Short-form video (15s -3m) seems to be a sweet spot for educators and doctors. It’s an ideal attention span and interconnection point for PD, instruction, and authentic responses. Pew Research shows the data by pops. pewresearch.org/internet/fact-…

Llama2 is an AI system that can be run on Windows. This could be the beginning of companies and districts running their own internal AI for secure data tasks and prompts, which would make AI considered closer to a calculator than a conspirator. blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/07/1…

New year, new Canvas! Teachers may see last year's 22-23 courses on their Dashboard. Their unpublished 23-24 classes will appear soon after the registrar updates courses/schedules. Teachers can customize their courses here: bit.ly/3DJPQwD #HISDcanvas

🤖AI Day3 - EduAide.AI a toolbox of teacher tasks made eAIsy. Big Ideas: Open-ended feedback bot, subject and rigor tuned lesson plan assist, Lesson chat, & formative factory. These are early ideas, next we'll see vendors splice them into adopted tools. #pdgpt

Granny FaceTime - I realized that we stopped our pandemic tradition of reading to granny on FaceTime. Grannies need love, attention and grandchildren, so we’re back to it. 15-20min. from each son. Memories and stimulation. Hi-quality screen time. Try it. #reading #granny

I got teary in the halls as I left my 5th grader to his last first day of elementary, my 8th to his last-first. A few years and a thousand memories came rushing in, like a spirit passing through me. So grateful to be a parent and employee of #HISD.

What if we had a service that called truant kids or absentees and sold them on coming to school or scheduled them to the best wraparound service? Like this call does.

Got a tour of SchooLinks, the new college, finance, and career planning tool #HISD schools will use. So many tools and ways to support students before and beyond graduation. SchooLinks
