Last year @APSInstructTech rolled out Google AI Essentials to all of our senior class. In 3 weeks we got just shy of 1/2 of our graduating seniors AI certified and literate! We launched this initiative today and our goal is 100% of graduating seniors this year! Let’s goooo!!!!

Great planning session with AP @J_Cappelli as we mapped out @APSMidtown’s rollout of APS’s Google AI Essentials initiative for Seniors! We explored @Google + @coursera and built a plan to get students started. Excited to see this initiative in action!🎓

Love this idea!! What a great resource for students to be able to show mastery of their learning or for teachers to share content with students in an engaging manner!

So fun showing @apsupdate coaches how to use @AdobeExpress's new comic strip maker. @APSITKrynica and I created a comic about sharing #edtech tools. Check it out.

@MsDanielsStormy @YouTube Thanks so much for the ideas! We don't have Edpuzzle but we do have Wevideo. So that's a possible solution!

For my friends in districts that have restricted @YouTube for students, what alternatives are you offering to teachers to assign instructional videos to students?

[Dr. Natasha Rachell @apsitnatasha]

@pnabbie @YouTube We need to chat!
