There is a VAST difference between #AI access in independent schools & public schools which is only widening the equity gap! That doesn’t even factor in the fact that so many voices & cultures are missing from training data! via @heidisiwak.bsky.social @ecooorg.bsky.social #Edusky #dreamforward

“We need to rebuild the trust between teachers and students which has broken as a result of #AI —grade 9s
@heidisiwak.bsky.social says, start with IDENTITY as humans & the choices we make around AI @ecooorg.bsky.social #dreamforward #EduSky

@amansahota.bsky.social gets the panel started at #DreamForward. Look at these educators giving up their Saturday for PD! #onted @calarmstrong.bsky.social @heidisiwak.bsky.social @tk1ng.bsky.social

There is a panic by teachers, students, and families about the impact #AI will have which doesn’t align with an agenda by #edtech which is promoting AI #Edusky #dreamforward @ecooorg.bsky.social

Funding needs to be going to teacher learning first-meaningful PD which will help educators make effective #criticalthinking choices about #AI use in #EDU? #dreamforward via heidisiwak.bsky.social

Kids need to understand that #AI is based on vectors and thus we need to help kids understand how knowledge is interpreted by #AI #EduSky #Math #dreamforward

Debunking Myths About Graphic Novels and Comics to Unlock Learning | KQED 3 educators weighed in on how graphic novels and comics can boost reading skills and enhance critical thinking.

One way to teach visual literacy is to have students read graphic novels, which are a much-maligned genre of books that actually include examples of every genre known in "regular" books, from nonfiction to poetry to fiction

Fair! Thanks for clarifying.

True. Wonder if Threads is any different.

Good point about the exhaustion-although I always felt invigorated at conferences (before the exhaustion set in) lol

I always used to share my learning and thinking during conferences using a conference hashtag. Is this what newer teachers are doing I wonder or has this gone by the wayside? #EduSky
