The most important skill for creativity is no longer original thinking. It’s taste and tenacity. In the age of AI, ideas are abundant. Good judgment and execution are scarce. The future belongs to those who excel at finding and amplifying the signal in the noise.

I think less transactional classrooms, ones that operate in inquiry mode, are better at creating authentic, organic conversations where students make meaning and build connective knowledge. "Efficiency" may be a trade-off, but there is deep learning value in those conversations.

That's a wrap on #KAST26 The BEST Week of the year for Digital Learning Coaches. So many great ideas to share with our teachers. @RowanSchools @KentuckyDLC #neverstoplearning

PBL isn't about students "discovering" knowledge on their own, despite what critics say. It’s a vehicle to help them see why that knowledge is important and how connecting it helps them solve a real-world challenge or create something of value. wegrowteachers.com/consulting/pro…

I've been thinking about why so many people aren't using AI to learn new things. It's not that the tools aren't good enough. It's that we're still looking for the old structures: the syllabus, the expert instructor, the curated textbook. But AI fundamentally changes what's possible. You don't need to wait for someone to teach a course on exactly what you want to learn. You can have a patient tutor explain concepts in ten different ways until one clicks. You can ask the "dumb" questions you'd be embarrassed to ask in a classroom. The barrier to expanding out of your intellectual comfort zone used to be access. Now it's just willingness to embrace a new mental model: everything is learnable, and you don't need anyone's permission to start.

Rowan County Schools is redefining success through Local Accountability. @BrandyCarver @RowanSchools shares our journey with More growth. More connection. More real learning. Proud to be a part of this journey from Day 1. 💚#vibrantlearningjourney #valiantvikings

"Today, I sat in a 7th-grade social studies class where students used a SchoolAI Space to investigate Ancient Egypt. What changed the dynamic was Mission Control. As instructors, we paused multiple times because AI surfaced real-time insights: ✔️ Who was struggling to cite clearly ✔️ Who was beginning to embed quotes ✔️ Evidence use increasing across the room Instead of grading after the fact, we coached during the thinking." – Derek Oldfield, Instructional Technology Coordinator, WV #AIinEducation #EdTech #CriticalThinking

Our first breakout strand of the day! Pam Rowland (Rowan County) talks about "Profile of an #ai graduate." Natasha Stephen (Scott) shared how it can transform math instruction. Lecie Gilley (@bcpsky) discussed student use in her social studies class. #AllinKY #aiforkyed
