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
One of the principles of the #AIOptimism Framework is prompting. For creating activities with Canva Code, I encourage educators to first imagine what they'd like to create, then write a descriptive prompt to match. In this example, I show 3 steps to write a great prompt and model my results. #EduSky

How am I just now seeing this? AI Literacy: A Framework to Understand, Evaluate, and Use Emerging Technology was published in June 2024. I really recommend the sections on Core Values, the Ethics Matrix, and the student use trajectory. A great resource! Link > files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED6...

Checking in at the hotel here in Austin, the staff member confirmed my email for the receipt without saying the whole thing aloud for the entire lobby to hear. I complimented her and she said “just protecting your privacy.” Nicely done! #DigCit

I set my Lyft account to automatically round up and donate to my local YMCA. Today it is costing me ONE PENNY. But can you imagine what would happen if everyone on Lyft did this?! If you think it takes a village, be a villager. 👏🏽

With 15 flights in the next 6 weeks, winter weather, and government chaos, I finally installed the Flighty app. I’ve seen it highly recommended by so many other travelers and I am already impressed with the notifications!

I'm setting a personal goal to finally set aside time to explore Affinity before the end of the year. I'm familiar with Adobe Photoshop (a fun fact: I taught digital photography as an elective!) and use Lightroom daily. It will be great to learn a new tool and see how the two compare. #EduSky

I'm honored to have been invited to keynote the "AI in a Day" event at the University of Texas at Austin this week. I'll be speaking about The Power of Partnerships in higher education to a combined audience of staff and faculty, as well as spreading some #AIOptimism along the way. #HED #AIEducation

When you’re a teacher so writing the months of the year out in order automatically starts with September.

Normally I’d be pointing people to webinars by @phygitallabs.com… but this recent one from Canva is worth sharing. This hits the #AIOptimism Framework in four of the six categories! #EduSky #EduSkyAI #Canva

Eeek! Can't wait for the @canva keynote tomorrow, and the #Seattle world tour stop next week. Anyone else going to the Seattle event?

As #Windows10 sunsets, I thought it would be fun to resurrect a video from a series I did for education with my friend Brett... ah, the memories! #MicrosoftEdu

Thank you, Laurie Kirkland, for sharing your thoughts about AI Optimism. Your role at the AVID Center over the past decade has had a profound impact on students everywhere, and I hope my message can have the same impact someday, too. #AIOptimism #AIEdu

Many of you know me as a Microsoft fan, but I want to be able to support every teacher in every school who asks me to visit, regardless of their selected platform. And I find value in understanding the different feature sets available in various tools. I completed several new certs today! #EduSky

I was recently gifted this new book for educators and system leaders called AI Express. What impressed me the most is that the book is written by two educators who actually did this work for two years before creating a resource-packed guidebook about it.

I've really been enjoying Grammarly! It pops up everywhere I am in a web browser, offering helpful tips and revisions. Sometimes I accept them, and sometimes I don't - that's up to my human judgment. #AI #ELA
