Reading Coach is available for FREE, can be used with Microsoft school OR personal accounts (you read that right, Google teachers!), and has the potential to create moments like this. #EduSky #TLSky #EduSkyAI #EDUSkyPrimary

It happened!! Check out this delightful new reading tool (some of our preview students called it a "reading game") in its shiniest-yet iteration 🚀 More exciting things to come.

Thank YOU for all you do!

And yes, I did spell "favourite" the American way to hit character count. @support.bsky.team -- thoughts on giving some of us an extra character in the limit to support our spelling preferences? ;)

YouTube video by Microsoft Research Fostering appropriate reliance on AI

We've seen what can happen when people over-rely on AI. @mihaelav.bsky.social, one of my favorite work people, offers a clear-eyed discussion of how we might foster *appropriate* reliance instead.

Not EDU-specific but might be interesting to my #EDUSky / #EDUSkyAI friends! youtu.be/na4AAsKblsA?...

This put a big smile on my face! @laylahb.bsky.social check it out!!

Welcome to Vancouver!! 🌲🏔️🍁

Ooh! I don’t disagree with him about the enemies, but I don’t see AI as necessarily worsening this. In many cases, it can raise the cognitive bar – time I’d spend making an output “good enough” on my own is now spent tearing “good enough” outputs apart, challenging my own assumptions, and iterating.

Search Progress and Coach are connected experiences, too! 🔎✨

Thanks, Meg. 💙 It’s brutal news.

Yay, Holly!! Welcome! In case it’s helpful as you rebuild your network, I’m working on a Microsoft EDU team starter pack: go.bsky.app/9c9TA8Q

Woohoo! I’m all booked too. Can’t wait! ✨

The Ozdust ballroom scene had me in tears! What a special film.

Yes!! Can’t wait!!!

Media Literacy is a huge part of learning about AI. Filters on TikTok, deepfake videos, photos that are automatically altered and stitched together in your phone camera. Our students need to be able to understand how to identify what is real.
