Attending my first @ted-cec.bsky.social conference. While I usually find conference networking difficult, connecting with the Neurodivergent Educators and Researchers w/Disabilities SIG made it much easier to chat authentically & share my work. Yay for neurodiversity-affirming spaces & colleagues!
Two women in business casual dress stand in front of a large projection screen showing a title slide that reads “Strengthening knowledge of AI: Experiences from one teacher education course.”
