Proud of all of Gen Z out today in force across the nation!

Picked this up at the recent Team ALP retreat. I love when I read new things that put ideas I’ve mulled over for years into lovely words. It’s so validating! Thanks, Amos Fodchuk for bringing me into this work! (Also, thanks Delta for the upgrade. Please keep ‘em coming!)

I’m always grateful when work allows me to catch up with old friends, and I’m especially grateful for Educational Technology Team in Palm Beach County for inviting me back for more Virtual Experiences.

Answering the call from Dean Shareski to bring joy into education, Johnston County Public Schools media coordinators practice design thinking by building candy pumpkin catapults before applying the same thinking to their learning spaces and learner-centered lessons. #alplearn Dell Technologies #edtech

A new book on why generalists—who dabble and try things, rather than committing immediately to a specialty—tend to find greater success has some clear (and counterintuitive) implications for parents, writes Ashley Fetters Maloy theatlantic.com/family/archive…

Things that Schools should teach: 🧠 • Being wrong is not a bad thing. • It's Okay to question what you have been taught. • Grades aren't as valuable as skills. • Understanding is more important than memorization. • Making mistakes is Okay. Learn from your mistakes.

This. I’ve participated in a lot of conversations about generative AI in schools lately. Most of these are centered around students using it to cheat. Maybe if the experiences we’re offering young people can be done by a bot in seconds, then it’s time to change our strategies.

I’m very excited to speak on a panel w/ Trevor Packer on the role of generative AI in the classroom at the Advanced Placement Annual Conference in Seattle, WA. If you are attending, come check it out on Friday at 8:30am PDT in Summit: Level 4 - Terrace Suite. #AP_Conf College Board
