like google search is now. Think about that. #EduSkyAI

A3: We have a partnership with @magicschoolai.bsky.social and our dipping out toes into student use with this tool. I have also used @schoolai.com to create spaces to share with students. One of our therapists created a "safe" space for a student to talk about hygiene.

A2: They are not easily impressed and they are certainly not scared of trying it! They also pay no attention to data privacy concerns...sigh. #EduSkyAI

Missed the #EduSkyAI Chat last night so my next few posts will be answering those questions. A1: Our students may be using it outside of school, but currently our staff are the ones using the gen AI tools. We are a sped district so this may account for some of the situation.

If you want to know about ed tech follow this man! @ericcurts.bsky.social shares incredible resources ALL of the time! When something new enters our arena, I go to his website and almost always he already has created a resource! Thanks Eric! #EduSky #sharingiscaring #learningisgrowing #TechTitans804

I am just starting to figure out the power of Google NotebookLM! I didn't get it but now I do!! Working on a BlueSky Notebook to share. Please share any BlueSky resources you have created and willing to share. #EduSkyAI #EduSky #GoogleChampions #TechTitans804

Yes please! Sometimes the simplest accommodation can make a world of difference for an "average" student not just an "inclusive" student...after all they are all students! #EduSky #TechTitans804 #InclusiveEd

Have you registered yet?!? #EduSky

Such an incredible movie! Even my hubby liked it (not an educator) #InclusiveEduSky #EduSky

I absolutely love coming to BlueSky and seeing only education posts!! If you have followed me please be sure your profile shows that you are an educator then I will follow you back. #EduSky

#EduSkyAI A4- Inherent bias in AI that is very prevalent and we need to watch for these and report the issues. Almost every tool I have seen has the ability to report thumbs up or down on results. When I ask for a female astronaut and get a sexy curvy lady with a lowcut "spacesuit" I report it. Bias

#EduSkyAI A3-AI can help you to create very personalized tools in seconds. Put the lesson in then ask it to make the lesson relevant to different kids, cultures, strengths, levels. The potential is limitless, but you always have to watch for the hurdles: bias, hallucinations and outright mistakes.

#EduSkyAI A2-AI can be your thought partner or brainstorming place. AI can give you ideas beyond your initial thoughts. Admin tells you, you will now teach this. Pop that topic into AI and ask for ideas, ask how to create UDL lessons, ask for different levels and so much more! Game changer!

#EduSkyAI A1 - What excites me most is teaching people to leverage AI to level the playing field for people with disabilities. Whether the users are disabled themselves or in our case the educators supporting people with disabilities.

@eduguardian5.bsky.social Posting instead of the "other". My name is Digital Dynamo. This is my sidekick Spark. She is a pixie who loves to help fix tech issues. Our mission is to help our district and beyond learn to use AI safely and responsibly. Thanks for including me in your amazing crew!
