AI is changing how we learn and work. Education needs more than a software update.

Through NeighborMind AI, the business I founded, I’ve been working with Pam Roy and Elliot Washor to build the website for their upcoming book, The Education Pivot: Meaning and Mattering in the Age of AI.

The book explores how we keep education centered on people: their relationships, interests, agency, and sense of purpose.

Building the site has stretched my web development and AI agent orchestration skills. But the bigger lesson has come from real responsibility, direct feedback, and contributing to something beyond a practice project.

There’s a fitting connection here: I’m helping share a book about learning through meaningful, real-world experiences while having one myself.

Thank you, Pam and Elliot, for the trust. Proud to help bring this conversation to more people.

I want to reflect more on (Citizen or Analyst Standard) in my practice, because AI is HERE in our classrooms! #ISTEcert @AjBloom2pnt0 @atilamrac @DaisySam1 @EWaltersScience

[John Lewis HS Tech @Lancer_EdTech]

I find indicator 16 most valuable in my practice because I work with adult learners with different needs and want to respect that but also model how teacher should put accomodations in their practice for students!

It’s a week of great things! Excited to announce my most current achievement. This has been the most challenging achievement because it truly required me to turn theory into practice! #istecertified

While I am still excited about passing the ISTE Certified Educator process, I wanted to share about my experience for other educators who may be considering the process.

How does your district onboard new student with the technology used in the classroom? My nephew started 9th grade in a new district and was lost with all the technology and resource expectations which resulted in late work the first week of school. Luckily he has a techy aunt 🙏

[Colby Frantz @ColbyFrantz]

I AM OFFICIALLY an ISTE Certified Educator! This process has allowed me reflect on my current practice and build competencies to share with my educational community.

I am excited to join this community of almost 2K educators worldwide.

I want to reflect more on the Analyst Standard in my practice, because I believe in the power of providing students with choice and need to think more about how to implement this effectively in my courses #HIEDISTE #ISTECert @stefboutelier @madcraig @daisysam1 @atilamrac

[Daisy Sam, Ed.D @DaisySam1]
