@tanya_churchill @twhanley @WCPSS @wcpssdll @ISTEofficial Wahoooo!!! Congratulations!! 🥳🥳🥳

I'll latch onto this tweet since @twhanley pushed me to work at her lightening pace to accomplish the task! Your advice was instrumental! The @wcpss DLCs who were part of all my artifacts can't be left out either! CouldN'T have done it w/o YOU on my team @wcpssdll @ISTEofficial

YAY!! You’re an incredible educator, leader and advocate! So proud of you!!! 🥳🥳🥳

So how do you create "AI-Proof" assignments? Let's start by allowing students to have passion and pride in their work. @educationweek @southjoseph #ChatGPT bit.ly/3lFqSZL

North Carolina won’t pay teachers extra for having a master’s degree, but Wake County will now. Starting July 1, Wake County will compensate school employees who missed the state's 2013 cutoff to get paid more for having an advanced degree. #wcpss #nced newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

How do you innovate within the box of k-12 education until the box changes its shape and color? Such a thought provoking session at #Cosn2023 on "Journey to #AsYetImagined Futures" with transformation of education through blended and personalized learning. @CoSN #WonderWake

Panelists @AlisonSchlo, @Keith_Bockwoldt and @MrsAReid come together at #CoSN2023 to discuss AI and ChatGPT. @PeteJust moderates. #cosn2023

Generative AI needs to push our educational philosophies toward more rigorous assignments and activities that build students critical thinking and creation skills. Yes, you might need to re-envision how you develop assessments... #CoSN2023 #WonderWake

Generative AI can build scaffolds for students to grow as they analyze the content provided in their exploration of tools like Chat GPT. #CoSN2023

🥰Thank you!

🐼PANDA-MONIUM! Super stoked to be a part of this group of #CanvasCertified educators! Looking forward to continuing my learning to support blended learning throughout our Canvas Expansion initiative and beyond! #wonderwake @Canvas_by_Inst

In the midst of my first @CoSN conference in Austin this week! Engaging conversation on the CoSN EdTechNext Report session. Major topic--Generative AI and thinking about how we can adapt with rapid change and build mindsets for resilience through change. #CoSN2023

@hooverwv Yes! Providing opportunities for students to read and hear themselves reading too, they can replay it and work on fluency! Plus, how fun would this be to show a grown up during student led conferences?

@LPBarnes1 Younger Ss practicing reading fluency can read aloud a text as a response to an Online Submission Assignment w/ Media Recording selected. The Ts can give audio feedback after reviewing. I ♥ this option because it frees up the Ts to facilitate other learning experiences.

Wondering how to use Canvas for in person learning? "Create deeper dialogues by asking students to post thoughts using Discussions; this gives students who may be too shy to speak up in class a voice."📌ES tip-have students record a video of themselves in their discussion post!
