While expanding AI in K–12 is promising, #AILiteracy must be a priority. Without a strong foundation, we risk widening knowledge gaps and missing the opportunity to equip students for critical, ethical participation in #HigherEd and the future workforce.

Trying not to flood the airwaves, but quick reminder that I have a book coming out this summer that's available for pre-order.

It's about the main problems we face in the higher ed workplace and the changes we can pursue to better support staff & faculty wellbeing.

What would you add to this thread? #EduSky #AcademicSky #HigherEd #UDLsky
If you were to build a #UDL project menu, what you include? We’re looking at developing a menu of projects that students can choose from to demonstrate learning from any lesson or unit. The idea is that teachers don’t have to constantly dream up choices for every lesson. #EduSky #EduInFocus
