My most recent project involves humanizing productivity with the use of artificial intelligence. Right now I’m reading slow productivity by Cal Newport for the third time.

This quote hits me in the feels right now.

How do we prevent AI from doing what networked computing did in the 90s?

I’m finding more and more ways to use AI all the time. It has saved me time throughout the school year. I feel like I have certain tools, but don’t feel like I’m close to maximizing the potential. #BFC530

Difficult at this time of year, but I enjoy spending time outside, especially exercising. Spending time with my family and avoiding brining work home when it can be avoided all help. It can be a struggle at times though. #BFC530

We are about to engage in a choice board assessment which allows students to creatively show how they can apply skills that we discussed through our a novel they have read in class. The board provides creative ways for students to connect with the material from class. #BFC530

I was a sports nut in upper elementary…if Matt Christopher wrote, I read it. Before that Arthur, Encyclopedia Brown, and The Boxcar Children got me reading. #kidlitchat

As someone who has spent a couple of years trying to do that myself, I’d love to get insights and share with others on this topic! #theedcollab

A7 Best follows and resources would be good. Also, as teachers sometimes it’s hard to reflect in the moment, but oh so important. The chats I used to interact with helped me do that. Maybe questions focused on how we’ve grown as educators and lessons we have learned would be good. #theedcollab

It’s amazing how connecting with others can help provide those tools! Keep fighting the good fight and doing the right work! Process over outcome! #theedcollab

A2 Up and down. I am currently enjoying what I’m teaching but it’s a busy time of year. I am coaching basketball and finishing grad school. I am fortunate to work with great people and have a supportive family…but there are still tough days. I appreciate the check in #theedcollab

I like that one!!! As an undergrad I saw Harry Wong speak and the main advise I remember is C.A.S.E. Copy and Steal Everything!”

A4 My grade level team and PLC in my district as all the in person connections I have made. Looking forward to joining this ground #BFC530 #eduskychat and others. I enjoyed participating in #ditchbook and #TLAP on twitter. I have also enjoyed learning from peers in my grad program

#theedcollab a3 Teachers are thieves. I look forward to stealing the best ideas and the best strategies. Assignments, assessments, grading ideas, new tech tools…all of it.

Seeing that personal connection and the pride many student take in being connected to someone who served is so awesome. It is one of my favorite things I see each year. #BFC530

I taught social studies for my first nine years teaching and have moved to ELA the last three. When I can work to combine the two it always feels right to me!

Our 8th graders conduct an interview with a veteran and often learn a lot about the life of a family member or family friend. #BFC530

It varies honestly. Some are able to adapt to it quickly, others struggle. This year I’m considering making a screencast tutorial to show the ins and outs to see if that helps. I haven’t used it much myself. It is usually a scenario where I help students by playing with the tool myself. #eduskychat

We have students use this yearly. It is a great tool! The audio allows us to share stories 8th graders write with other students in the district! #eduskychat

A3 I may need to spend some time on Magic School for some AI help. I’d also like to dig more into Diffit’s eduprotocols. I am using their Bookakucha template tomorrow to my students who are reading dystopian novels #eduskychat

Lately it’s been my short answer. I have honestly fallen behind, I feel. I switched from history to ELA at the time many ed chats ended. I want to incorporate more eduprotocols soon! #eduskychat

Such an underrated tool! I use it for sub plans mostly, but it is great for anything instructional. #eduskychat
