Each time I share the personalities of AI and give the survey, these are the results. In general, this means that your department or work group likely brings a variety of perspectives. Listen, validate, and learn from one another. We can all be AI Optimists while honoring our lenses.

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...

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.

I love being able to skip to a topic to review content from a recorded Teams call. Check out all those talking points from yesterday's #PhygitalLearning webinar!

New blog post is out! "Building Community "67" Ways - a reflection on building unity in our classrooms around joyful, inclusive, and potentially meaningless unifiers.

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

I'm excited to be included as a panelist at the upcoming Seattle Games and Education Industry Collider! Come join us as we hear from Portal 2 lead designer Kim Swift and explore the expo hall to experience games together. @PhygitalLabs will have a table too! #EduSky #GBL

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

It's Halloween week, and I'm hosting an edtech version of Trick or Treat. Reply to this post with your favorite edtech trick, and why it's a treat for you!

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

I thought I would start sharing a few snippets directly from the pages of #AIOptimism. (And since I'm the author, I don't have to depend on a photo of the book!) Here's a quick quote from a section on using AI to analyze readiness data and make informed decisions for staff development.

I'm looking forward to bringing #AIOptimism to #TechFest2025 next week! This local event in Washington is FREE for anyone working in a school system, and includes breakfast, lunch, and speakers from around the Puget Sound region. See you on October 30 in Tulalip!

Notes in my inbox are the best! Sometimes people apologize for the DM - why would any author ever mind a compliment in a personal message?! Huge thanks to the people who take two minutes out of their day to brighten someone else's. This #AIOptimism comment makes me smile!
