Had an absolute blast at the #AdobeForEdu @ISTEofficial.bsky.social Photowalk! The composition image feature in the AI image generator is so cool - sparking endless creativity. I love what it did with my photos! #AdobeEduCreative #ISTELive #ASCDAnnual

Visited the Alamo today in San Antonio. It's a sobering and inspiring experience to learn about the 1836 battle and the history of the mission. A must-see for anyone interested in American history. #edusky #Alamo #TexasHistory #SanAntonio #ISTELive25

Today's #AdobePhotowalk discovery in San Antonio is Rosita's Bridge. Named for the celebrated singer Rosita Fernández, it's a picturesque spot on the River Walk that's full of charm and history. #edusky #EdTech #SanAntonio #RiverWalk #ISTELive25 #LocalHistory #AdobeEduCreative!

📍Selena Bridge, San Antonio River Walk. It was great to visit this iconic spot during my #AdobePhotowalk. Known for its feature in the "Selena" movie, it’s a landmark that resonates with so many. A beautiful blend of nature, architecture, and pop culture history. #edusky #EdTech #Selena #SanAntonio
