I spend a lot of time thinking about products, features, and the ways technology can make teaching and learning a little easier. But some of my favorite moments are when I get to connect directly with educators and hear how they’re actually putting these tools to work.

I’m proud to celebrate the incredible educators, schools, and systems being recognized today, and grateful for everything this community continues to teach us.

Designing a Georgia regions and habitats project in @DiscoveryEd Sandbox AR for 3rd graders! Students create a region, navigate it in AR, and record a video explaining physical features and animal adaptations. Spatial storytelling in action! @apsitnatasha @APSInstructTech

K–1 educators in @apsupdate are taking learning "Beyond the Block"! @APSITKrystle and I had an incredible PL session exploring how interactive video in @WeVideo moves young learners from passive watching to active listening, speaking, and showing what they know. #undeniableimpact

[Jen Hall, NBCT @apsitjen]

I had a blast facilitating two virtual #edtech sessions with secondary ELA & SS teachers as part of the @apsupdate district PL Day. We explored the features of @WeVideo multimedia and interactive creation tools to engage and assess learners.
