@AubreeAdams4 Keep up the brave work Aubree,

After years of volunteering and advocating in various states, I had the opportunity to work with several nonprofits focused on educating the public about marijuana. As I grew in my role, I gained support from individuals who recognized my passion for helping people understand the significant and often devastating impacts of marijuana commercialization. With their encouragement and support, I established my own nonprofit, Every Brain Matters. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and remain committed to my mission, despite the challenges posed by pro-marijuana advocates. To continue my work, I need to raise funds for salaries, materials, resources, projects, and campaigns. I want to emphasize that I do not accept funding from the alcohol, pharmaceutical, or tobacco industries. I kindly ask you to consider supporting my efforts this Giving Tuesday. Your contributions will help me provide recovery resources to families and educate communities. To make a donation, please use this link: everybrainmatters.org/donate/ Additionally, please take a moment to review my latest newsletter for a better understanding of my work, at this link: conta.cc/49GHozJ Thank you, Aubree Adams #GivingTuesday #everybrainmatters

@BrittMcHenry I’ve just recovered from this so I “feel your pain”. Standard advice, but seeing a Podiatrist is your best bet, imho. He taped my foot for support then, iced it, etc. it minimized the pain considerably, then had me get custom orthotics. Big help!

Anyone who’s had plantar fasciitis…how do you cure it? Do I stop running completely? Advice welcome, thanks!

@ValerieTredway @TuckerCarlson My brother too. It’s heartbreaking watching it happen to someone you love so dearly.

My brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his late 20s. Heavy marijuana user, so this topic is close to my heart, because it was devastating to witness his life ruined by this. Thank you for doing this podcast. I will add info below why smoking pot triggers psychosis in vulnerable people.

Once you understand just how destructive cannabis is to young men, it’s hard not to see it as a tool of social control. Dr. Daniel Amen explains. (0:00) How Does Marijuana Affect the Brain?

@PortElysium Oh we had fab 5 presentations. talk about an app or website or tool for 5 mins. Great fun

@AMWheelock Who are "Fab 5", please, @AMWheelock ?

Full house for Fab 5 #NYSCATE22 #edtech

@GriffithKhalid @RutgersAltRoute Great point Khalid. Thank you for your thoughtful response.

@AMWheelock @RutgersAltRoute I share these concerns. I think ultimately teachers need to let students know that for testing purposes, they will need to actually understand the material and they disservice themselves when grading time comes if they don't actually understand what use AI for.

While many educators find AI very useful, there are clear challenges with this technology. Let’s break down the challenges of using AI in education. #TeacherEd #EdTech Question 3: What challenges does artificial intelligence use in education present? How can we address them?

@RutgersAltRoute What a wonderful session ! Thank you so much for having me. I will spend more time looking at all the great responses and conversation. Lots of new people to follow! Good day everyone thank you @HeatherNgoma #TeacherEd #EdTech @RutgersAltRoute

Thanks again for joining us today. Have a great rest of your Saturday :) **Final reminder for our Rutgers Alternate Route teachers, please remember to sign out here: go.rutgers.edu/EdTechOut

@JBR_Kleinmann @RutgersAltRoute Yes, I'm finding my students are so nimble with new technology, its so exciting. Sometimes I think they get held back by not access to pro-accounts that they can really get fluent.

@AMWheelock @RutgersAltRoute When I was an adjunct I taught my class using all forms of technology! And taught them how to use it also for lessons

In Question 5, we will examine how teachers use technology to connect with resources and each other. Tag any professional communities you are a part of! #TeacherEd #EdTech What's your experience leveraging technology to expand knowledge and exchange ideas with other educators.

@HeatherNgoma @RutgersAltRoute Would love to chat more!

@AMWheelock @RutgersAltRoute Interesting point, Andrew. We're planning a blog post on this topic. I'd love to have your perspective included. Thanks for elevating this.

@Alexa_teaches @RutgersAltRoute I feel similar Alexa, I had backed away from social media for a bit because of the harangue of politics, but this conversation makes me see how much I miss good #edtechchat #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute I actually feel quite isolated within the larger ed community, and technology and discussions like this forces me to explore options that others at my school haven’t before! I love the belief that educating children can be a collective, global feat. #EdTech #TeacherEd

@JBR_Kleinmann @RutgersAltRoute Do you find your pre-service teachers using social media for PLN development on their own? Do you encourage it. As an adjunct, I'd like to explore it more, but I don't sense students are engaging with each other that way. I'd love your thoughts. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute A5. Sharing ideas openly builds confidence—especially for new teachers. Collaboration is our superpower. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RobertEmmettIII @RutgersAltRoute @classdojo had been very well recieved by our Elementary Teachers. Would love to have older students use it too, but it still is seen as kid-friendly and not HS friendly. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute Q4: it’s important to keep parents and caregivers in the loop as their child learns. Technology makes this process easier through apps such as Class Dojo where teachers can post updates and parents can comment directly to address concerns. #Teachered #EdTech

We want to hear your ideas for engaging parents and families. Consider how you connect students’ out-of-school learning to form partnerships with families. #TeacherEd #EdTech How do/can you use technology to facilitate active and regular engagement with parents and caregivers?

@cnicholson029 @RutgersAltRoute Nicely said Chris!

@RutgersAltRoute A4 Family engagement is important in students school. Technology is a very useful tool to help communicate easily with parents about anything that is going on. Clear communication is the best way to help support students in school and out of school #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute I think every school district needs to have this prompt as they approache their vision for A.I. This thread has given me great food for thought. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@Rdene915 @RutgersAltRoute Well answered Rachelle! #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute A3 AI raises concerns about bias, accuracy, & student over-reliance. We address this through clear guidelines, PD, and ongoing digital citizenship instruction. @rutgersaltroute #education #teachered #edtech
