No lies, @scottholcombe.bsky.social is one of the hardest working men I know in education. I am always in awe with his many facets! I am so honored to have worked with him and have contributed our connection beyond that time. Hoping to connect with you at #FETC! #TETC #TNTEA #EduSky #BlackEduSky
Recapping and reflecting on my time at #TETC. I really enjoyed @smilelearning.bsky.social session on incorporating play into your lessons. Her energy is also really infectious. Thank you for the tools to take back. #TNTETA #EduSky #BlackEduSky
Finally had the opportunity to attend a @gregbagby.bsky.social 😁 presentation with @juliedavisedu.bsky.social ☀️ and @gastoncindy.bsky.social ❤️. They all were phenomenal as we engaged in discussions and ideas around fostering student originality and creativity. #TETC #TNTEA #Edusky #BlackEduSky
First day of #TETC in the books, but more to come tomorrow. Join me for tomorrow’s session as we dive into Canva Video Editor. Whether you’re making instructional videos or having your students create their own. We will go over how to get started. #TNTETA #EduSky #BlackEduSky #ContentCreation
I volunteered to work #TETC registration this morning but I had to peep in for a few minutes to be a part of the @techtips411.bsky.social experience. Definitely going to make the next session. #TETC #TNTETA #EduSky #BlackEduSky
I had the opportunity to use @markifyapp.com last year with a few of my teachers. This year I got to meet Anthony, founder, and his former teacher. Anthony has done great things with @markifyapp.com and it is continuing to evolve. #TETC #TNTETA #Edusky #BlackEduSky
The highlight of my #TETC conference experience. My only regret is I left my book at home so I didn’t get it signed 😩! But I did experience some great coffee.
Hey @kshelton.bsky.social I got a story for you. This wonderful lady walks up to me and starts sharing about how much she loves our book and wishes she brought her copy for an autograph. 20 min and two cups of coffee later realize we're Blue Sky buddies! @lpugh3.bsky.social
Now I am totally geeking out 🤪! I am so excited to have met @deelanier.bsky.social in person! Crossing my fingers that I win the companion for The Promises And Perils of AI in Education 🤞🏾! #TETC #TNTETA #EduSky #BlackEduSky
Even at a conference you have to set time aside for self. Anyone else get in their workout after getting to your hotel? 🏋🏾♀️ Ready for tomorrow’s sessions! #TETC
@hookean.bsky.social has a ton of festive science resources. Great resources to take a look at as many are preparing for a close out of the first half of the school year. #BlackEduSky
Teachers. If you need a Christmas resource for a lesson over the coming weeks, these may be handy. Lots of festive puzzles and some quizzes too. None are mine but gathered over the years. Hope you find them useful 🎅🎄 #ITeachPhysics 🎢 #SciTeachUK #EduSky drive.google.com/drive/folder...
Thrilled for the opportunity to attend 2 tech conferences this year! Been to many types of conferences in past years. Over time, my focus at conferences shifted. What’s your main focus when you attend? Is it the sessions, exhibit hall, networking, time away from school, etc? #Edusky #EduBlackSky

It’s okay to say no. In fact, at times it’s critical. Protect your time and energy so you can say yes to what truly matters. #EduSky
AGREE! Students need to engage with it to understand its biases and learn how to navigate them. At the same time, we must better prepare educators and administrators. While tools that simplify tasks are helpful, we need to go deeper to address the broader challenges AI presents. #EdTech
Blocking AI isn’t the answer. It’s time for intentional AI literacy: history, ethics, challenges, and data awareness. Students need to see how critical thinking and analysis skills are even more necessary now than ever before! #EduSky

Tech should empower, not overwhelm! Aligning technology with curriculum ensures learning stays the priority. Expose students to tech intentionally. When tech supports clear goals, it sparks innovation instead of chaos. #EdTech www.techlearning.com/news/the-imp...

Year 1 of 1:1 iPad implementation is kicking my butt. Today might have been the first day I wished students had MacBooks again. But this to shall pass.
