I sent a heartfelt email with virtual hugs, immeasurable respect, and this little poem to all of my teachers today. Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek! #WTPSedtech 💖
I am thoroughly enjoying being the district’s go-to #AiAficionado and sharing all kinds of Ai awesomeness! Today I taught (or answered Ai-question emails from) gobs of teachers, a secretary, two very clever administrators, and some promising pre-service teachers! #WTPSedtech
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying doing my favorite thing: teaching teachers! I’ve been taking my show on the road and doing a bit of an Ai Tour through the district. I thrive when I get to show them so many #Ai tools & timesavers ~ and then just let them play to learn!
I 💗 my teachers! #WTPSedtech
A wonderfully curious 1st grade teacher wanted to learn more uses for Ai, so she booked me for a second session today, and in 45 minutes I shared some new ideas for using ChatGPT, and then I introduced her to @magicschoolai and @DiffitApp! #WTPSedtech
My #edtech team has a new challenge to face, and it’s a daunting one. It will definitely require some out-of-the-box thinking. So, I stayed up last night to create a document and framework to help guide them - a springboard for solutions! #WTPSedtech #EdLeadership #ProjectManagement
My latest #LearningInTheLoo is posted in every elementary school faculty restroom today! 🚽 I’m featuring Vivi and the wondrous capabilities it can bring to our classrooms! SOOO exciting! 🤩
I also share a quick Google Fonts tip!
#WTPSedtech #edtech #ViviEducation
☎️ Lots of people know about the ChatGPT website & even the app, but did you know that you can also dial 1-800-ChatGPT to ask questions and (& have a lovely conversation) with an Ai bot? Listen to our video below! #WTPSedtech #Ai #techcoach #WomenInAi #EdLeadership
I’ve been making the rounds with my Ai Toolbox Workshop at all of our WTPS elementary schools and it’s so much fun! Today I had a blast with 2 seriously awesome groups of creative teachers! 💥

I am really proud of my conference presentations and feel incredibly lucky to have opportunities like this! #FETC #Techspo #NJETA #WTPSedtech

Text messages started rolling in this morning as folks begin their asynchronous PD. I love that people knew this was one of my creations! 😊 #WTPSedtech
I 💗 doing demo lessons with teachers & students! A smart 2nd grade teacher booked me to come in to teach her littles HOW to navigate a digital test. There are many little nuances of online assessments that need to be explicitly taught so that we truly assess content knowledge. #WTPSedtech #edusky
I made a whole video about Google Bookings calendar for my colleagues today……and my mic was off. 🤦♀️ #edusky #edtech #WTPSedtech
#FETC was an awesome conference! I learned SO much & will continue to learn as I pour through the multitude of resources I collected. I have GOBS of information to process.🤯 Best of all, I’ll be over-the-moon thrilled to start sharing all of this with #WTPSedtech staff, admins, & students back home.
This week I taught a teacher (& then a bunch of 5th graders) what infographics are - and how to create them in #Canva! It became an instant hit! Days later & the kids are still working on them at all hours…just because they want to! #edtech #teacher #edusky #ETcoach #WTPSedtech
Hey #edusky, I’m an #Edtech coach and I’m creating my latest #LearningInTheLoo today. I need one more idea! Who’s got a fun one I can share easily? My 2 most recent ones pictures below.

I got to play with Beebots today! A teacher got a class set with a bunch of community mats and didn’t know how to use any of it. Okay - I’ll come play & show you! Love me some Beebot coding fun!
#TechCoachLife #WTPSedtech
When the guy who used to be a principal at my school now works at a different school and wants to know if I still do my monthly #LearningInTheLoo! 🤣 Why yes, Ray, yes I do! I ❤️ that you miss them! (I emailed him a few recent ones.) #WTPSedtech
Thanksgiving kindness really must be in the air today! I work with a group of teachers called the D.R.E.A.M. Team in my district. We had an awesome meeting yesterday, and today I got several thankful emails. I’m SO thankful for them, too….they fuel my passion to lead & learn! #WTPSedtech #edusky
One of my #DREAMteam teachers created this after she learned about hexagonal thinking at my workshop today. She exclusively used pictures instead of words! I 💗 this variation and this creativity, and of course I love that she created it in Canva whiteboard! #WTPSedtech #edusky
Today I led our #DREAMteam teachers through a hexagonal thinking activity to review and synthesize information. This was a new strategy for most of them, and now they’ve added it to their own “teaching toolboxes” as a great teaching strategy! #WTPSedtech
🧰 I got to present this Ai workshop twice this week! I was so thrilled to be surrounded by such enthusiastic & engaged teachers all day, and I gave them each a powerful digital toolbox to take away! 🧰 Now I get to take this show on the road and do this at our other elementary schools! #WTPSedtech
Big thanks to @diffitapp.bsky.social for providing Donuts For Diffit today for our PD! They were enthralled with all that Diffit can do! (I knew they would be! 😉). Now I get to take this show on the road and present it again at 5 more elementary campuses!
Thanks from all of us at #WTPSedtech
I slayed today! Know how every once in a while you have a supremely productive day? I updated the Ai website I created for the district, planned the next #DREAMTeam meeting (including a cool hexagonal thinking activity), made new graphics, & communicated everything with my team! #edusky #WTPSedtech
I have the incredible honor of being a session facilitator at the upcoming Tech & Learning National Innovation Summit! I love sharing my passions for #Edtech and #EdLeadership ~ so I'm really looking forward to these discussions!
#EduSky #NJETA #WTPSedtech #EdLeadership
I am sooooo ready to share PD that 💥POPS💥 this year at #Techspo25! In my dynamic session, attendees will discover 6 (or more) super creative, out-of-the-box strategies to engage teachers, administrators, and staff in meaningful, fun #edtech PD!
#EduSky #NJETA #NJASA #WTPSedtech #EdLeadership
I’m so proud to have been featured as a leader in #AI and #edtech - check out the rest of the amazing featured leaders from Women in Ai & Edtech: www.aiforeducation.io/blog/spotlig....

This year I updated my #edtechcoach form that I fill out with a teacher when we co-plan any co-taught lesson that involves #edtech. This really helps to define goals & roles!

It's #GoogleMeet Day here! To prepare our staff for our switch to Google this summer, we turned on Google Meet, & are encouraging everyone to just give it a try today! My #WTPSedtech team and I are hosting a bunch of Meets throughout the day, too! 🏝
#GoogleET #GoogleEDU #PlayToLearn #edtech
My district is new to Google, and next week we're having a #GoogleMeet Day to encourage folks throughout the district to hop on a Meet and play-to-learn! I already made a tutorial video & a PDF for them - figured it was time to drop an Ai helper, too. SchoolAI to the rescue!
