Recently, in PD, we offered an "AI Tasting Room" - Ts explored 8 free AI tools designed to support student-centered learning. Guided by the essential question, "How can AI enhance—not replace—student thinking in the classroom?", teachers collaborated, shared ideas, & experimented together. #EduSky

One of my favourite days at TCFL is our annual Read-a-Thon—a day when parents, students, and teachers bring blankets, pillows, and their favorite books to school. Everyone settles in, gets cozy, and a peaceful hush falls over the campus as we all share in the quiet joy of reading together. #EduSky

Spring break. Time to unwind with a crochet project 😊 @susankotch.bsky.social #EduSky

Thanks for sharing this, Kasey... just the right time of year!! #teachingexperiment

Storyboarding the preschool curriculum reveals what children will explore throughout the year & how each part connects to understanding their emotions & learning to express themselves. It’s a powerful way to make the curriculum visible, relevant & meaningful to Ts, Ss, & Ps. #EduSky

Kudos to our LA Ts for their collaborative work in storyboarding the curriculum! This inspiring narrative connects grades 7 - 12, centering on personal growth, reflection, & discovery. Our Ss have a clear & meaningful progression that deepens their thinking & their voices. #EduSky

I'm bothered by this AI action figure trend. Do people realize that using AI has a heavy environmental impact? Using AI to improve productivity is one thing, but this is sheer waste. #EduSky

Our LA team has been rewriting our curriculum using Heidi Hayes Jacob's storyboarding approach. Today, an LA teacher showed me how she's using storyboards for her lesson plans, saying “At a glance, you can see what my class is like. Lesson plans make so much more sense this way.” #EduSky

Time for me to get in the car & do my 4 hour commute back to the city. Lovely touching base with you again, Bonnie! #PLFchat

A2: A couple of my fave presenters are @trevormackenzie.bsky.social & @dfishersdsu.bsky.social I always learn so much from them. #PLFchat

A1: For teachers: I love the Tri-Association conference. It takes place in different S. Amer and Central Amer countries each year & has such diverse sessions. #PLFchat

A1 Fro students: Our whole school PBL project for Independence Day. It brings the entire school together for 6 weeks all working around 1 theme. #PLFchat

Good morning #PLFchat! I'm Carla, joining from Santo Domingo, DR

Thanks for the convo, #sunchat!

I worked in a school that grouped 3 grade levels together (4, 5 & 6) & it was amazing! It allowed me to give up the notion of what students "should" be able to do, & simply teach them where they were at. #sunchat

Good morning #sunchat friends! I'm Carla from Santo Domingo... where we have one more week till spring break!

#EduSky, hop on @deck.blue and join us for #sunchat at 9:00 EST today!

Good morning! Is the #leadlap chat gone for good? I hope not! #BlueSky

Thank you to Elizahenna Del Jesús, reporter at Plan Lea, Listing Diario for her coverage of TCFL's #EdSummit. We love the fact that you spent all day with us, sitting in various sessions to get a true feel for the event. #EduSky planlea.edu.do/2025/04/edsu...
