I'm looking forward to learning from Kendall Zoller this week at Learning Forward Florida! I've enjoyed digging into his book and wrote this post for @learntexas.bsky.social about a few of his steps of presentation choreography. #LFTXLearns #FloridaLearns #EduSky

I really enjoyed our last discussion protocol of the day at #LFNTX! Partners had a prompt related to the topic, we reflected about our wish to do more, do less, do better, or do different…then turned and discussed with a partner! Thanks Laura M for a fabulous day of learning! #LFTXLearns

I believe this advice is so true when designing #ProfessionalLearning, too! @elektronikav.bsky.social & I talk about this all the time. Less is more! #EduSky #CoffeeEDU

Less is More. More is Too Much. I was recently asked to consider one piece of advice I'd give to teachers. And, after thinking about it for a bit, I guess I'd suggest doing less, not more. More may be too much. theeffortfuleducator.com/2025/02/18/l... #edusky

The best we can do, IMO, is to equip young people with practices (skills, knowledge, attitudes, habits of mind) that allow them to exert agency over the technology. This is true of all tech. Years ago when I was first battling the distraction of smart phones, I used to do an exercise with students..

Ugh! Bitly will begin showing a preview page prior to directing users to the destination URL—and that preview page may include advertising. "You can remove the preview page experience from your links and QR Codes at any time by selecting a paid Bitly plan." #EduSky #TLSky #EdTech

Screenshot of an email from Bitly with the subject "Upcoming changes to our Terms of Service." The email informs free plan users that starting next month, a preview page with potential advertising will be shown before redirecting viewers to the destination URL.
