Work life balance for me means showing up for my kids and the things they love. I volunteer as the tech chair for Lake Houston Lacrosse and my friend runs team social events. We love watching the game grow in our community and in our kids.

We talk about AI for school all the time, but here’s a fun one. A lacrosse mom used AI to make our signs for our boys’ tournament. The Banana Dogs won Best Costume and made it to the finals. 🍌🐶🥍

Precus and I presented about AI to the OT/PT and Adapted PE teams back in October at the old Lakeland campus. It’s quiet now but still full of heart. Big thanks to Elizabeth Pinkley and her team for the work they do to support students every day.

My birthday was at the beginning of the month & my team went all out. I have never felt more like the K-pop princess I know I am. Grateful for teammates who are thoughtful, creative, and know how to make people feel celebrated. 💜✨

Spent a morning at Humble Middle supporting a session on scaffolding in Tier 1 instruction. Jess (pictured below!) & Jen led the session and absolutely crushed it. Proud to collaborate with PD and support campuses doing this work.

I had a great time working with these ladies representing Digital Learning, Special Education, and Secondary English, all supporting foundational courses for students with special needs.
Proud of this team and excited to see where this work leads. ✨

📚 Use MagicSchool’s Character Chatbot for students to “interview” story characters during #NationalBookMonth. They can explore motivation, theme, and voice, like asking Alice why she followed the rabbit! 🐇 🔗 buff.ly/YAd6qHr

Attended the Tech & Learning Leadership Summit, and it was such a good experience.
We got to pick our areas of interest ahead of time, which made the small-group talks feel personal and practical. I learned a ton from the colleagues I met there. 🙌

Still feeling inspired after our AI Summit! 💡 Teachers spent the day exploring how AI can save time, spark ideas, and make teaching just a little easier.
“My fear level has gone way down.”
“It was life-changing!”
Here’s to fearless experimentation and classrooms full of creativity. 🙌

Been exploring MagicSchool and today built a Student Room that generates math story problems about “Italian Brain Rot,” and every answer is 67. 😂
How much more differentiated would learning with AI be than a worksheet or quiz?
It's even TEKS-aligned! 💡 Gracias

💬✨ Teachers in a recent study with AI reported more positive emotions. If AI can take some of the stress out of planning and grading, does it leave more energy for what matters most, students? How would you want AI to act as your “teammate”?

📚🔍 In a recent study, AI helped participants create more balanced, cross-functional solutions. In schools, could AI help bridge the gap between subject areas, or even between teaching and admin work? Where would you want AI to lighten the load?

🤖✨ A new study found that one person with AI matched the performance of a full team without it. What could that mean for teacher collaboration and lesson planning? Does AI help us do more alone, or free us to do better together?
