This is why I love introducing teachers to Gemini! One minute you're learning prompt engineering, the next you're co-headlining a space concert with Michael Jackson in LEGO form😂.

Had a great day of learning yesterday, excited to learn more today. Let's go day 2!! #InstructureCon26

Content Creators, Podcasters, now MUSEUM EXHIBITORS 🤩 So proud of our John P Parker students exhibiting at the Freedom Center here in Cincy! Huge thanks to Dr. Mack & the JPP staff for letting me partner with these amazing creators! 🎙️❤️ #StudentCreators #AdobeEduCreative
AI bans and dense policies don't work for students. Visual guardrails do! Establish AI expectations with a simple traffic light system 🔴 Red = Screenless 🟡 Yellow = AI helper (brainstorming) 🟢 Green = AI partner (co-creation) ⭐ Clear boundaries = better learning ⭐
LOVED this reminder that came across my feed 🥰. JUST DO IT...that's all it takes! #WeAreALLMathPeople #CreativeNerdsUnite
Good morning Creative Nerds 😍! Don't forget to take time to rest. We all need to recharge our batteries 🧘🏾♀️

Yesterday I got to facilitate one of the most fun collaborative sessions of my career 😍. I want to pause and shout out the amazing educators who inspired what I shared!
🗣Teacher shout-out! John P Parker warms my heart 🥰. The 5/6 team had students write a personal note and added an encouraging teacher note. The Gen Alpha lingo is a beautiful nod to the community that has been built this year! We need more of this! #WeTeachHumans
Learning about Berna's Changemaker classroom inspired me to my core and restored my faith in our future! Thank you for the great work you are doing! #ELEVATETHEHUMANSTORY
Hearing how these students are leading the way on training teachers and their peers on how to learn with AI is ASPIRATIONAL🤩. I’m definitely gonna try and tune in to their virtual summit April 20 - 25! 🔗studentsforinnovation.org/summit #ELEVATETHEHUMANSTORY
Kicking off the Global Impact Conference with a creative session on using memes for instruction, I FEEL SEEN😂! I love the idea of using memes to showcase content AND let students demonstrate their learning. 😍Learned a new resource: imgflip.com #ELEVATETHEHUMANSTORY @isteofficial.bsky.social
SO EXCITED for the @isteofficial.bsky.social Global Impact Conference today! Elevating the beauty of diverse human excellence is do needed at this time. Tune in! 🔗 www.globalimpacteducators.org 📽 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDLC...
Yes, I totally could have just made a standard "meet the presenters" slide, but why miss an opportunity to be extra? 😂 (So excited to work with students tomorrow!) #ArtIsNotOptional Cincinnati Public Schools
What if your students could see themselves in the future? 🚀Check out how our @jppcincinnati 3rd graders used @AdobeExpress to visualize their future careers😍. Which of these "future selves" is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏾 #TeachWithAdobe #AdobeEduCreative
We challenged #OETC26 teachers to App Smash BookCreator & Adobe Express to envision the future of the Winter Olympics. It got wonderfully weird. 😂 👉🏾 Check out our sports and remix this book: bit.ly/oetc2030olym... Which gets your vote? 🗳️ #AdobeEduCreative @oetc.bsky.social @bookcreator.com
Never did I ever...think that AI training with the Superintendent's office would lead to me making pancakes steampunk style 😂
🛑 Stop using stale stock photos for teacher PD! I used @GeminiApp to create a custom character for my @Securly Classroom training. Results? * Staff feeling seen during training! * Actual laughs during the "email notification" slide! * Zero time wasted searching images!
📣 Adobe Express Creative Challenge Math Remix! In "Proportional Plushies", students act as toy designers, use proportional reasoning, and Generate Image to create a custom toy! ⭐Grab the template: adobe.ly/49jnPNF @adobeexpress.adobe.com #AdobeEduCreative #iteachmath #MathIsCreative
The Nov Adobe Express Creative Challenge is all about designing your own plush toy, and I couldn't resist a Queen Mel unicorn🦄! My "special" power? "Knowing myself and OWNING it!" What's your hidden power? Join the fun👉🏾http://adobe.ly/43FzBy8 #AdobeEduCreative
I love the times that I can participate in "training" as a learner/creator, and this Adobe Express guided activity never gets old! #CPSLearningLab #AdobeEduCreative @adobeexpress.adobe.com @adobelive.bsky.social @adobe.com
I love engaging with student creators...how else do you become an anime-style "K-Pop Tech Slayer" who studies sharks and describes themselves in icons and emojis? 😂 @adobeexpress.adobe.com @bookcreator.com #JPPCincinnati #AdobeEduCreative #TeachWithAdobe #TeachWithBookCreator
I'm SO excited! At the CDW Connected Classroom Training, I created a storybook using Gemini! After some Adobe Express editing, I have a book my creative math nerd heart is OBSESSED with! bit.ly/4nra4Qg #AdobeEduCreative #GoogleAIPro #cdweducation #GoogleForEducation @bookcreator.com
What a successful coteach at Bramble! Students shared book recommendations using KamiApp, and the combo of Kami's ClassView + Clear Touch boards made real-time feedback a breeze. 🎉 My next read might just be about a scary unicorn! 🦄😂 #EdTechWin #AppSmash #TeachWithKami #TeachWithClearTouch
🌟NEW LEARNING🌟 I just learned about androidify.com, where you can customize your own Android bot. I had to animate it with Firefly, because you can't stand still in skates😅. 🤔 How would you envision utilizing this tool in your classroom? @adobelive.bsky.social @adobe.com
I'm excited to show West High students how Adobe Express Text to Image in Book Creator can transform their idioms books 🤩. #AdobeEduCreative
