I'm thrilled to announce my new book, AI Optimism, released today! This guide to redefining education with artificial intelligence introduces my new framework and is grounded in best practices. View on Amazon: amzn.to/3FOPxWf #AIOptimism #AI #AIEdu #EduSkyAI #EduSky
A huge thank you to everyone who nominated #AIOptimism to appear in today’s article on Forbes: “8 AI Books Published in 2025 That Every Educator Needs on Their Shelf,” curated by Dan Fitzpatrick. #AI #EduSky

It was great to get the news last week that I'll be presenting at #ISTELive again in 2026. I'll be there representing @phygitallabs.com, and I'm looking forward to another trip to Orlando. (But first, #FETC!)

My daughter let me know that my books are on Goodreads and I don’t know how I’d missed that! It was so fun to have her stumble upon this glowing review of #AIOptimism from Brian, who read it right after its release in June.

After having a great conversation about my book and framework with Crystal at #TETC earlier this month, I asked her to send me a few thoughts about #AIOptimism. She plans intentional professional learning for the teachers she supports, using this and other models. I'm proud to have her support!

It was a pleasure to chat with Andrew from The Good Life EDU podcast a few weeks ago. We had a conversation around #AIOptimism and the AI Optimism Framework.

I spent some time in Southern California this week, filming my fourth course for LinkedIn Learning! It's always a pleasure to work with the LinkedIn team. This time, we used a brand new course format that I'm excited to see published. I'll be sharing links to this new course when it goes live.

Ever notice how the more expertise you have, the more you see where AI falls short while a novice often sees pure magic? In my newest blog post, “The Expertise Paradox,” I unpack why this gap exists and what it means for teaching, learning, and using AI with purpose. #EduSky

From the pages of #AIOptimism - another reminder that innovation is a mindset, not a tech tool! Learn more about this framework and how it can help shift us from focus on tools to focus on pedagogy. Grab a copy, invite me to a book study, or ask me to speak. We can be AI Optimists together! #EduSky

What a privilege to spend a day with NBCTs from around Arizona discussing #AIOptimism and how to implement artificial intelligence in their classrooms, focusing on praxis, privacy, and prompting. It was an absolute joy to teach, support, laugh, and learn together. #EduSky
