Itβs a marvelous Monday!
Iβm sporting my #NCTIES25 t-shirt for good vibes after having such an awesome time last week sharing #edtech tips, tools and ideas at @ncties.

The image shows a workshop with three individuals around a table, engaging in a collaborative activity called Solve in Time!
Ken Shelton speaking to group members as they engage in Solve in Time!
Powerful dialogue, deep problem solving, and unmatched creativity all on full display in less than 1 hour. That is Solve in Time! #NCTIES25 #designthinking #edusky
A wildly successful advanced session for @microbit_edu non-beginners at #ncties25 Participants interpreted microbit data w/drawings, predicted code w/ code block notes & collected & retrieved data. #EduSky
Great to finally meet IRL Matt Miller from @ditchthattextbook.com . Enjoying a workshop on AI at #ncties25
Leveraging leaders to create a maker culture. Recording benefits of making on cups (bc paper is too average) & "arranging" the reasons (no rules). Some benefits build a foundation for learning. Or maybe they make a well rounded student. Great collaborating! #ncties25 #EduSky

Such an honor and a joy presenting at #ncties #ncties25 as always! Until next year, laisse les bons temps rouler! #letthegoodtiesroll

I've been all about ChatGPT from the beginning, but after watching opening keynote at #NCTIES25 with Amanda Bickerstaff from AI for Education, I'm excited to dive into creating interactive games and simulations using Claude! #AIinEDU #edtech
Kicking off NCTIES discussing AI with Amanda Bickerstaff teaching literacy and what is possible. Like a rubric with 9th grade slang! π
We have to use AI to support our students. Great examples of how we can be successful and get started today.
#NCTIES25
Today, I have two sessions at #NCTIES25; I hope my #edtech friends will join me for one or both. I'll be sharing about podcasting in the classroom and using AR/VR to engage learners.
