I’m very excited to speak on a panel w/ @AP_Trevor on the role of generative AI in the classroom at the Advanced Placement Annual Conference in Seattle, WA. If you are attending, come check it out on Friday at 8:30am PDT in Summit: Level 4 - Terrace Suite. #AP_Conf @CollegeBoard
This.
I’ve participated in a lot of conversations about generative AI in schools lately. Most of these are centered around students using it to cheat. Maybe if the experiences we’re offering young people can be done by a bot in seconds, then it’s time to change our strategies.
I had a great time learning along with you! @CollegeBoard
Enjoyed two days @jsuinservice while learning about the Pre-AP Shared Principles & Areas of Focus w/ @tntowslee ♥️📚 Great conversations & practice! 💛

Things that Schools should teach: 🧠
• Being wrong is not a bad thing.
• It's Okay to question what you have been taught.
• Grades aren't as valuable as skills.
• Understanding is more important than memorization.
• Making mistakes is Okay. Learn from your mistakes.

A new book on why generalists—who dabble and try things, rather than committing immediately to a specialty—tend to find greater success has some clear (and counterintuitive) implications for parents, writes @AshleyFetters theatlantic.com/family/archi…
I’m always grateful when work allows me to catch up with old friends, and I’m especially grateful for @EdTechPBC for inviting me back for more Virtual Experiences. Spending some time in the @GreatSmokyNPS discussing outdoor work and volunteerism. Stay tuned! #ALPLearn @ALPlearn

Today’s digital learners and tomorrow’s digital leaders are great multitaskers. Let’s not assume students aren’t paying attention even if it seems that way. #Garrett spent most of his time in class on Reddit, but could explain concepts better than most and got a 5 on the AP exam.
