"They maybe found a place where they fit, better than they expected". God that sentiment hits home. Give me a story that lets me feel THIS .... I will buy every book, stand in line at DragonCon to get your signature & send you a plate of cookies just to express the deepest gratitude.

So, I didn't want to tell the "now mutants are hated more than ever" thing. I think that's valid and most of the best mutant stories have that element. But I wanted a story where they maybe found a place where they fit, better than they expected. 13/

Robotics isn't just engineering. 🤖 It's creativity, psychology, design + problem-solving. When students see a Black woman leading a robotics lab, possibilities expand. Representation matters. #NoireSTEMinist #Robotics #STEM #AI #BlackInEngineering #RepresentationMatters

How much of school is doing things to find out what they already know? -paraphrasing John Dewey when he saw is daughter in a classroom

Two days before pre-planning. Going in to set up the lab, get things ready, and figure out what quote to hang on the door. Last year was "The one thing every student is capable of is surprising you with what they're capable of" @garystager.bsky.social #EduSky #RoomPreparations

Great webinar with @darrenhood.bsky.social "UX Cycle of Excellence" Where teachers could benefit: Closing the skill gap, we have an ever evolving range of tools for teaching, and very little time to play with them to learn them. Making a commitment to explore is professional development. #EduSky

IXDF UX Class 5.7: @celiahodent.com introduces Seymour Papert's Constructionism learning as a means of teaching players in games. My nerd teacher's heart swells when my two passions collide. 🤓♥️ Seriously, when do we start to see beyond Thorndike's conditioning in school? #EduSky #UX4Learning

Lesson 5.3 IXDF class with @celiahodent.com Presence as an element of engagement has Physical, Narrative & Emotional presence. How the player feels as they play. What if we designed curriculum & classrooms with the same attention to Presence? Could school be as engaging as gameplay? #EduSky

Quote @scottdejong.bsky.social Facilitation becomes key in learning through games because it invites a different type of pedagogy. In games, specifically, facilitation becomes split into two worlds,one focused on the learning goals of the game and the other on managing the space. #EduSky #Games

In Google Gemini, if enabled, students can type @classroom what are my assignments and get information about their assignments across classes! #GoogleEDU #TeacherTech #EduSky

AI produces B-minus work in seconds. If your assignments test what AI commoditized, you are measuring the wrong thing. Time to redesign. 📉 #Education #AIEDU

Rather than having the teacher be the only one who decides what constitutes good work, have the students contribute as well, and make them part of that process from the very beginning. Interview with @mssackstein.bsky.social www.cultofpedagogy.com/co-construct...

Build it Together: Co-Constructing Success Criteria with Students | Cult of Pedagogy

When we include students in the process of defining quality work, they are more likely to rise to those standards.

As part of the 1st ISTE AI in the Classroom cohort, and long time coach, I disagree. Some of us were calling out the pitfalls back in 2022 before ChatGPT 3.0 It's just that no one wants to hear that the emperor has no clothes. #WhyWeNeedProgressiveEd #EduSky #ConstructionismWorks

Being a pioneer in the use of A.I. in education is "like saying, 'I was the first one to eat an arm in the Donner Party.'" (Here I'm quoting a character in "The Comeback," whose recent season dealt with the use of A.I. to write TV shows.)

"In other words, we should be measuring how well our kids are equipped to survive and thrive in the world we find ourselves in." One of the best pieces about Data Science in education I've read this year! adsei.org/2026/06/22/q... @lindamciver.adsei.org #EduSky #MeasureWhatMatters

Questioning the Answers: The Role of Scepticism in Data Science (and Education!)

My students have an absolutely awesome level of pride in the games they make, the apps they build, the chocolates they design & print. Building is essential to true deep learning.

"When saving money, time, or resources become the grounds upon which it requires students to do things, how can we not expect students to respond with their own approaches being efficient or doing so with a sense of apathy."

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Less "Awesome" and more "I survived" but today was Field Day. I love my Principal & AP, if the price for working with an amazing admin is Field Day, then I'll do Field Day. But in my plans for "The World's Most Excellent School" Field Day is right out #EduSky #FieldDay😐

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Today was last day of classes. 😁 Three days of activities then Summer 😁 I am so ready for Summer ☀️🌅🌞⛱️

At the PyCon Education Summit, a gem from Nicholas Tollervey stood out: "…asking what sort of education we cultivate is the same as asking what sort of society we want to become…technology shapes society, so shaping technology is a civic, cultural and political skill, not merely a technical one."
