Kindergarten is epic.
You are a superhero to them just because you showed up.
Hard to top that feeling. ❤️

There are so many tech leaders who may have experience with DIGITAL literacy but not MEDIA literacy!
AI LITERACY requires BOTH.
I would love to see more librarians helping lead AI framework crafting & adoptions. They have so much to offer & are so important to the conversation.

If one is speaking on Gen AI.... one should really have an understanding of media literacy...

Thinking routines like Connect, Extend, Challenge are already useful. But technology provides students additional ways to share their thinking, and even allows them to read and react to their peers' perspectives. 🤝

@tannenbaumtech.bsky.social explains how.

Using Tech Tools to Amplify Classroom Thinking Routines
Integrating digital tools empowers students with choice, while making thinking increasingly visible and collaborative—creating a more accessible and dynamic classroom culture.

“We need our kids to be problem-solvers and critical thinkers; we need them to be able to empathize and understand and come to conclusions on their own,” says principal Raegon Clutz.

Here’s how he helps his school community make tech decisions that best achieve that goal. 🌟
