I just completed the Generative AI for Educators course. It was a good overview of how to integrate AI into teaching. I would recommend it to other educators who want to learn more about the subject. πŸ€– #AIinEducation

My daughter had the amazing opportunity to meet Tahereh Mafi at her book signing and Q&A session last week in Edinburgh. As a budding author herself, this night meant the world to her. So many creative sparks flying! πŸ€©πŸ“– #TaherehMafi #AuthorLove

Loved learning about how easy is it to add captions in the Adobe Express video creation session this week! It's amazing how much you can do with this tool. I love their diverse animation characters too! #AdobeExpress #VideoTips #Animation

Great to see progress! πŸŽ‰ We already do our best to avoid deficit-based language, but let's encourage wider adoption of positive terms that truly reflect deaf identity. This BATOD resource is key! πŸ—£οΈβž‘οΈπŸ‘‚ shorturl.at/zxqy4 #DeafGain #PositiveLanguage #Inclusion

Definitely got my attention! πŸ‘€ AI in BSL for teaching would be fantastic, but the points raised about accuracy and variation are so important. Keen to learn more about the research and development in this area. #BSL #AI #DeafEducation
