Hi! I’m Tia. I’m a 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦 mother (this is a new title!), teacher, & educator living in 🇨🇳. I’m all about #DEI, #STEAM, the #SDGs & #inquiry. I also like to write. I’m here to build my #PLN again, as it was decimated by the old site we all used. Pls connect w me & let’s rebuild something amazing.
Agreed! After reading #BoyMom by Ruth Whippman, I realized that boys really need this support. Their role models, stories, & expectations are all tied to strength or saving the day when girls’ are tied to interpersonal relationships. They need stories & examples of healthy emotional relationships.

A4: the Choose Your Own Adventure story was difficult with #AI, but I was able to make such a great experience for my kids. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without it. I’ve now done two different stories and the kids ❤️ them. #CYOA #EduSkyAi

A3: I’m concerned about (1) bias, specifically around representation of voice & diverse experience (& white washing). I don’t know how to fix/notice/know when it’s happening (2)Respresentation in images generated, as I always have to be direct in representation across the spectrum. #EduSkyAi #DEI
Q3: What challenges or ethical considerations have you encountered when integrating AI into creative processes? #EduSkyAI

A2: I mostly use @schoolai.com with my students, as I find it to be the easiest way to get my 10 yos onto #AI. I like them to use it to interview people they’d never get to talk to #EduSkyAi
Q2: What are your favorite ways to leverage AI for student creativity? Share examples? #EduSkyAI

A1: A detective 🕵️, #inquiry based activity for a book to explore the mysteries in a dystopian novel. A 72-slide Choose Your Own adventure story complete with real life activities. Pictures to illustrate my own children’s book. #EduskyAI #writing

Resistence is NOT futile
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

There are so many classic, new, and amazing books that students can learn from that are imaginative, interesting, and inspiring. We don’t have to default and uplift books written by terrible people who work to eliminate human rights. #transrightsarehumanrights #transgender

Nurturing my #wellbeing is important to me. I feel like this priority is so often over looked. I’m more productive, happier, & more focused when I’ve taken time to #meditate, however I do that. Let’s see what painting this #birdhouse will do for it. (I’m no painter so we’ll see how this goes!)

#Engineering is my first love, and it led me to the #SDGs, which led me to #DEI. This #EarthDay is a return to that, designing solutions to help students understand #renewableenergy. This brings me life! #STEAM #edusky

#diversity #equity #inclusion research is improving pregnancy outcomes by educating physicians on patient centered care.

#DEI research is monitoring factory pollution to protect nearby residents from cancer causing waste.

DEI research is a public service.

Research and experts are clear: “It is just common sense that in order to have the best science, we need the broadest, most inclusive environment for scientists.”

Why teach students to think harder about the mistakes they make? They’ll be able to reflect and self-diagnose issues as they tackle challenges in the future. 🧠🩺

Getting kids to identify and classify the types of mistakes they make gives them the tools they need to drive their own learning.

In 2025, if you like an artists work online, share it.
I see AI generated art getting thousands of views, while hard-working creatives go unnoticed. Artists don't exist in a vacuum, creative people need the oxygen of support to find their audience. Find what you love, and shout about it. 👍❤️

#CYOA. Do you remember Choose Your Own Adventure books? I went wild and created a #dystopian world for students complete with real life tasks, resources to collect, and timers to beat. They loved it. #edusky #english #story #writing

#Inquiry learning at its best. A little messy, evidently collaborated, and opening up the possibilities. The difference between my kids’ questions term 3 vs term 1 is absolutely incredible. #edusky #icons #ib #inquiryprocess
