Me in a t shirt that says Trust me, I use AI

👕 #TechTShirtTuesday - this time it’s the shirt, not the company.

Trust me.
But… trust me how? Believe me? Trust the AI because I’m the one using it? Or trust that it’s a good thing? 🤔

Curious what others see in it.

Me in a phone photo wearing my traffic cone earrings

After a positive meeting with our Head last week, my fellow digital lead teacher and I are feeling very much like the “first cone out”, as described in the #Conefessions series by David Curran over on LinkedIn.

It's more #TechtextbookTuesday than #TechTshirtTuesday but lifelong learning is at the heart of being an #Eduguardian so I reckon I'm okay with a cheeky inclusion of the latest book from @theaieducator.io
Something in here for everyone.

Seeing things through a different lens It’s a new school year and teachers are creating new resources or giving old ones a glow up so you might be on the lookout for a new visual app. Allow me to suggest a natty little platform I heard of ...

New school year = new tools.
Been trying out MyLens AI. It turns text, PDFs & links into timelines, mind maps & diagrams. Clean, simple & adaptable. Wrote up my first impressions here

Thanks to @teachwiseai.bsky.social for showing me it.

Quizzes aren’t just fun, they’re retrieval practice in disguise.
A quick Teams challenge gives students the recall reps they need and the buzz of competition.

That’s why I make space for @wayground.bsky.social quiz and give them a #TechTshirtTuesday shout out 👕
