I didn’t start on big stages with spotlights and theater acoustics. Some of you attended some of my sessions that looked just like this. And I still love doing it. ❤️ Thanks to @tcjacketsbuzz for having me share a AI magic 🪄 today.

She had an idea and passion for helping her students succeed in the most "bananas" way possible! As a mega @TheSavBananas fan, Brooke incorporated the entire BBCL (Banana Ball League) to teach her students about math. With a little help from @GeminiApp, she nailed it!

I used AI to write my papers in college and it was awesome.

But I’m not happy that entry level white collar jobs are being outsourced to AI, and I’m still unemployed.

For high school students and those entering the work force…

Portfolios aren’t just for creatives. Whether it’s LinkedIn or some other easily accessible website, you should FLEX 💪 what you’re good at, giving PROOF of what you’re able to contribute to a company. Amaze them.

@cesa7_walters @packers @CESA7 Jeff, it was a pleasure working with your regional K-12 leaders! Having an event at Lambeau Field has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve been a part of.

I’m not a social media expert and put “most of my eggs” into direct-to-human email newsletters.

But this ⬇️ is spot on in my mind.

In general, we’re all becoming numb to the algorithms, hype, shock factor, brain rot, and impersonal content.

Give me something real and…cringe

@Integr8This Oh man, guys!! I’ve made it. I enjoyed this conversation so much. Thanks for allowing a balding techie dude be on the show.

I know many teachers paying $20 a month for the service already. Built-in protections, data not used to train models by default , FERPA compliance. Can also be managed by district and administration.

I feel like this is in response to the gains with Google AI for education.
