So #Nearpod was one of the vendors at the #DLAC25 conference I attended last week. I was not shy with the rep in my criticism of the platforms’ accessibility flaws and what appeared to be their blatant indifference on the issue when I would bring it up for years. However….1/5
I was asked during a panel at #DLAC25 what I use AI for and what I don't. That's an important question for each of us to wrestle with and it's a personal one so I won't answer it here... Just kidding. Can you imagine me not having an opinion on something?!

If you use generative AI content you are deciding what degree of bias you are comfortable with.
I realize that everything we do and create contains bias, but when you have a machine do it for you, the decision is in your hands.
Look forward to my blog post on this after #DLAC25 ;)
So cool! I'm in Atlanta for #DLAC25 and ran into @victoriathetech.bsky.social -who is here for a different conference. Love how social media helps us make connections. Hope our paths cross again and maybe we'll collaborate sometime as EdTech leaders! #EdTech #InclusiveEd 🙌🏽

Tuesday: 3:00-4:15
Room L506/507
Thinking of the workshop I'm giving at 8AM for #DLAC25 and the issues of AI bias.
When you are dealing with strategies to mitigate the impact of implicit bias inherent in all AI tools, ask yourself: Where do I draw the line when it comes to being aware and inclusive?
