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…

Researchers say the discovery of the oldest known recordings of whale sounds could open up a new understanding of how the huge animals communicate.

An honor to be reunited with my mentor, Jim Downey.

“Timing is very important. You need to pick hard problems to solve and be ambitious with them. But you've also got to pick the right time when the world and the context that you're in is the right kind of environment for those ideas to flourish.” In his official Nobel Prize interview, Demis Hassabis discussed how his aspirations as a young gaming programmer were ahead of their time.

We're big fans of π! NASA missions depend on pi - from returning astronauts to Earth from the International Space Station to learning about the materials inside a planet or asteroid. Check out 18 ways that NASA uses pi: go.nasa.gov/4drYtyW

Yes, NASA has a meatball. No, it’s not on the menu. 🍝 Happy #NationalMeatballDay! The classic NASA insignia has been around since 1959 — blue sphere for a planet, stars for space, red vector for aeronautics, and an orbit for exploration. You’ll spot it across @NASA, including at NASA Johnson Space Center, where teams train astronauts and support missions that push exploration farther to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
