We have been using Loop for a year now and it has greatly improved our meetings and especially our planning sessions. Can't praise it enough!

[Microsoft Loop @MicrosoftLoop]

Great ideas don’t start polished.
They start messy.
Copilot Pages give you a lightweight space to capture thoughts, refine with Copilot, and share early, without overthinking structure or formatting. ✨

@stkildafc Id rather watch Outback Truckers than this!

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

@MicrosoftTeams Can't wait for the panel resizing option to roll out!!! Any timeline for EDU users @MicrosoftTeams ?

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

Looking for a platform that does what Noodle Tools does + read and make notes like ReadCube does on PDFs. Mendely, Zotero & Margin Note not fitting the bill.
Suggestions?

[Alex McMillan @MrAlexEdTech]

@WatchAFLGlobal why does the website https://t.co/0AFSuD3vaB not include a ladder for the @aflwomens ?

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

@harkinworld @Cardinals Go Cubs???

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

Why is it the commentating crew @FOXFOOTY seldom if ever acknowledge the boundry commentator? Especially when it is a woman!

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

@snobby15 @FOXFOOTY Too busy claiming General Lee tried to unite the US...hope that was an attempt at humor.

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

A very interesting session with @edTechEvans around tech coaching models and he has me really re-evaluating my model preference. I can't wait to catch up with the other coaches at school.
@21cli

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

Attending the Empowering Women in STEM and Technology session @21cli and am learning so much. Lots about the importance of mentors. If you have had a female mentor be sure to let them know how important they were to you.

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

Twitter always asks: "What is happening ?!" Well here is what is happening!!! Proud to be an...

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

@CoraEdTech We are looking at that for next year! Any tips, tricks? You mentioned the 3 might be better...does it have a native drawing program or is there something you added? My ignorance beyond @ClassVR is showing!

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

To second what @MrAlexEdTech said, it was such an interesting and enlightening conversation with @adeelorama and the amazing educators on #genaiforschools. Great questions, amazing discussions and a peek at the future, who could ask for more!?!?

[Alex McMillan @MrAlexEdTech]

🤖 An amazing call with the #GenAIforSchools group! Special thanks to Adeel Khan (@adeelorama) from @magicschoolai for taking the time to talk to us today on @MicrosoftTeams!

🤯 One of my favorite things Adeel said to us was, "The new skill we are building together is learning how to communicate with machines... this is a new core competency [of the 21st Century]."

📆Join us on our next call on March 28th when we will discuss “In what ways are you supporting you school community (i.e. students, teachers, parents) to use Generative AI?” Message me, or comments below and I'll add you to our group where we share resources, talk Generative AI, and organize our calls.

👏 Special thanks to @AlexMBraden for co-organizing the call, and @tweetdanai @ameliaktech @joshwood_edu @ryanstrutin @watnunu @HollyClarkEdu @desertclimber @CoraEdTech @constancekkg @jordan @j_smigel @alishamym @jhastings852 and more for joining the call!

[Alex M Braden (he/him) @AlexMBraden]

@MrAlexEdTech was very kind to mention me, but he is leaving out his spearheading the AI guidance work we are doing @SASchina and how instrumental he is!

[Adeel @ MagicSchool AI @adeelorama]

So excited to honor educators leading the way embracing AI in education responsibly! Tag a friend who you think should win!
