"The work students ask a _____ to do is different from the work chatGPT does" remains true as AI use discourages reading, research, & thinking skills in ways Google search does not. This list gets at some of what students avoid but need extensive practice with to build skills: /2

I am breaking my mold and exploring new opportunities, and this is a first for me-for sure. This year I won't be presenting at ISTE, but I will still be able to contribute to the community by being a reviewer. This is something I am really looking forward to.

Some thoughts on learning practices we all engage in…

Copying notes ≠ Learning

If your students don’t understand, more practice is not going to help.
Practice with no understanding = misconceptions

This year I travel to school each day without my kids as companions. I miss our daily conversations and banter. So I have been gifted a cute car companion. It's not the same, but I appreciate the gesture .

Learning is messy.

It does not happen confined neat rows or checked boxes.

We really have to stop projecting our own negative experiences onto new teachers. I'm pretty sure I've been guilty of this at times but it's incredibly counterproductive and harmful. They need support from veterans, not hopelessness. #EduSky

This presentation came from a place close to my heart.
I am excited to share with teachers the insight that has come from the fact I have been a teacher longer than I have not been a teacher. Wow. Apparently, I am that old.

Who's going to ISTE or CAMT this summer?

I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to present at both. If you are going, I would love to see you.

Every EdTech tool out there promises to make a difference. And there are so many out there.
When it comes to classroom technology, EdTech solutions can only be a solution if they address a real need that conventional methods fail, and users know how to use it.

It's hard to stand in front of students and try out new technology or implement new instructional strategies.
Technology should not require advanced knowledge to get started, and it should also grow skills organically with usage.

Maybe it is less about tools saving teachers time and more about taking less time to learn relevant practices and tools.

Ask any teacher what they want from PD. Most start with: Will it help students?

Yes, they want to save time, but helping students comes 1st.
