Triple G: Gobs of Google Goodies

Had the fun opportunity to present at our district's SPARK Digital Learning conference. It was a very fun group to present Gobs of Google Goodies to. We started with the Cha-Cha Slide and ended singing like Freddie Mercury. Hopefully, fun was had by all.

I Don't Know What to Create
Time after time, I hear teachers who want to do something with students using technology but are unsure what to create. Here is a list of products students can make that show off their knowledge.

I Don't Know What to Create Technology Tips for Teachers from Scott Firenza

The AI Delima: Cheating or Working Smarter
I created this AI presentation for a principals leadership meeting I sent in a proposal for, but it didn't get accepted. Still, I like it so thought I'd share. Similar to my other AI presentation, but this one focuses on defining student cheating, acknowledging AI exists, and the need for a policy.

Thank you to Matt Miller for the inspiration and for the "What's Cheating" graphic. Make sure to check out his site for many great resources. https://ditchthattextbook.com/

AI: From Skynet to Superpower; Tools you can use today
I was privileged to present this session for LISD teachers twice this summer. As I told them, I am not an AI expert but an enthusiast. It will be interesting to see how this will impact education.

I showed these tools to be used as teacher tools and not necessarily for students use. Still a lot of fuzzy policies out there for students.

A.I. presentation
Working on a new (I guess more like updated) A.I. presentation for some summer classes. How does anyone keep up with this new stuff?!? So much to tell teachers and so little time. Keep looking at our social media for on Facebook, X(Twitter), Instagram, and Threads.

I'm still here
Happy 2022!

Been a while since I've checked in, but I'm still around. Been posting on social media more than blogging.

If you are looking for my professional social media you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

It has been 2 yrs since I have actually presented in front of a classroom of teachers. I hope to do some this year. I'll put resources here as usual.

Other than that, stay negative!!! (In a COVID sense, Stay positive as we will get through this.)
