IFYKYK… Is this social media post Real or Rob? 👀 After today’s fourth AI Collective of Educators (ACE), we may have you second-guessing! 😏
Educators from across the region came together to connect, collaborate, and explore how artificial intelligence is changing teaching and learning. From putting their AI-detection skills to the test with “Real or Rob?” to exploring practical tools, strategies, and new possibilities for the classroom, ACE was all about learning together and rethinking what’s possible with AI in education.
A huge thank you to our guest presenters for sharing your expertise, ideas, and real-world experiences with our educators!
👏 Katie Beth Miller and Matthew Miller — Joshua ISD
👏 Vanida Costello, Kim Murphee, Autumn Riley, and Sara Wills - Mansfield ISD
👏 Austin Lee — Midlothian ISD
👏 Dr. Stacey Flinner and Kyle Esco — Crowley ISD
👏 Michelle Gonzalez and April Scott — Castleberry Independent School District
And a special shoutout to Brent Mischnick and Kerry Ferguson for leading the planning and bringing another ACE gathering to life. We wouldn't have been able to do it without Danielle Neely, Cole Wolsch, and our ESC Region 11 Digital Learning team for helping make the day a success!
We can’t wait to see how today’s conversations, ideas, and connections continue to shape the future of AI across our schools and districts. And just in case you’re still wondering… this post is Real. Or is it? 👀
