For those of us that love our Bitmojis, the Bitmoji extension is no longer supported and has been removed from Chrome. I joined others in emailing Snapchat and asking them to update the app but I don't hold out much hope. #byeBitmoji #EduSky
Super excited to be working with Kansas Infinitec to deliver an AI workshop specific to special education! #EduSky #Sped #AI4Ed

#IDEACon - PD Playlist with @stefaniepitzer.bsky.social was AMAZING! bit.ly/IDEAplaylist25
#IDEACon25 is starting off with Apple Intelligence. Very exciting updates coming to edu! #learningisgrowing #TechTitans804
It is definitely in the "infant" stage and will change a ton even in the next 2 years. "Worst" isn't an accurate statement in my opinion.
Doc Tabs are AMAZING! I love the fact that you can use emojis and/or text to name the tabs. Alice has 5 great ideas for using Doc Tabs #TechTitans804
2 weeks until #IDEACon25! Working on my Google tips and tricks session. Does anyone have tips/tricks to share? Always looking for new things to add to the preso. #IDEACon #GoogleEdu #GoogleChampions #TechTitans804
The one SOPPA agreement (Ilinois NDPA) they signed says No students under 13 in the Ex A. Instead of signing a new clear doc they signed another Ex A . It is confusing. Even with an actual request they refused to sign a new SOPPA. I worked with them for 2 months and they refused. #ImDone
They refused to sign a new SOPPA agreement. They kept adding addendums and our lawyers said No go.
Love that in slideshow mode I can turn on a pen to annotate using Shift+L #EduSky #GoogleEDU #TechTitans804
Is anyone using Lucidspark as their Jamboard replacement? I know about Figjam but we can't use it due to legal issues. #EduSky #GoogleEDU
One of the best conferences! I never miss it! #EduSKy #IDEAil

OMG! That was decades ago! I was so young!
This is a conference not to be missed! #IDEAcon #EduSky
Question 4 from EduSkyAI Chat on Dec 5 - Looking to the future, how do you think students will (or won't) be using AI 3 to 5 years from now?
A4: We have to remember that Gen AI is in its infancy stage and will just keep innovating and changing. AI itself is already deeply ingrained into everything we do, we just don't always notice it. I think it will be common place just like google search is now. Think about that. #EduSkyAI
Question 3 of EduSkyAI chat from 12-5: Have you used any AI tools directly with students? How did it go?
A3: We have a partnership with @magicschoolai.bsky.social and our dipping out toes into student use with this tool. I have also used @schoolai.com to create spaces to share with students. One of our therapists created a "safe" space for a student to talk about hygiene.
A2: They are not easily impressed and they are certainly not scared of trying it! They also pay no attention to data privacy concerns...sigh. #EduSkyAI
Question 1 of EduSkyAI Chat - After 2 years of Gen AI, how are you seeing students use it, for better or worse?
Missed the #EduSkyAI Chat last night so my next few posts will be answering those questions.
A1: Our students may be using it outside of school, but currently our staff are the ones using the gen AI tools. We are a sped district so this may account for some of the situation.
If you want to know about ed tech follow this man! @ericcurts.bsky.social shares incredible resources ALL of the time! When something new enters our arena, I go to his website and almost always he already has created a resource! Thanks Eric! #EduSky #sharingiscaring #learningisgrowing #TechTitans804
I am just starting to figure out the power of Google NotebookLM! I didn't get it but now I do!! Working on a BlueSky Notebook to share. Please share any BlueSky resources you have created and willing to share. #EduSkyAI #EduSky #GoogleChampions #TechTitans804
