South Portland HS is connected with Senegal again! Game Design students created English teaching games that were professionally produced & mailed to students in Louga. We even made a tutorial video (with Wolof explanation from our SRO!). @FulbrightPrgrm youtube.com/watch?v=KwuK2W…

Love seeing students speak to local, state, and national organizations. This year we had students talking to other teachers in Maine about #aiintheclassroom. I couldn't be prouder of their presence! #sphs #sphscshs #cshs #aiintheclassroom #studentvoice #studentleaders

The final sale of the year will be next week! Wed April 8th and Thurs April 9th. During parent teacher conferences! From 3-6pm on Wed and 3-5pm on Thursday. #riotrefurb #devicesale #spsdme

From being inspired by R2-D2 at age 10 to creating the world's first social robot — Dr. Breazeal is now on a mission to bring AI literacy to EVERY student & teacher. 170+ countries. 20,000 teachers. 1 million students. soundcloud.com/user-49141370-… #AI #EdTech #AILiteracy #OneVoiceinCS

NASA visiting SPHS! So lucky to have two doctors from NASA visit our SPHS CSHS! What great guest speakers!! #cshs #nasa #guestspeakers #sphs

15 year old chromebook that's broken? No problem! Today my student figured out how to use a control board and created a new portable monitor. Next: designing and 3d printing a solution for a base. Go SPHS CSHS! #cshs #ewastereduction @CultureOfRepair #makered #repaired

We're developing games for the teacher I met in Senegal to help learn English. Excited to see the three chosen to get published! Here's in progress work. #gamedesign #fullbright #intercultural #education #beyondtheclassroom @FulbrightPrgrm

What if AI isn't the enemy of learning to code but one of the best tools we can give students? Free tools, simple frameworks, stronger thinkers. #onevoiceincs #csta @csteachersorg soundcloud.com/user-49141370-…

Logan finished our CSHS video for community week and it is perfect! #CSHS Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=i5tiQe… #spsdme #celebratestudents #communitywork

New: From tinkering on an Omega computer in rural NC to building K-12 data literacy for every student. Mahmoud Harding's take on AI? It's like giving a chef better pans: elevates expertise, doesn't replace it. soundcloud.com/user-49141370-… #onevoiceincs #csta

As I study how AI impacts coding, I've developed another teacher tool. A free way to set up and organize groups with student input on roles. NO student data collected! Easy to use! If you use groups in your classes- here: groupupclass.lovable.app #teacherapp #aiinedu

Love when 3D prints help the school! Designed and in use for the custodians. A cap for the pipe to hold the net in place: replacing the need for zip ties getting trashed every swap. #reduse #3dprinting #3dprintsforgood #spsdme #engineeringdesigns

Students from the CSHS will be presenting in a panel about AI Successes, Failures & Tips at Frost Forward Online Technology Conference! Open to anyone. Here's the registration link: forms.gle/RrNudktkwgaFfC… #studentpresentions #spsdme #cstamaine #cshs

Excited to be able to work with teachers around the country on awesome events like #CSTA2026! Can't wait to see people again in July! #csta #cstamaine #teachingCS

SPHS CSHS at the community repair fair! We fixed items, shared what we do, and met a lot of people in the community. #cshs #studentleaders #repair #reducewaste #ewaste @CultureOfRepair @projectlogin

Time to do some community events! SPHS CSHS will be presenting a maker workshop! Learn 3D printing Mon March 2nd from 3:30-5pm. Free entry! All supplies included! SPHS room 250. #communityevent #3dprinting #sphscshs #cshs #sphs #spsdme

How do you build the world's largest K-12 CS educator community? Ask Jake, @CSTeachersOrg Executive Director, who help grow CSTA! "Behind every confident student is an empowered teacher." #csta #onevoiceincs #csforall soundcloud.com/user-49141370-…

NEA article out today with a video including student voice! LOVE when my students can be heard nationally. #Aiintheclassroom #AIineducation nea.org/nea-today/all-… #csta #cstahonorsociety #cseducation

Excited for next semester: I have a student who will be doing an ELO which involves design, business creation, website, computerized embroidery, and learning more sewing techniques. Technology is an amazing tool to work with! #bestjob #spsdme #elo #sewingandtechnology #csed

Building an arcade machine and then having students code the games ON the machine. It's been a fun process! Wish I took more pictures of it in progress. Like when students wired it...! #cshs #steameducation #makered #cs #mainecsta
