Listening to Esteban Gast this morning at #vste25 is a great reminder that our stories matter - we believe what is possible based on the stories we tell ourselves and others. We believe what is possible based on what we have seen and experienced. Stories shape the world around us.

Lots of great ideas in the #VSTE25 Board Demo Slam: * Kami Companion - can change the reading level or language of Text and read aloud * Sumo AI - create songs in any genre to summarize learning or celebrate * Wayground - make boring slides interactive #demoslam

Student panelist Sam encouraged adults in schools to let kids be more creative with technology and find their passions. He gave an example of finding he loved the podcast scene after an assignment and even wanted to start his own sports podcast #vste25

Snow day

As is so often true, @heymrsbond.com says it so well. I’m surrounded by teachers who have trees and stockings and such. I have snowmen and snowflakes. Kids are surrounded by Christmas. I’ve learned my room doesn’t need to include it.

The end of the #VSTE24 conference is such an odd feeling. A year’s worth of work by this incredible group of educators comes together, ensuring we have an amazing experience for more than 1400 attendees and exhibitors, and then… it’s over. The exhaustion and the quiet and stillness sets in @vste.org

Morning! I think what makes the difference between a group of people & a team is the interdependence - it’s a balance of knowing you can & will support each other & that you don’t always have to. When support is needed it’s just part of what you do & there are times that each is supported #bfc530

Are you attending and/or presenting at #VSTE24? If so, let me know and I can add you! Wouldn’t it be great if we had a #EduSky meetup there? go.bsky.app/Nc3AtV5

I really like using ChatGPT and others for automating tasks - I have the idea and need it put together in an email, adding a theme to a staff meeting. I tried to use it for creating a schedule but we had too many parameters! #bfc530

Good morning #BFC530! Being outside and offline are two ways I recharge! I love exploring National Parks or taking a walk on a trail, especially one with a waterfall! I feel like I breathe differently when I’m outside in the woods!

Our annual VSTE conference is coming up! Please join us December 8-11 in Virginia Beach! Registration closes Nov 26! #VSTE24 vsteconference.org

Seeing posts about #edchats being revived and #edcamp happening makes me feel like this app has potential to rekindle the glory days of educators building a #PLN online! I have missed the ideas and connections we shared! #edusky
