Is your classroom AI-ready or just AI-equipped? 💡 AI is reshaping how students explore the world, but it also brings up critical questions about ethics, bias, and digital responsibility. At NCCE, we believe the goal is to teach them how to use it wisely. Empower your students to be critical thinkers, not just end-users. Read the full blog on our website.

Behind every great student is a supported educator. 🍎✨ NCCE exists to bridge the gap between classroom challenges and innovative solutions. We believe in the power of partnership and the potential of every teacher to change the world. We’re proud to be the community where educators come to grow, connect, and lead.

AI isn’t replacing literacy… it’s redefining it. I recently had the opportunity to share a message with the @NCCE_EdTech (Northwest Council for Computer Education) I believe every educator, leader, and innovator needs to hear: 👉 AI is empowering the literacy skills of tomorrow’s workforce. We are no longer preparing students just to read, write, and compute. We are preparing them to: 👉 Think critically alongside AI 👉 Communicate with both humans (and machines) 👉 Evaluate information in an AI-generated world 👉 Create and produce content, not just consume 👉 Adapt to constantly evolve as learners #AI literacy is quickly becoming a foundational skill set—as essential as traditional literacy, but far more dynamic. What excites me most isn’t the technology itself…It’s the human opportunity. When we intentionally integrate AI: 👉 Teachers gain time back for deeper relationships 👉 Students engage in more authentic, real-world learning 👉 Leaders can design systems that are both innovative and human-centered The future of literacy is not about tools, it is about skills and relationships. It’s about empowerment, agency, and preparing learners to thrive in a world that is constantly evolving. 💡 The question isn’t if AI belongs in education. It’s how we lead with purpose, ethics, and vision. Learn more on Friday, March 27 as we support the National AI Literacy Day to Learn How AI is Shaping Our World! Link in comments. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss with our education friends across the country Tammy Brecht Dunbar, M.Ed., STEM Shannon Davenport, Bobby Myers, Kiersten Kerr, Mike Agostinelli, Ed.S., Maria Turner! #AIinEducation #FutureOfWork #AILiteracy #EdTech #Leadership #Innovation #FETC #K12 #HigherEd #FutureReady #edleaders Future of Education @fetc Technology Conference District Administration @DA_magazine youtube.com/watch?v=-Zb_qe…

What is Curipod, and How Can I Use it in My Classroom? ncce.org/what-is-curipo…

Big day in Florida at Edu Days! 📷 Spent time with bold educators who aren’t waiting for the future — they’re building it. Powerful conversations with districts pushing the boundaries of AI and shaping policies that actually move the needle. Grateful to partner with Microsoft Education to help drive what’s next. #EdTech #AI @mimi_life44 @MicrosoftEDU @cyberlockinc

Is your school’s tech footprint as small as it could be? With millions of devices in K-12 classrooms, e-waste is a growing challenge. But here’s the good news: sustainable tech practices actually save schools money and provide great learning moments for students! Try these 3 sustainable shifts: 1. Update, don’t replace: Practice "digital hygiene" to keep older devices running fast. 2. Repurpose with purpose: Old tablets make perfect digital portfolios or offline learning stations. 3. Lead by example: Teach students the "why" behind energy-efficient habits. Check out our blog on our website for more ways to make your classroom tech eco-friendly!
